amd=intel clock speed comparison?

Question

as we know amd clock speeds are lower than intels as they use a different way of determining their speeds
i have a p.c with a athlon 1.15 ghz as a 2nd p.c,,what would that be compared to a intel processor
in other words what clock speed in a intel chip would be equal to a athlon 1.15ghz

Answer 1

Benchmark tests would be the best comparison

I recommend the BOINC benchmark test. Visit http://boinc.berkeley.edu/

I keep a database of BOINC benchmark test results at my Yahoo Group.

Join http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KeepYourComputerAlive/
then go to the database section,
then add your computer test results to Benchmark

Here are some of the previously posted results:

Celeron(TM) CPU 1300MHz
1160 2068
GenuineIntel x86 Family 6 Model 7 Stepping 3 451MHz
393 680
Pentium III - 600 MHz -x86 Family 6 Model 7
507 882
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.8GHz
921 1822
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz
1388 2677
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
1512 2543
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
1513 2199
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz "630 - LGA 775"

Answer 2

Here's the simple answer to your question. Although each processor has it's specialties (what it's particularly good at), across the board, multiply a Pentium processor's speed by .6, to see how fast it is compared to an Athlon/Athlon XP.

But, AMD has released about 100 different chips since they made your 1.1 or 1.2 Ghz Athlon, as has Intel. On the absolute newest processors, Intel has FINALLY retaken the lead. So, you multiply the newest AMD chips' speed by .8, to find out how fast it is compared to a Core 2 Duo (the newest Intel processor).

Those two numbers will serve you really well, except for the two companies' specialties. AMD's specialty is gaming, and Intel's specialty is video. You have to add or subtract a few .10's, when comparing them at their specialties.

Answer 3

Well, since the processor is pretty old I don't think you'll find useful benchmark results for it so your best bet would be to extrapolate. You need to find an AMD CPU that's close to the one you have and find out its equivalent then assume a linear relationship and calculate the equivalent of your processor.
You can use the Athlon XP 1800+, its clock speed is 1.53GHz and its equivalent in Intel is 1.8GHz. So using cross multiplication you can see that the equivalent of your CPU is 1.353GHz. Taking into account that the Athlon XP was a newer and hence better technology at the time, I guess your actual CPU equivalent would be a 1.3GHz Intel CPU....

Answer 4

In a recent test the Athlon was found to be five per cent slower than the Pentium-not discernible to the human eye.

Answer 5

a 1.15 would be about a 2.4ghz Intel approx.
not sure though
but it would be about a 1ghz Core 2 Duo Intel
but that doesn't matter

Answer 6

1.15 of AMD is approx equal to 2.2ghz of intel.

Answer 7

oops i am not able to help, much to technical for me
