CPU Performance Ratings

[DBest]

hi all.

im looking to upgrade my PC and by a laptop. now i have been busy for the last 2 years so my tech knowledge has suffered.

todays CPUs, the Ghz dont matter, they have some number like AMD had in the old days (and still now). i find intels PR confusing. e.g core2duo 6300 , its at 1.83Ghz, what the heck is the 6300 ? is it a PR of 6.3 Ghz ? :confused:

help much appreciated.

basically u know how an AMD CPU e.g. AMD AthlonXP 3200+ means that its like a 3.2GHz CPU,

with an intel core2duo 6300, does it mean its like a 6.3Ghz cpu ?

hi all.
the Ghz dont matter,


i saw some one say the same thing on another site and im stell confused about that i mean how dose it not matter when it tells you how fast it is

thin agen my desktop has a 2.20 ghz cpu and my laptop has a 1.40 ghz cpu but yet my laptop is faster ??
