AMD claims Intel PC the fastest ever!

[wolverinero79]

Just something funny....look at the computer that AMD/ATI's site is labeled as the '"Best Gaming PC" 2006'.

he he

I guess those in charge of the merge haven't quite caught on yet.

Haha, been posted before, but thanks anyways. Always nice for a laugh.

 

[danny9894]

Intel needs to show some love towards AMD too

 

[tool_462]

It's funny that not only is there an X6800 as the CPU, but they are using the XBX as the mobo and not an ATI chipset crossfire.

 

[JBS181818]

yea thats about a week old but still funny. they'll get rid of all that soon enough. they still have to endorse crossfire on intel for now since its making them money. obviously, they don't need to call it the fastest computer...

 

[MU_Engineer]

I don't think that's going to happen as Intel's "ihateamd" password debacle at a trade show demonstrated.

 

[Frozen_Fallout]

At least we know that AMD isn't in denial!

 

[MU_Engineer]

Not quite, but they would love to stuff them into a small box in the market that's just big enough to keep the DOJ off of their back- kind of like how MSFT funded Apple in the late 1990s. It was a major embarrassment to Intel that AMD set the x86 ISA for the next 15 years and to add injury to insult, they also went from 0% server market share in 2000 to nearly a quarter today, making Intel's extremely expensive Itanium development basically a dud.

Hey, thats actually not a bad idea... only problem is slave trade is kind of outdated... must be better uses for their kids...

Maybe keep them to work as janitors, or mow Intel's nice green lawns (or maybe they have blue lawns...)

There's 2 funny things there. Firstly they're using an Intel CPU, secondly they're using an Intel mainboard.

Some people....I despair!

i for one think its a great thing that amd can allow this ad,i think its very mature of them and it shows they are confident in future designs.

amd wins the bigger man award of the decade,intel wins the" whiner soiled diaper award "of the millinea :twisted:

Good points there! Takes a big man to admit you're wrong.

It's similar to the Scenario when MMM admitted in his blog that he had been wrong about C2D and that it really is a great architecture. I was very impressed by him when i read that, considering how adamant he had been that AM2 would kick the crap outta C2D.

 

[dean7]

Hah... I really hope BaronMatrix doesn't get ahold of this.

Anyway, at least AMD is being honest with it's customers

 

[Talon]

Yep a week old but still makes me smile

 

[dean7]

Err what? No, Intel said all along that clock speed didn't matter! :lol:

 

[quantumsheep]

Err what? No, Intel said all along that clock speed didn't matter! :lol:

I actually have a picture on my computer of the Intel CEO kneeling down and apologising because Netburst didn't reach 4ghz.

Anyone know how i can upload photos?

 

[quantumsheep]

Err what? No, Intel said all along that clock speed didn't matter! :lol:

well ,prescott debuted as a cpu slash burner plate for those who like to cook as they game,so it worked out well :twisted: i almost got one to use as a coffee warmer/floor heater. aww who cares that the tdp was well above what intel said it would be,and performance was well below what they said,its only hype :twisted:

Northwood was a much better use of Netburst than Prescott. Imagine Northwood P4s on 65nm with 2mb L2 cache, i think they'd be very impressive. Especially considering mine (2.8 400FSB) runs perfectly fine at 3.6ghz on the stock cooler!

Notice the smirk the guy in the seat has.

[dean7]

He SHOULD be kneeling down and apologizing for all of the Netburst CPUs that he sold while the Netburst reign of terror was in play!

 

[quantumsheep]

wasnt netburst said to scale to 10ghz?

Was intended (notice that word, intended) to reach 10ghz. But Intel came across many problems, such as heat leakage.

Netburst only started to appear bad when K8 was released, the Northwood owned the K7.

True. But it's annoying that Intel brainwashed everybody in the user community to think that MHz = speed.

 

[dean7]

they were selling hype i wonder if Amd werent as savvy as they are if intel would mislead its consumer base for a buck :roll:
that makes intel the slimy schemer of the bunch;thank gawd for amd or wed be taking it up the azz like stupid sheep.

intel wins the sociopathic marketing award of the century as well as the soiled diaper award of the millenia. :twisted:

I agree with you, but if I were going to buy a CPU right now I'd still buy Intel (for the 1st time in the past 8 years). The C2D seems to be a sign that they are changing the way they do things. It's exactly contrary to Netburst philosophy.

We're lucky AMD and Intel are battling it out, because it keeps both of them honest (e.g. K8 = wakeup call for Intel as much as C2D = wakeup call for AMD).

 

[Doughbuy]

I'm kinda sad though, I liked being able to brag about my netburst computer...

My CPU generates more heat per cm^2 than the sun... you think you contribute to global warming... wait until I take my side panel off =P
