tech report has one of the better p4 1.7ghz reviews out. some really useful numbers: ps5bench on ps 6.0.1 and lame among those.
Running this suite of tests on these processors has demonstrated a couple of things worth noting about how these CPUs perform. First and foremost, it’s clear the Athlon 1.33GHz is still the big dawg of PC processors. It’s easily the fastest x86-compatible CPU around. Intel’s new entry, the 1.7GHz Pentium 4, performs about like a 1.2GHz Athlon in most situations.
