Hi,
I was thinking how well a P4 latest generation like the 661 on Socket 775 would fight against the latest (?) native single core cpu like the G470 on 1155?
Thank

It wouldn't.
Even with HT, 2GHz Sandy B. will leave a Pentium 4 3,6GHz in dust.
Not to mention, lower temps, power consumption, and better upgrade capabilities in future.

Thank! Maybe I had too many expectations from this P4 I'm trying lately that still impress me how well it can run.

P4 needs more than twice the clock rate to match a Core 2. For Sandy Bridge it would need a lot more. Plus it has SSSE3 and SSE4. You'd probably need a heavily overclocked P-D.

Look at this:

The P-EE 965 doesn't even do too badly there.

Here is a review that contains numbers for the P-EE 955. Especially interesting the comparison to a Core i5-670.
