I kinda like it this way, if you want some entertainement, and some fanboys comment, you go visit their blogs, kind nicer than having to endure them on the forum...

Seriously, why do they think people believe their "truth about benchmarks"? Do they feel the need to stand out by being wrong? By being the only sites that say the exact oposite of what TH or AT or any other hardware site is saying?

Well if he was trying to get everyone's attention. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

I guess it's true that there's no such thing as bad publicity.

If you compare processor to processor, than you have to compare its equivalent parts which includes DDR1 or DDR2 in their respective platforms.

If you compare straight up processors, than no a Socket AM2 does not perform above a Socket 939 platform, but if you compare platforms to platforms which is the way they should be compared, than Socket AM2 perform above platform-wise than Socket 939, which is the comparison to be made.

What an idiot! He needs a leg in the booty from the parents and find a job to realize there is more into the life he is wasting so cheap. He should be banned from the internet for his own good.

As long as we dont visit their t3h-treasure-of-t3h-uber-knowledge sites, were not doing what they want (=> were doing the right thing).

you do realize what he wrote there right? He IS correct. But unfortunately atm the cost to compare would be retarded.

As a platform AM2 IS far superior over 939. 939 can only handle DDR1 with its timings basically set in stone right now. No DRAM manufacturer is going to be coming out with anything new in tighter timings for DDR1. That doesn't mean the same for DDR2.

AM2 is capable of allowing greater bandwidth use. This will only become apparent when more manufacturers start to produce low latency DDR2 modules and at a cost comparision to DDR1 modules.

What he is saying in that blog is that atm 939 looks to be not much worse than AM2, but once we start to see DDR2-1066 with tight timings, the AM2 platform will have a much richer picture.

You also have to know that atm we aren't seeing people pushing the AM2 in overclocking which would allow for high RAM speeds. There are some instances where ram alone attributes to 20% speed increase in some games on a similar system setup but with different RAM timings and ratios.

Same can be applied to AM2, hence his conclusion that platform to platform AM2 IS better.

I agree. All of the benchies on the AM2 have been using ddr20667 or slower.
With low latency faster ram their is a performance increase, we have just not seen it tested yet.

perfect example of how bad some benchers can be.

There are so many problems with these tests. they used cas 3 ram on the intel, but used cas 4 on the AMD....the graphs show a completely different story than what they are writing with the min/max FPS in games...they unoptomized SLI for Call of Duty yet left it optomized for the Intel...

I agree Conroe is nice and benches well, but seriously folks, MMM isn't the devil you protray him to be. He might be overzealous, but see through the lies that Intel fanboys are producing....including Toms unfortunately.
