Recent intel/AMD study

[gman01]

A recent university double blind intel/AMD study shows(i lost the link):

intel people:
(1) are cat people
(2) more likely to buy a hummer
(3) ask how much horse power a car has
(4) have fans like action man

AMD people:
(1) are dog people
(2) more likely to buy a hybrid
(3) ask how much torque a car has
(4) don't have fans like action man

After thinking about it awhile - I think they are right....

Pretty good...but a better representation of AMD #4 might be "Have fans like MMM, Shooukibooboo and Baronmatrix".

Just a thought. :lol:

yep thats me an intel fan but i also care about torque.

 

[Doughbuy]

I'm a cat person, but I don't like Hummers. The more efficent car, the better. However, thats totally reversed computer wise...

Maybe I just have a twisted way of thinking.

 

[lcdguy]

1. I'm a cat person
2. i am an AMD person (i hate intel)

SO guess i am from a little from column A a little from Column B

The problem with that is that I'm my biggest fan and no one else's.

Im an AMD proponent but action man loves me

Ummm neither is correct. Why do I say this?

Because to claim that AMD people care more about performance (hence asking what the Torque in the car is at) is ludicrous. It's the same for Intel fans.

Intel/AMD fans are more likely to ignore the performance, ignore the facts and buy their preferred companies product out of sheer blind loyalty.

Those who care about Horse Power and Torque are currently buying C2D's, and if K8L is faster they'll be buying those at that time. Those people are like me.

I thought they were intimating that AMD people know torque is what really matters when it comes to speed - not horsepower? I do think intel people seem to care more about how many Ghz a processor is(horsepower), instead of how fast it really is(torque).... I see people on this forum criticizing AMD becasue they never got close to 4Ghz like intel has.... Ofcourse they all jumped ship on that idea, when conroe emerged which was more technology driven, then Ghz driven(like AMD)....

That is just my guess on what the study means....

They should of made it triple blind:
I am more of a IBM PPC fan
(1) ferret and skunk person
(2) likely to buy what ever looks good regardless of performance
(3) ask if it comes with 20's
(4) I am my own fan

But i got to say i am more likely to buy intel cause 1. i dont know better 2. I am a firm supporter of "the man" 3. Am against the anit-monopoly laws

 

[gman01]

shame on you starting a flame war like this,hope you enjoy all the bs that this post will attract :twisted:

It seems to be a friendly enjoyable discussion so far.... Maybe you should complain to the university?

That was actually quite funny. Thanks for the levity.

You are wrong there. Both Torque and HP matter when it comes to speed.. not just torque:

By your thinking, than that 18-wheeler parked outside my office can beat the pants off of any car out there.

http://www.freightlinertrucks.com/trucks/featured-components/engines.aspx

So since torque = speed, these 18-wheeler engines has around 1500ft-lb of torque. GG Porche, Ferrari, and Bugatti. Can't even come close to an 18-wheeler...

Bugatti Veyron maxes out at 1k ft-lb:

Just trying to clear up some misconceptions here.

I dont think with "Intel people" or "AMD people", he meant fans or fanboys.
Otherwise, what would mean the 4th point, "they have/dont have fans like Actionman"?
So he's probably talkin about the guys which work at AMD and Intel.
Concerning the Hummer, i'd more of say:
Fat ass american people -> more likely to buy a Hummer.
:lol: :lol:

 

[Pippero]

Yeah, diesel engines always have way more torque than comparable gasoline engines.
But i dont think here we should relate torque with speed, which is of course wrong, but with power efficiency.
High torque, especially on a wide range of RPM, with a flat torque curve, is highly desirable if you wanna have low fuel consumption.

What about those console platform people? :lol: :lol:

here you go again trying to tell people what they should buy. I tell you what if you can get an X2 or Core 2 to run at 100% CPU for an extended period then speed will matter but if most people spend most of their time at 30% CPU usage, then there is no difference between X2 and Core 2 since the eye can't tell the difference between 70fps and 80fps and I doubt if anyone buys a PC to run SuperPi or encode DVDs to the HDD (I mean, if you have a 45" TV and a 19" monitor....).

Anyway, why i buy AMD is my business just as why you buy Intel. That is the beauty of democracy. You are free to choose. I would even recommend NetBust if it wasn't so hot. It will run Windows.

Also what you buy is one thing but I have recommended Core 2 to people who were interested in it.

There was recent thread where Intel buyers told a person interested in AMD he was a fool. Right, I guess HP, Sun, Dell, Rackable Sysytems, etc have a majority of fools for customers.

I mean MS is STILL USING HP 585 to build Windows and it's still many times faster than Xeon systems.

Let peole buy what they want if it suits their needs. Not everyone cares how fast SuperPi runs or whether they break 150fps. They do care about platform price and overall value which is where AMD is still leading. Even Dell has less expensive AMD systems than Intel ones.

If you have 2 identical cars but:

car A has 200HP with 200Torque
car B has 150HP with 225Torque

Isn't car B faster, but car A is better for towing?

 

[gman01]

Baron - I guess you are a dog person, and more likely to buy a hybrid than a hummer - like me....

 

[Pippero]

No, it's the opposite.
Or rather: the car with the maximum highest power (car A) will be the fastest; the car with the highest torque would have it easier to tow at low RPM, but with the right gear, the car with the highest power would be again better for towing.

They are like extras in a movie.... They are there, but don't really matter....

 

[muffin]

Hmm...let's see:
1 I have 2 AMD computers and an Intel
2 I belong to the Eagle clan (I'm native)
3 I don't need a hummer...my 1980 olds is waaay more reliable, indestructable and easier to maintain...lol (too many hummers crap out in water) Not sure where my International Harvester Scout fits in.
4 I used to have fans, but found them to be rather obsessive so I told 'em to get a brain - well I used more colorful language...but you get the idea.

Perhaps aliens replaced me with an exact replica? Either that or I'm just having too much fun being "difficult to categorize". Glad I'm a minority in yet another study!

Eh, thats what I thought when I first saw the post, but I decided to go along with the flow. If you let little things like this shock you, you won't have long to live in the world...
