So I have a huge project for work to compare these two CPUs! We're using them for our min specs and need to know if they're pretty similar performance-wise WITHOUT OCing!

If you dont think they're the same and there is a huge difference, what would be a similar CPU that would make them both even (either changing the AMD or the P4).

THANK YOU MUCH!
 
This ain't easy but I think that the AMD chip would be the better processor not only due to the higher running speed but more importantly the AMD has bigger on-die cache sizes.
 
Another vote for the AthlonXP - it blows early Netburst Pentium 4s out of the water.

Something more on par with the AthlonXP would be maybe a Northwood or Prescott P4 in the 2.6-3.0 range.
