Iridium Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Whats the difference, AMD beats intel on occasion and visa versa it just happens to be Intels turn to waste dispose AMD for a while. The war is alway turning and thank god for that it just pushes technological breakthroughs. To be quite honest faithfuls are idiots the only thing that makes me a little more AMD sided is that they have not commited to DRM.

fr8t Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 WEll as we all know mhz isnt everything now is it? Pertaining to Intel's next gen. cpu.. I believe it will now with Intels next gen. So the consumer doesn't get confused and/or deluded into thinking that a p4 3.4@4.2ghz(pressly) is faster than a amd64 x2 2.2@2.8ghz, for example... no personal attacks intended.

lizard.boy Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 well i'm an amd fanboy, so ignore my remarks if you want. but i'm glad intel is getting ahead, because it will force amd to compete more, creating better chips for us fanboys :) and our buddies who get stuck with dell's will have some decent power now. now if only intel would either drop their extream 2 graphics or improve them i might actually respect the company.

gwai lo Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I'd like to see that up against an Opteron. uh...FX-60 doesn't ring a bell at all? You know...AMD's flagship processor in the desktop arena... Let me finish the sentence... "Intel beats AMD with new CPU... THAT WON'T BE OUT TILL AT LEAST 3RD QUARTER" Well, since you evidently have insider sources, what's AMD releasing before 3rd Quarter that we don't already know about. Is there a secret core on the roadmap, invisible to everyone except special people?

gwai lo Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Sarcasm... ;) That was directed towards the "that won't be out till 3rd quarter" part because as far as everyone knows, AMD doesn't have anything big planned till then. End of this year, yes...but if the Conroe comes out like it looks now, Intel WILL have the performance crown for a bit.

Shannon Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 And AMD's next chip will be faster than this. And then Intel will release another chip faster than that one. And so on... That's how the industry works no?

wutang01 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Rather than focusing on clock speeds, what's the Conroe's wordlength though?

gwai lo Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Pipeline length you mean? It's 14, Athlon 64 is 17, Pentium 4 Northwoods were at 24 I think, and Pentium 4 Prescotts were at 31. ..and yes that's how the industry has always worked. Processors don't shift as fast as video cards, but it's the same idea. Video card performance crowns are changed every couple months and processor achitectures are released every couple years. Same thing as Nvidia and ATI, just on a bigger scale. I don't see why new architecture releases take everyone by surprise.

Konstanov Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 How about when AMD release its multi-core processors next year. Try AMD's next 3-4 core processor against this. These are dual core processors on games that don't take advantage of them anyway.

gwai lo Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Technically, 3-4 core processors won't take advantage of single threaded games either... Also, you do realize that Intel isn't going to be staying with two cores for all that long..Kentsfield/Clovertown anyone?

Mprime Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Personally, I don't care how fast Intel make their CPU's, and neither do am I concerned about future Amd cpu's. Although I'm a fan of Amd64. All I care about is that my current systems are faster than I could want or need. I'm happy.

pyehac Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 A bit late for intel to lure me back. I'll soon be moving to AMD after being an avid Intel fanboy for about four years. Time to move on. Maybe when the prices drop once again, then I'll go back, but they'll have to beat AMD a few times just like what they did.

Jexel Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 INTEL dominated the market for a significant number of years..AMD took over and I think INTEL is finally fighting back. I can't understand why people seem to HATE INTEL for anything, they're a respecteable company who hasn't done anything wrong. For me, I'll be buying whatever is best in the market regardless of INTEL or AMD. It's stupid to buy something or not buy something simply because its made by a company they do not like.

Chanser Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Dilemma Intel or AMD, hmm wish they would merge as one company, so I wouldn't need to choose. May get Intel if the price is right and if these performance figures come true at release.

MrCobra Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Yeah, if you have to buy a new motherboard with every cpu, that adds up the cost pretty quickly. and kinda defeat the purpose of sockets. why not just get a motherboard with the cpu soldered in, if the interface changes all the time anyways? That's one of the reasons I dumped Intel tech long ago. Mid '85 or '86 I believe it was. Every revision of every chip they make requires a new MB. Screw that.
