Intel Pentium 4 2.53GHz

$1200

Price at time of review.

CPU

User Rating:

Intel keeps on cranking out the hertz, and with 133MHz increments with each processor release, its no wonder that AMD is being left in the dust. The Athlon may have better overclocking capabilities and value for money, but the Pentium 4 wins hands-down for sheer brute power.
