XP Vs MP: Any Difference?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

GamePC has written up a comparison between the Athlon XP and MP. Since AMD released the XP, some have enabled a SMP setup (much like the unlocking article I posted on yesterday) via the small bridges on top of the chip. Is there any advantage to a MP? GamePC thinks not:
So there you have it. The performance between the Athlon XP and MP CPU's are pretty much the same, give or take a few percentage points here and there. Both chips were perfectly stable with the Tyan Tiger MP motherboard, and both systems perform fantastically well.
You know a surefire way to tell if the processors are the same? Run one of each of them in the same motherboard. That's right, one Athlon XP, one Athlon MP. Surprise, surprise, it works perfectly! Not only that, but it performs just as well as the dual XP/dual MP platforms.
Check out GamePC's test here.

Well you can't really blame them. It's far more efficient to run all the processors at the same fab line than to have seperate ones for each processor.
