ya u go mate! my x2 4000 is at 3.28ghz, my cpu score is equal to intel's x6800 which really burns a hole in ya pocket. hehhehehhee and i got a volt modded x1950 pro im owning up crisis!!! go AMD!!!

LOL!!!!!
no wonder I'm freezing my @$$ off in my room... because I'm only using an overclocked Q6600...
Maybe I should get a pair of FX-74... do more per clock cycle

my chipset for my gigabyte m57sli-s4 gets mighty hot though... feels around 70.c BURN! on a cold day i can push my x2 4000 up to 3.33ghz the hot chipset is letting me down lolz
1) More efficient: Intel chips don't warm the room up as much as Athlons (saw that somewhere)
2) Better performance
3) Quad is cheap (6600)
4) Easily overclockable, even with stock heatsink/fan
5) The king AMD is dead. Long live the king Intel! (very british, I know) 6) Most of everybody here recommand an Intel.
I am not a fan boy. I must admit AMD use to be the best but now they are lagging and look tired. Never had an AMD but used to recommand it to my friends. Look the same story with ATI vs NVidia.
There is something to be said for AMD x2 CPUs compared to C2D's. It is typically cheaper to get a AMD x2 CPU and AM2 Mobo, than a similarly performing C2D and 775 Mobo... Note: This is at stock speeds. So this only applies if you do not OC your CPU, which is actually a lot of people.
Now, when you begin overclocking those same CPUs, the C2D is outperforming the AMD by a large margin, removing any added value to buying a cheaper CPU.

More per clock cycle then the Pentium 4 yes thats why the P4 was clocked so high, and thats why Intel released the C2D so that is no longer valid....

Socket A came out in 2000 correct me if I'm wrong, Socket 754 in 2003, Socket 939 was 2004, Socket AM2 in 2006. 478 Came about 2001 I think and Socket T in 2004 or 2005....
6 Intel supplies chips used in a mass market games console designed by Microsoft
I don't believe Intel does anymore, they supply the Xbox 1 chip. But ATI does which is owned by AMD.... ATI supplies GPUs for the PS2, Xbox 360, and Wii.
7 It's not as exclusive as AMD
First of all how is that good? Second that doesn't even make since. AMD tries to sell products to everyone, howe is that exclusive.
Clearly - The community's capacity for humor has been exceeded.
--------------- The more I read the forums, the more I feel that a number of individuals would be well served by skipping their next GPU purchase in favor of a little "Stress relief" from the local 'Working Girls'"

PPL don't get it, because they don't know their history. Athlon and RDRAM are very OLD products now. At one point in history, all of the above list was TRUE. Little sad noone got it.
Hey, What you just few peoples are talking about? AMD will never get success in making a true Processor that will attract the world. These 95% peoples are absolutely correct that “Intel is and will remain the performance king. What AMD has done, Forced Intel to get competitive technologically, OR Forced it to keep the prices low for its Dual and Quad Core CPU’s . What AMD possesses as compared to Intel: (i) Large number of fabrication sites? (ii) A good brand image through out the world? (iii) Large number of OEM purchasers? But Sorry, Will you Intel people remember “What was the price of a Pentium 4 2.4 GHz CPU 3-4 years before? Just same what we are giving Intel for its latest Quad-Core CPU now. How can this be? Is Intel thinking about those 30% middle-class fellows, so that they can benefit with the advantage of latest processors. Surely not, As like any other business Intel is there to earn profit and not to benefit the poor. Well, I am not a tech-champ But I would surely like to make a point as a general computer user, “Yes, Intel will win this performance battle and AMD once again will have to go in the past and make RAM’s and other things for PC’s running on Intel Processors. Then I will congratulate all of you who praised Intel and made it the one and only CPU supplier for the whole world. But after that do you know what we at this forum will be talking about, Nothing but the Increasing Prices of CPU’s Day after day. Any of you are familiar with the history of India. There were a large number Indian kings like you here who praised Britishers and made them stronger and stronger, They handed their kingdom’s to them and gained a title as “Sir”, “Jagirdar” etc. But what happened next is known to the whole world. Well, I don’t say AMD or Intel is best, But, can we as a single PC user can’t purchase an AMD processor and help that small company to survive and compete with a big Giant. How fast is today’s Intel’s Pernyn then AMD’s Phenom 15-20%, And How much big is Intel as compared to AMD 4-5 times. Well that’s a shameful to all of us what we are comparing. Is it good for all of us to stick on a single company and help making a monopolistic market. Just be true and ask your-self what will be the CPU market without AMD. Well, I will praise AMD for the time until it is next-equivalent to Intel and than I will say “Intel Is Best”.
