Socket 939 Athlon benchmarked

INTEL'S 3.4GHz Pentium 4 processors tip up in both Prescott and Northwood flavours. Do they have the guts to keep up with the Athlon 64 3400+ and Athlon 64 FX-53 wonders Hothardware here.

SimHQ suggests the 3.4 could be the last Northwood processor we'll see over here.

Other reviews are at Sudhian here. Legitreviews here. And on Techreport here. And Computerbase (in German) here.

On the other side of the CPU fence, Computerbase has also been able to run Sandra on a Socket 939 Athlon 64 3400+ (512 KB) system. They only managed this on a single-cannel mode, however. Their findings are here.
