At what? The Intel chip will keep you warmer on cold winter nights.
For those situations where dual core is better, an A64 X2 is best. For those situations where single threaded IPC counts (gaming esp) the A64s are king.

Ouch, thats harsh...

I think i would say it has a place though.


If it weren't for fat and/or ugly people then the rest of us wouldn't look so good.

Without the Pentium D the X2 and A64 wouldn't look so good.
