How does the bus speed effect the processor such as 2.66ghz pd 533fsb?

Question

is tht processor good compared to a 800fsb

Answer 1

If the bus is going too fast just ask the driver to slow down..Duh!

Sorry, could not resist. (((smile)))

Answer 2

Not only does that lost post smell of plagiarism (cut & paste), but it's also boring an inadequate. No one cares if it's faster than a peripheral bus or slower than the backside.

The 533MHz frontside bus really runs at 133MHz true speed. The width of the channel and transferring data twice per clock cycle, is why the true speed is multiplied by 4 to give you a "theoretical" speed of 533MHz. It was eventually replaced by an 800MHz FSB in the newer Intel P4's (and in recent CPUs from Intel, it runs at 1066MHz).

All you need to know for making a purchase is that the FSB rating is a big factor in overall performance when comparing CPUs from the same manufacturer (such as Intel). In other words, don't look at the bus speed on an AMD CPU and think that it is an apples-to-apples comparison with Intel's FSB. It's not.

A 2.8GHz P4 533MHz FSB will perform roughly 5-10% slower than a 2.8GHz P4 800MHz FSB.

Answer 3

System Bus - The primary pathway between the CPU and memory. The speed is derived from the number of parallel channels (16 bit, 32 bit, etc.) and clock speed. Also known as a "frontside bus," it is faster than the peripheral bus (PCI, ISA, etc.), but slower than the backside bus.
Most modern buses (both GTL+ and EV6 from DEC Alpha) serve as a backbone between the CPU and a chipset. This chipset (usually a combination of northbridge and southbridge) is the connection point for all other buses in the system. The PCI, AGP, and memory buses all connect to the chipset to allow for data to flow between the connected devices.

These system buses usually run at speeds derived from the front side bus' speed. In general, a faster front side bus means higher processing speeds and a faster computer.

Answer 4

The Front Side Bus (FSB) is the connection between the CPU and system memory.

The Front Side Bus operates at a speed which is a percentage of the CPU clock speed.

The faster the speed at which the Front Side Bus allows data transfer, the better the performance of the CPU.

Answer 5

The processer (cpu) runs at 2.66ghz but can only access data over the bus at bus speeds, so the faster the bus the faster it can get data to process
