How to find amd equivalent of a pentium...say which amd processor is as fast as 2.8 GHz P4? Can you compare pentium and amd just like you compare different pentiums ( I say 2.8 is certainly better than 2.4 Ghz P4...)?

Goto www.tomshardware.com and look at the cpu benchmarks. That will give a very good idea of how the cpus compare to each other. GHz comparing no longer applies, it how many instructions it can handle in that time.

The answer to your first question: An AMD equivalent to PENTIUM ( I suppose you mean the Pentium4), is the AMD ATHLON64
the answer to your 2nd question: well, actually for AMD you're more likely to find those labels- 3200+ , 3500+ and so on....
To have a better idea, I suggest you visit the AMD website....theres also a comparative engine there where you can find the processor which suits you most....and its very convenient and easy to use.......Hope I've been able to help you.....

you're going to wish to seem on the type of cores, clockspeed, L2 Cache, L3 Cache. commonly the bigger the numbers the added ideal. regardless of if there is little experience in comparing Intel and AMD CPUs in accordance to those specs on account that they use thoroughly diverse architectures. operating example, even regardless of the reality that AMD Bulldozer Fx-8100 has a higher L2 Cache length and has 4 extra cores in evaluation to i7 2600K, the 2600K nonetheless beats the living crap out of it on benchmark assessments.

Look on the websites www.amd.com and www.intel.com. Also search for comparisons using a search engine.
