I am about to upgrade and change my
motherboard and CPU, but need some help deciding which is the best CPU to
choose out of the AMD K6-2 3DNow! or the Celeron-400.
For a direct comparison between the
average relative performance of Intel's Celeron-400
and the various speeds of AMD's K6-2
series (or any other PC CPUs), go straight to our CPU
Comparator. You will see that, if you are running mostly business
applications and in general use, the K6-2s at 350MHz and above will beat
out the Celeron at a comparable price.
Where the Celeron may shine over K6-2s at the same clock speed is in
high-performance gaming. Video-intensive, fast-actions games require a
fast floating-point calculator. In this area, the Celeron is the clear
choice.
