"Intel was creeping ahead of AMD in the performance tests when
they released the 2.4GHz Pentium 4, but now with 533MHz FSB parts
and bumping the clock speed up to 2.53GHz the performance crown is
undeniably Intel's. There are still a few cases where the Athlon XP
can come out ahead but for the foreseeable future, Intel will claim
the right to the highest performing desktop microprocessor." |

"Even given the price, the Intel Pentium 4 / 2.533GHz is an impressive
product. It's hard to imagine that we were only running 200MHz Pentiums
just five years ago. For the majority of performance-oriented users,
it could be the cats meow." |

"Make
no mistake about it the Pentium 4 2.53GHz is the fastest desktop processor
available from any manufacturer. With its screaming 533MHz bus and
512K L2 cache, the P4 2.53GHz offers more than enough performance
for all of today’s latest games and other software applications.
We just wish it cost a little bit less." |

"Pentium
4 has enough momentum to beat AMD's current flagship, the Athlon XP
2100+, in all our benchmark tests. The pricey 2.53GHz extends that
lead." |

"We can
now say that Intel is absolutely kicking AMD's ass in desktop CPU
performance without having to duck for cover." |

"These
CPUs are a great step forward in providing computers with the extra
bandwidth needed for games and high-end applications. However, it
does come at a price." |

"In all
the benchmarks we've performed with the Pentium 4 2.53GHz, there is
no doubt that the Pentium 4 is now holding the crown of performance.
However, the price of the 2.53GHz will not be cheap" |

"Considering
that many enthusiasts already have it in their heads that Northwood
was going to be the end-all, be-all performance chip of the day, the
Northwood will be considered a disappointment." " |

"Intel
has clearly taken a very comfortable performance lead over arch rival
AMD, with this latest release of the Pentium 4 processor. In the tests
you've seen here, we've taken the highest speed Athlon and paired
it with the best system board, chipset and memory money can buy and
then compared the results to the Pentium 4B across multiple platforms.
The moral of the story is that Intel has a definitive edge with respect
to overall system performance, at this juncture. " |

"Once
again, Intel is releasing another speed bump of a processor, certainly
enough to go crazy about it and write a review that could be compressed
into two sentences like: Yes it is faster. Intel has done it again
... and ripped the crown from AMD .... Thanks for reading this." |

"Well,
I can’t give Intel more credit. They are executing like champions
and bring us better and faster processors. They are now clearly out
in front of AMD in nearly every category. With the introduction of
Tehama, Intel is now in the driver’s seat of the CPU wars." |

" P4 STILL
continues to be the fastest X86 processor on earth. The additional
FSB of these new 533 "B" CPU's only strengthens this position." |

"In all
25 benchmark disciplines, the Intel Pentium 4/2533 is well ahead of
the AMD Athlon XP 2100+. Together with 533 MHz RDRAM, the P4 gains
accordingly in performance through an FSB clock that has been increased
from 100 MHz to 133 MHz." |

"With the
launch of Intel’s Netburst 533 architecture, the performance
gap between the Pentium 4 and Athlon XP is further increasing. As
we saw even with the Athlon XP2100+ at 166 MHz FSB, the Athlon XP
can no longer hide behind its Model number system because Intel is
back in the game. It began with the Northwood (400), which slowly
narrowed the performance gap between AMD, now with the Netburst 533
processors; AMD should be very worried as more users will flock to
Intel." |

"At the
end of the day, the Intel Pentium 4 with a 533MHz FSB is a full-on
jump in the right direction for Intel. This new advancement allows
for the current Pentium 4 line to gain extra ground over existing
P4's, upcoming P4 Celeron's and the Athlon XP, which is still stuck
on a 2.1GB/s bandwidth." |

"From all
the benchmarks, we can observe that Intel is clearly ahead in the
Megahertz and performance race especially with the launch of fastest
533Mhz P4 2.53Ghz. With the Intel 850E RDRAM board, it further put
Intel well ahead in terms of performance." |
