Something like an Intel Pentium 2.8 at 800 mhz equals an AMD 3600+, or some equation like that.

The Pentium E2100-series also runs at a slower 800 MHz front side bus, in comparison to the Core 2 Duo’s 1066 MHz FSB and the newer / upcoming 1333 MHz FSB. This cuts down on bandwidth, but at ...

Jim Salter In 2001-2005—the era of Athlon XP and Athlon 64 vs Pentium 4—AMD reigned supreme on dual-threaded workloads. In 2006, Intel's Pentium Extreme 965 changed the balance. Jim Salter ...

They're the first Pentium-branded processors to support Hyper-Threading since Intel retired the Pentium 4 brand, and we suspect AMD's upcoming Ryzen probably had something to do with the announcement.

Our initial table here shows performance of the Pentium paired with both 2133MHz and 2400MHz DDR4, and stacks it up against a selection of processors you may be considering for a budget build ...
