Ok on another forum i found this link... and i was shocked. Can anyone prove or disprove what he is saying?

*edit- i deleted the copy and paste version because it doesnt display correctly. So unfortunately your going to have to copy it into your browser but trust me its worth it


I am sorry i just had to post this

*anyways whats your take on it?

sounds like a bunch of fanboys getting worked up.

Prove/Disprove What?
There are really any facts claimed so they would be hard to dispute.

Never argue with an idiot.
Reason will never persuade them.

amd amd amd

advance media deception

The only thing I saw that worth noting is someone claiming Intel having half the performance in 64bit. This is definitely not true, although Intel's macro-fusion capability is disabled in 64bit, leading to less performance gain compared to AMD. However, we're talking about <5%, and it definitely can't offset the 20% performance gain Core 2 enjoyed.

cuz moar cores increases teh clock speed!1!

Most of these people have absolutely no clue what they're talking about.

What the Heck were you shocked about. I think that you ought to check that link again to see if it is the right page, or paste in any text that you believe made a significant point about anything.

I only read about five jackasses down, if there is anyone writing a sensicle thought after that you really need to be more specific.

I don't even know where one would begin with that thread. Hopefully those participating in the iso thread hold no positions in society where someone would have to depend on their decision(s). If they do, may god help us all.

I agree, proving what exactly?

I think we can expect AMD to remain competitive in the server market. Is that what they were proving?

I guess if I saw some real world numbers that drew some kind of comparison...

I can't wait till Nehalem. then we will see the exact same type of CPU vs another. Yes FSB is not as great as HT in server arena but it still keeps up and I am sure Nehalem will change everything.

P U M P E R S ! ! !

ya i joined here in january 07 - mr intel! thats me

i am an intel fan boy for good reason

the 800 sereies and 900 series would produce the ground work for a "fake quad core"

the m-sereis would lay the ground work for new cpu's we call core!

intel technolgy has for years allowed faster clock's

what we got here is 4-5ghz bad boy that is needed not to bottleneck the new gpu's

amd - i lov amd, its just amd needs to make some good chips!


ps: i wrote a few weeks ago intel would bounce up off 18 - ya baby 100%
i also said it would trade in the 18-22 range

as intel reaches 22 one of 2 things will happen

the second leg of the bear market?

or intel breaks out and there is no bear market

you heard it here first! this week, bear or no bear is this week!

I'm a Fanboy of whoever makes the best products.

Several years ago I was posting here and was accused of being an AMD Fanboy as I recommended Athlon 64s over Pentium 4 space heaters.

Today, I'm called an Intel Fanboy because I recommend Intel's practical quad (that performs better), over AMD's problematic and underwhelming quad.

When it comes to dual I think it can go either way in the value to low-midrange.

However, when it comes to overclocking, dual or quad, there's only one way to go, Intel.

When it comes to high-end, both dual and quad, Intel once again has a monopoly in the high-end computer component department.

Some point the finger at me and call me a fanboy for saying the K10 Opteron is a failure, but judging by the fact that it has been stop-shipped and you can't buy it because of a processor defect, I'd have to say I am correct!


The trick is to try to read first, and then come to a conclusion, instead of the other way around. People such as Mr. Matrix had a pre-programmed conclusion and then selectivly choose, ignored, and sometimes even twisted facts to prove their conclusion.


Now I do admit, I have come to expect disappointment from AMD of late, but that's only because they have been consistently delivering disappointment in large quantities, or actually, small quantities because of manufacturing limitations, stop-ships, and low yields.

Oh, and I don't know if I asked this yet:

WHERE THE HELL ARE THE K10 dual-cores!?!?

hahaha oh wow...

you live under a rock during the height of the K8 era?

As far as what the link says it is true.

I just built a few systems this week for people on a budget and they went with "older" AMD stuff.
Can't beat dual cores @ 3Ghz stock for just under/over the $100 USD mark.
