Hi all, here is my view on the Intel vs. AMD debate. It's a commonly known fact that: 1-AMD procs are clock cycle per clock, more efficient than the P4's. But, the P4's just sheer out-muscle them. AMD now states that Sysmark 2002 is in favor of the P4 (stating a bias towards that proc) but in reality, it's the FSU that the benchmark is tuned more towards. Now that AMD joined the Bapco consortium (maker of Sysmark 2002) it stated that it will help make the next version of that widely used test more "even". I hope that AMD finally gets tougher in their engineering and finally make a proc that can equal the P4 exactly, not the misleading "2800+" they like to push around, which in reality in NOT equivalent to the P4's 2.8 , though it is very close. Just my two cents everyone. Ask any mechanic and he'll say "There's no substitute for cubic inches".

You must be referring to mechanics from the 50's. Nowadays it's more challenging to get more horsepower out of smaller more efficent engines.
