Video: Are Intel Core CPUs Better than this Robot?
...but can you overclock it?
Ah yes, the Super Bowl. Even if you're not a fan of the sport, the television commercials are (sometimes) reason enough to tune into the biggest U.S. sporting event of the year.
Intel forked out at least $2.5 million to air a commercial to draw attention to the company's mainstreaming of its Nehalem technology – now ready for the mass market at 32nm.

Which would you prefer to take home – the latest Core i7 or that robot?

the core i7.
I doubt the robot has HDMI ports.

...and an i7 does?
I think that robot was just depressed because it uses an AMD processor
Considering the robot was a hallucination induced by the corporate kool-aid they were all drinking, I'd have to go with the i7... but then again, that kool-aid might be pretty cool.
(Hey Bender, wanna go kill some humans?...)
there both better than that lousy halftime performance
I take the reliable i7 over a sentimental robot anytime.

Agreed. And before we know it... robots will take over teh world!

a least with some ethical manners, not with monopolistic and questionable business practices..
I don't know anything about the robot but the new "i" processors are awesome. The thing I like about them is that their turbo mode brings power to the masses that was previously only available to overclocking hobbyists. Of course you can still get a little more by overclocking but for most people there is no longer a reason to do it. I've built 2 machines for my company with the i5 and they run faster than my overclocked Q9400 and overclocked E8500.
ill take the robot and a AMD APU to go along with it
It's weird that they have video of the moment Skynet was born. Forget women, scorned robots are hell on Earth.

The Who was great and the lighting was fantastic. Suck it.
I liked the commercial...

Why not just run in "turbo" mode all the time?

If those robots are coming from Intel, I doubt it!

yeah, just go listen to your precious kanye west and leave us alone.
Core i7 or the robot.....Does the robot make sandwiches?
It will also make coffee! I don't see an i7 doing that for me
im sorry for my ignorance, but i didnt get it..... are they saying that there are far better things than the i7? or that they are already making a new cpu and will take you by surprice when you buy this cpu?
It will also make coffee! I don't see an i7 doing that for me
and now the i7 is too cool to cook anything... not like the old P4... anybody still remember the clip that somebody cook an egg with his P4..
lol
Man intel can't even be nice to thier own inventions... don't worry Jeffery I still think your cool.
...and an i7 does?
Brilliant!
To state the obvious, no input/output ports on a robot. Therefore not much use to me.

There are input ports on this robot...

I wonder what processor the robot has in it.
a robot that has emotions? I'm sure if i get one of them, they'll build a processor for me that's much faster than an i7
I have to say that although 'The Who' are a legendary band, they really are past their prime. The lighting and special effects of the half time show were awesome but it all belied the mediocraty of the performance. If a new, modern band performed like that they would get slaughtered and never release a second album.
As for the add... I like the robot, I would love to have the range of 'Core i' processors... IT geeks aren't supposed to have social skills and is it just me or does the guy talking remind anyone else of Steve Ballmer's antics on stage?
Why not just run in "turbo" mode all the time?
Because nobody needs it at max power at all times?
Because electricity is not free?
Because generating electricity has other consequences?
IDK, pick your flavor...
If the robot is instead replaced by the Gundam @ Odaiba, then I will gladly take the robot anytime.
The i7 would be nice, but a Robot with a fleshlight attachment might suit my needs better....
...if the robot plays 'Crysis' I'll take one...

HAHAHAHA! I almost fell off my chair after watching that link. +1 to you Sir.
Elmo if the robot plays crysis... That just means you won't be able to. YOu know robots their stingy.
