amd=intel clock speed comparison?

as we know amd clock speeds are lower than intels as they use a different way of determining their speeds i have a p.c with a athlon 1.15 ghz as a 2nd p.c,,what would that be compared to a intel processor in other words what clock speed in a intel chip would be equal to a athlon 1.15ghz

1. In a recent test the Athlon was found to be five per cent slower than the Pentium-not discernible to the human eye.
2. oops i am not able to help, much to technical for me
3. Benchmark tests would be the best comparison I recommend the BOINC benchmark test. Visit http://boinc.berkeley.edu/ I keep a database of BOINC benchmark test results at my Yahoo Group. Join http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KeepYourComputerAlive/ then go to the database section, then add your computer test results to Benchmark Here are some of the previously posted results: Celeron(TM) CPU 1300MHz 1160 2068 GenuineIntel x86 Family 6 Model 7 Stepping 3 451MHz 393 680 Pentium III - 600 MHz -x86 Family 6 Model 7 507 882 Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.8GHz 921 1822 Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz 1388 2677 Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz 1512 2543 Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz 1513 2199 Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz "630 - LGA 775" 1336 1614
4. Well, since the processor is pretty old I don't think you'll find useful benchmark results for it so your best bet would be to extrapolate. You need to find an AMD CPU that's close to the one you have and find out its equivalent then assume a linear relationship and calculate the equivalent of your processor. You can use the Athlon XP 1800+, its clock speed is 1.53GHz and its equivalent in Intel is 1.8GHz. So using cross multiplication you can see that the equivalent of your CPU is 1.353GHz. Taking into account that the Athlon XP was a newer and hence better technology at the time, I guess your actual CPU equivalent would be a 1.3GHz Intel CPU....
5. a 1.15 would be about a 2.4ghz Intel approx. not sure though but it would be about a 1ghz Core 2 Duo Intel but that doesn't matter
6. Here's the simple answer to your question. Although each processor has it's specialties (what it's particularly good at), across the board, multiply a Pentium processor's speed by .6, to see how fast it is compared to an Athlon/Athlon XP. But, AMD has released about 100 different chips since they made your 1.1 or 1.2 Ghz Athlon, as has Intel. On the absolute newest processors, Intel has FINALLY retaken the lead. So, you multiply the newest AMD chips' speed by .8, to find out how fast it is compared to a Core 2 Duo (the newest Intel processor). Those two numbers will serve you really well, except for the two companies' specialties. AMD's specialty is gaming, and Intel's specialty is video. You have to add or subtract a few .10's, when comparing them at their specialties.
7. 1.15 of AMD is approx equal to 2.2ghz of intel.
