OCWorkbench have a AMD Barton XP3000+ (400) vs Intel Pentium 4 3.0G (800) comparison article completed, a very interesting read for the next series of CPUs.

It would be really exciting to see how well the 3Ghz processors performs in benchmarks especially the Barton 400 which actually clocks at 2.1Ghz but rated at 3000+. The processor is run on a EPoX 8RDA3+ nForce2 C1 stepping board with 2 x 256M Corsair RAM. The Pentium 4 3.0G (800) is tested on various Canterwood boards from ASUS, Gigabyte and AOPEN.

YUK! Those have to be some of the most unclear benchmarks I've ever seen in my life. Really quite horrible considering I normally just quickly browse through articles like these. You almost get the feeling they're doing a motherboard review deep down, and not that of a processor.
 
Yup, OCW often benchmark like that :crazy: - the reviews don't look too nice, but they know their stuff :)
