    Do you mean the stock speed, or with overclocking? If the latter, it depends on the specific cpu.

    Mine is 1.9Ghz per core.

    this poll is pointless.

    I have a P4 at 2.66GHz .. and yet it's 4 times slower than my T7500 which is on 2.2GHz. So how fast your CPU is does not compare proportionally to the clock speed that it's using.

    the 2GHz option appears at 2 places

    the 2.8GHz option is missing

    no option above 3.8GHz

    I would assume that people don't use CPUs below 500MHz, but still that's missing too

    - so what are we talking about here ?!?!?!?!

    I had posted screenies of the X9000, T5200 and the Celeron in random threads, dunno where the screenies are now. The X9000 and T7600, both ES, were overclocked in a modded aopen i975xa-ydg. :cool: The Celeron M 420 has been sold, won't talk about the Celeron M 373, and the T5200 is running OCed in my notebook (which I cannot disassemble to install the T7600 :().

    I remember the screenshots of the X9000, T5200 and Celery, but i do not recall the T7600 benchies. I guess it is possible, but that is one hell of an overclock. 2.33 to 3.8, I commend you :D
    Its a shame that screw wont come loose, or you would have one awesome laptop cpu.

    Why do people say "on each core" ? :D Isn't that crystal clear if you have a CPU with 2 cores? I do not know of any CPU with 2 cores that can run both cores at different speeds :p Or can someone update me on that one? :D

    I knew I should've gone 3.8 GHz Pentium 4 instead! Then I'd be better off in this poll (2.2 GHz Core 2 is what I got). And it actually might've been faster for single-threaded apps after overclocking.

    4 times slower? That's one slow P4 2.66 GHz. My T7500 is only about 1.5 times as fast as my Pentium 4 2.66 GHz Northwood per core, so 3 times overall. I know the T7500 is about average on benchmarks, too. Maybe you ought to clean out the vents on your P4 machine? I don't think they made a Prescott 2.66 GHz, so I doubt that's the difference.

    But it's quite true that Pentium 4 users have a huge advantage in this poll.

    :laugh: That's a nice clip, though even a dead CPU could do that.

    Well, AMD is coming out with some that will allow you to completely disable a core if it's not needed. And Intel allows "Dynamic Acceleration" on Santa Rosa and later which allows one core to run at an extra multiplier (say 2.2 GHz on a T7300 instead of 2 GHz) while the other is underclocked - to benefit single-threaded applications. But as for CPU's that usually run at different frequencies, I don't know of any.
