AMD lemmings must be having a field days with Toms recent article, whitch is BS from the first sentace.
Lets bench an "alpha" board against seasoned products, seems fair since the "alpha" board is not due for release for another 6 months. That always makes for good AMD sales.
"The average performance loss of i845/PC133 vs. i850/PC800 is almost 21% and therefore unacceptable. 3D gamers should rather go for the more attractive Athlon-solutions unless they want to spend the big bucks for Pentium 4 plus RDRAM"
On our i845 reference board, we are getting 15~25% increase across the board w/RDRAM over wilmette. no clue why Tom is slamming a "alpha" board must be sheer profesionalism. Tom doesnt want you to know that you can buy a P4 w/Geforce3 for under a grand now. seems $1000 is far beyond acceptable price for high end system that beats AMD in everything except office performance.
On all your tests it shows P4 beating the crap out of the AMD, except for office performance... now read what I just quoted and think to yourself "WTF would a gamer base his buying decision on AMD wining at office performance?"
WTG Tom, next time think about what your posting before you click the save button. but then again your a loser and we cannot expect anything non biased from you anyway.
This is Toms usual style to bash Intel in every sentance. you have to get to page 3 before he even gets done ranting, what a [-peep-] loser. Nice to see that you fear SSE2 when you mention that "hand coded" part. it owns you.
It is true that CPUIDZ does not report northwood correctly.
Too bad you lemmings live on what tom spews.
Good analogy, what was the first release date of 760MP? now go back 6 more months and imagine where the 760MP was at indevelopment. "white papers" or "actual product to be benched against seasoned technology?" truth is AMD 760MP was still on paper 6 months before first release date. now go take that piece of paper and bench it agaist cyrix or something intelligent.
