And still intel lovers (especially on this site) will say Intel is the best, while the A64 is a technical supreme chip the A64 is crap, this forum you gotta love !
I don't think that wattage is of any importance whatsoever. I do not pay attention to a processor's wattage, because it is completely irrelevant as long as the processor itself is at reasonable temperatures. And even then, I don't care if the processor is at 50C, 80C or even 100 degrees Celsius, as long as the whole computer is not too noisy, performs well and is cheap. That is all. So if Intel ends up with a 500W processor that performs wonderfully, needs water cooling and is not too expensive, then kudos for them! I don't care. Processor wattage in itself is not proof of a technically superior chip. And even so, I'd buy a processor because it's adequate for my needs, and not because it's superior to whatever other tech.
Either way, for those of you who read with passion, I'm not saying Intel "is the best". In my opinion, any declaration based on passion, like "AMD rocks", "Intel is the Best", or so, has to be considered with a grain - or maybe a lot of grains - of salt...
Given that, because Scotty is a bit of a wildcard right now, I don't really care about any rumors... I'm just waiting if Intel will manage to get a product out that is as admirable as A64 is! For our sake.
