Intel Pentium 4 3.73GHz Extreme Edition @ Viperlair

“As we’ve seen in our results, the gap between AMD and Intel in terms of application performance is a lot closer than it used to be, at least when we’re talking about $1000 processors. The 3.73GHz Extreme Edition did edge the Athlon FX-55 in most of the application tests (and trumped it in video encoding), but the race is getting tighter here. While the FX-55 did win all the gaming benchmarks, we saw that the larger cache and 1066FSB narrowed the results for Intel, but not enough to overtake AMD.”
