Hmm.....I use an Intel and an AMD....does that make me only half stupid? :lol:

(I also use an ATI and an Nvidia....hmmm.....)

 

[notherdude]

All those smart enthusiasts who bought AMD last few years are of course switching to C2d. Check again in a few years and the roles will be reversed.

hahahaha, now obviously there is a strong correlation but its not that intel processors cause this...... its just that more people use intel than AMD because intel advertises up the butt and AMD does not advertise all that much.... So you could ask an average everyday user who AMD is and they wouldnt be able to tell you..... but they would be able to tell you about intel because of the insane in your face advertising.

Sad but true. Working retail, I can vouch for that article. Here's some classic Intel "knowledge" I heard from customers:

"Isn't the Celeron faster than an Athlon?"

"All I want in my system is a 3.6Ghz Pentium 4." "What are you planning on doing with the system?" "Checking my email, that's it!"

"Is it true Windows won't run on AMD chips?"

"Office XP won't run on AMD, so I don't wan it!"

"This Athlon you sold me is no faster online than my old Pentium 3!" "Sir, the problem is you're on dial-up, which is the factor on how fast you can go online." "Well, AOL told me it's because their software doesn't support AMD!"

For everyone who reads this article, DO KEEP IN MIND it was a survey done with the average computer user, such as Grandma Jones, not ubergeeky Joes such as ourselves.

There has always been an underdog element in tech supported by intelligent but less than well adjusted people. Most AMD fanboys are nothing more than vents for their own lifes frustrations; and unite with a company who has historically been just as whiny.

Your location suggests that you are nothing more than a vent for your life's frustrations.

I think we should make one thing clear; People who switch from AMD to Intel and vice versa seeking performance or value are the real intelligent users The ones who kept buying Netburst crap for twice as much as an A64; those are Intel ZOMBIES :lol:

Bloody true man; I had an Intel-oriented vendor telling me these things last week; I saw all dark and almost hit him before regaining control of myself and politely telling him that he was an idiot

 

[m25]

if they were zombies, would that make it legal for me to take a double barrel shotgun and go zombie hunting for the good of mankind?

Don't think, but of course, that would be nice for the good of AMD :lol:
Everybody knows they're lagging behind now but in the old K8 days,... man, I just can not believe how much money they have lost from these people who wanted "a Pentium4", dead or alive, like a newborn reaching for his mother's tits, that was the onlt CPU neme they knew; blind instinct, blah

 

[NMDante]

Well, this *fact filled* survey has one phD (at least he claims he is) defending it...Mr. Shakirou himself.

That alone should give it credibility.... LOL

Is that who runs maxit??? I was going to apply for a blog job 8O :lol: :lol: OOPs what a bad pun.

Nah, the pretender does not run maxit, but he's spouting about it in his blog.

He's running out of material to make up about Intel being evil incarnate.

 

[NMDante]

So how does it feel bieng so stupid? :lol: :lol: :roll: (joking)

It is simply incredible that this crap gets out there,So much great info comes from Intel enthusiasts ,who wont blink an eye to own AMD if its better.

I think this article borders on slander. :roll:

Being stupid rocks! I can blame my stupidity for every mistake I make at work, with people, everything. LOL :lol:

Ah, it doesn't border on slander, but without any links to the actual research done, it's just dumb.

 

[MU_Engineer]

I wonder what the study would have said for Linux, BSD, Mac, and Windows users?

 

[Grimmy]

Well, at least intel users can't break pins off the CPU on a 775 package. :?

Gee.. wonder how smart I'd be using an AMD system in a holiday-inn? :lol:

 

[TechnologyCoordinator]

There's a great percentage of home-built AMD machines than Intel machines. Corporate America is run by Intel.

So, while it may be true that AMD users have more computer smarts it's actually a good thing for Intel. AMD envies that Intel runs America, and not AMD.

PS - Don't post this flamebate crap.

 

[gOJDO]

So far, this is the best topic for flaming, this year. 8)

 

[djgandy]

Sad that someone had time to write that

 

[pongrules]

And if you believe this study, you are an idiot regardless of what processor you use. The article doesn't even list who did the survey.

But, if you do believe the "study" then let me qualify that I'm a drooling nincompoop with a blazing system that will crush the living daylights out of any AMD system you can build right now. Ignorance is bliss.

 

[ZOldDude]

I never went to Univ yet have an IQ of 125 when tested two years ago.....for all the good it does becuase at my age I can't remember where I layed my eyeglass.

 

[runswindows95]

I wonder what the study would have said for Linux, BSD, Mac, and Windows users?

Now that's a flame war right there!

By the way, ZOldDude, LOL!

 

[LAN_deRf_HA]

Age doesn't matter, I scored higher on an IQ test when I was 8 than I do now.

 

[bfellow]

Researchers today have found that 78% of the world is covered in water and that the Earth is not flat.

 

[pongrules]

Drink more alcohol. Since studies have shown that brain cells do, in fact, regenerate (albeit slower as we age) it makes sense to kill all the old ones and make room for the new ones.

 

[pongrules]

No shiznit? Well I'll be darned. I think that raised my IQ at least two points.

Any website with "Keira Knightley Wins Wet Tshirt Contest" as a headline is surely reputable! :lol:
