Intel Pentium 4 1.70GHz vs AMD Athlon 64 3000+

The Intel Pentium 4 1.70GHz is newer than AMD Athlon 64 3000+, while AMD Athlon 64 3000+ is significantly faster in multi-threaded (CPU Mark) testing and is significantly faster in single-thread testing. However, AMD Athlon 64 3000+ uses around 33% more power. All the CPUs in this comparison belong in the Desktop CPU Class.The values below were tabulated from a combined 349 benchmarks submitted from our PerformanceTest software and results and are updated daily to include new submissions.

  • The first section will show basic information for each CPU selected.
  • The additional graphs shows the CPU Mark and Single Thread values of each CPU selected.
  • An accompany graph, if price data is available, will shows the value for money, in terms of the CPU Mark/Thread Rating per dollar.
  • The last section will show approximate yearly running costs for the CPUs.
