"Already holding the speed crown, AMD decided to "one up" Intel once more with the release of the AthlonXP 2000+ CPU. With the XP2000+ retailing for approx. $540 and the Pentium4 2.0 GHz for around $830, we weren't too happy to have to buy one these P4's for this review, but, it's all in the name of testing, so let the dual begin!
The AthlonXP processor incorporates quite a few new "features" that it's older brother the Athlon doesn't have. Most notably the Quanti-Speed Architecture. What exactly is Quanti-Speed you ask? Well, first off it's really more of a marketing ploy then anything else, and essentially says that "our CPU's do more work per clock cycle, so MHz means nothing now." Still, there are some true enhancements from the Athlon core."
