As we all know, Intel and AMD has been rushing out with newer processors to take advantage of the higher fsb. The most apparent jump was from Intel P4 533 (133 Mhz fsb) to the 800Mhz (200Mhz FSB). This paints another chapter in PC industry as AMD follows suit with an upcoming model known as the Barton 400 which runs at 200Mhz FSB.
Sometimes, readers will ask me, what is difference between all these 200,400, 800. Well the simple way to differentiate them is to check what speeds is the CPU rated at. For example an Intel P4 400Mhz model is actually running at 100Mhz FSB, 533 is running 133 and 800 is running 200. The "multiplier" of 4 or what is well known quad pumped. That is how you derive 800Mhz (200x4).
On the AMD front, it is somewhat non quad pumped but doubly pumped. Well that is a processor rated operating at 266Mhz is actually in fact running 133Mhz FSB x 2. The current Thoroughbreds are running at 333Mhz or 166x2. The yet to be released processor will be based on 200Mhz fsb, thus it is the Barton 400.

Conclusion
Both processors, AMD Barton XP3000+ (400) and the Intel Pentium 4 3.0G (800) has excellent performance in various categories. In fact, in most of the tests, the P4 leads the way. Well, this can be due to a number of reasons like a better chipset which is optimised for HT and multimedia applications.
On the AXP3000+, as usual, we noticed faster response time and start time when using the system. That is how I feel when using the two systems during my comparative tests. As for the AMD platform, we should see more boards available using the new nForce2 Ultra 400 which will officially support this new processor Barton 400 as the current one still remains a bit buggy and hangs intermittently in some tests.
There is also another question on why the bandwidth on the AMD DC boards so low compared to the Intel counterparts. As SiS and VIA both claims they have some technique to fully utilise the bandwidth of a single stick (non Dual Channel DDR) using technology like hyperstreaming, it is yet to be seen how will it boost the performance of the AXP 3000+ further to compete head to head with the P4 3.0G (800, Hyperthreading) + Canterwood or with Springdale (which is cheaper).
