Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Dedicated Server : Compare CPU Opteron 170 VS P4 2.8

[iewei]

Is Opteron 170 a lot faster than P4 2.8?

Thanks

[KarlZimmer]

Yes, a LOT faster. it is a dual core vs. a single core processor, you're going to get nearly twice the processing power out of the Opteron 170.

Thanks a lot

Even if that P4 is a dual core, the opteron will still smoke it hands down.

It's a pentium 4 so I'm guessing its not dual core, otherwise it would be a pentium D.

Either way, one core of the 170 would be faster than the P4 IMO.

Opteron cannot be compared with P4 man hope this is server processor and P4 is desktop processor . check Opteron fsb and its better than P4
