I don't care for the new Table of Contents. I much preferred being able to scan all the page titles at a glance without a pull-down menu. I realize this may be off-topic but I wanted to get it out before all the fanboys on both sides crash the forum.
Is my browser not loading the pages correctly? I see no benchmarks of an AMD system in that article at all.
Who wrote this crap?
First, I am not a fanboy.
That being said, I do not understand why Intel is making such a fuss about being better than a 2 year old processor, unless they know AMD is about to crush them, and they are making the best of a bad situation.
Seems like whenever Intel talks about it's new processors, it also talks about AMD, isn't that a marketing no-no?
In the old days, Intel would market it's chips based on what they could do. This is the first time I recall them marketing their chips based on what AMD could do.
Look at the 1987 Mustang GT. It was a phenominal success, yet was based on the fox platform. It had Pinto rear drum brakes FFS, but every other car on the road was a Mustang. I bought an '88 GT Loaded. Best bang for the buck, but old designs, mixed in with some new. Total POS though, quality wise.

The only line in this article you need to read is the conclusion which says:
However, we do not see Woodcrest knocking out AMD, since the HyperTransport architecture remains the best choice for 4P solutions thanks to its point-to-point layout and dedicated memory controller per processor.
Excuse me? QUAD Channel DDR and it only can give 5700 MB/s??
This has something to do with buffering?? :?

This is beside the topic.
But why does everyone call Americans "Yanks"? (just want to know)
