lmao powerpc and arm...no nvidia?




lol i know i just put powerpc because of their presence in mac for a while. and i put arm because of their mobile processors.

Where is Loongson?


I don't think we can count Loongson since it is a Chinese only CPU made because the Chinese cannot get current gen CPUs. When IB is out I think they will be able to get Nehalem or something.

Plus its x86 emulation, much like IA-64 (Itanium).

Useless thread, not worthy of Tom's. Mods need to close it before the fanboys get here.


I think we can let it go. I will watch it but if it does turn into a flame-a-thon I will close it.

Still not seeing any votes for PowerPC or ARM yet.

BTW, a vote for ARM is technically a vote for nVidia since nVidias CPUs are ARM based, like Samsungs and Qualcomms.

AMD>INTEL
AMD offers more cores!


And Intel performs better; except for some highly multi-threaded applications like POV-Ray, video encoding using H.264 codec, and 3D Max.

SO IT BEGINS!

Hah. Or are you serial?

Sitll more cores does not equal better. Most apps barely use 4 cores let alone 8. Thats why I went with a 2500K instead of a 2600K.

Still, one vote for PowerPC.....

Umm...where be SPARC?


He must not know. Then again SPARC is in a niche market, unlike x86, PowerPC (has been in DT, consoles etc) or ARM (mainly smartphones but still has been in many places).

This question is worded poorly. "Which is the best processor maker company" is not the same as "which company makes the best processor". The latter one is easy to answer - Intel. The first one is vague to say the least. How do you measure it?

Yeah I was tempted to put powerpc myself because my old imac g3 graphite still cranks after 12 years, I love those old powerpc macs, but I had to go intel, its all I'll buy now, even my first intel which was a pentium 4 prescott 3.4ghz which I still use now, plays mod warfare 1 and doom3 awesome with a 6670 radeon and 2 gb of ram

Lets start a war, here is the deal :
I am a amd fan boy, but i hate it when people think arm is good.
I will vote for x86.
x86 is awesome.
It is the future.
ARM has no place here, ARM is so fragmented, they have quad cores which are slow as hell.
ARM needs to be destroyed.

Its also the best architecture out of everything listed.

Even in some highly threaded software a Core I5 2500K out performs AMDs FX 8120/8150, the more cores just doesn't work when they're so weak. Most 3DS Max benches show I5 doing better for example, Blender too.

I voted Intel although all 3 of my current PCs have AMD chips, I felt Phenom II was competitive on price until Sandy Bridge came out. Intel clearly has the better architecture and superior manufacturing capabilities, AMD would be SOL if Intel ever decided to make an affordable 6 core part.

ARM is slow now because they're working in the under 10W range. We need ARM as it's the only viable alternative since AMD has dropped the ball.

My comment regarding POV-Ray, video encoding using H.264 codec, and 3D Max are based on the following benchmarks between the Core i5-2500k and FX-8150 from Anandtech.

http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/288?vs=434

I think there are a couple more apps that the FX-8150 performs better than the Core i5-2500k, but I didn't bother listing them because I don't really care.

Intel because mac uses them and macs are better than everything. I don't really know why but that's what the "get a mac" commercials said so I'm going to do my un-educated apple user part and just go with it ... LOL

intel is the only company up there that makes the cpus. ARM is just a design and AMD doesn't have fabs. PowerPC isn't even a company, its just IBM's cpu design, IBM being the company that actually makes them.

So intel has to win by default.
