Eric.C Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Which one is faster? I already know the Intel is better for OS X, but when running Windows, which is faster?

djXtreme Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 couldnt find any benchmarks for the 2.0 intel, but the .1.8 is only slightly behind the 5000x2. Personally I'd plump for the Intel, just for Hack purposes.

Eric.C Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 and then I assume that the E4500 would be much faster than the 5000+?

altcomputing Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Just to say: E2140 i have managed to overclock to 2666 with Stock Cooling, it goes 3000MHz without problem, but cooling needs to be replaced with a better one. So there's a lot more power in it than you may think. Go buy Intel.

netkas Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 5000+ is faster then non-oc 2180 for sure....but 2180 can run vanilla osx kernel Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/80077-amd-athlon-5000-or-intel-pentium-dual-core-e2180/#findComment-568980 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deviant0ne Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I bought a 2140 to upgrade my Celeron 420-L and I have had nothing but problems since installing it. I wasn't able to install a single distro of OS X (problem outlined here and here), though the idea of dual core was appealing. I have since downgraded my processor back to the Celeron just to get my hack back online... I would say go for the Intel, but be careful with hardware... You may end up like me with a nice dual core processor sitting idle in a closet waiting for a new OS X distro.

Synaesthesia Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 That's really surprising, but it really sucks for you! Sorry man! I say surprising because so many people have a similar or same processor working fine. Well, I hope you find your AppleACPI...

Kane Adams Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Thanks for the heads up on the 2140. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/80077-amd-athlon-5000-or-intel-pentium-dual-core-e2180/#findComment-571527 Share on other sites More sharing options...
