Back when the prelim benchmarks for Conroe were released, he dismissed them
as saying it was another Intel "marketing" scheme.

Well, as you have probably have read today, those benchmarks are now final.

Intel kicks AMD's rear end. What do you have to say about that? AMD is now
no longer consider reigning supreme gaming chip.

All gaming benchmarks prove Conroe is the real chip.

Now you can eat your words and salivate over Conroe. I bet you will be on
your way to buying a Conroe chip by the time you read this.
 
With all of the chips on the table, so to speak, Intel has pulled ahead in
the desktop market by providing a faster, cheaper CPU than the competition.
But that victory may be shortlived. AMD can quickly rebalance the scales by
increasing clock speeds and lowering prices.

What's more, several system builders have turned to overclocking to boost
the speed of AMD's processors, which very well could bring performance on a
par with Intel.

Actually I prefer Nissan.

Your assertion that one brand of CPU is better is correct currently. As was
pointed out to you in the past you are shooting at a constantly moving
target. Sometimes AMD is ahead of Intel and sometimes the opposite is true.
So what.

Are you new?

Do you not realize that the crown goes back and forth (a good thing)?

Do you realize that AMD will come up with something faster (a good thing)?

Do you think that Conroe will be the fastest forever?

Competition is a good thing.

Intel will not be on top forever, just as AMD won't be.

So while you are obviously and Intel-inside zealot, you fail to see that the
market is a fluid, sometimes volatile entity. I wouldn't gloat too long, or
too loudly, as something will come along to beat Conroe...etc.

One other point, which I don't expect you to accept or even understand (but
that's okay)....

I would still go with AMD over Intel for two reasons:

1. Socket compatibility...I can buy an AM2 motherboard and it will support
any AMD consumer CPU, as opposed to Intel...

2. The on-die memory controller and HyperTransport bus are still more
efficient than the older architecture that Intel is offering. Once
multi-threaded apps start appearing, this will become an even greater asset
to AMD.

I do not drool over the latest processor..I leave that to the teenie boppers
like you.

I will not be buying Conroe, mainly because I am satisfied with the
performance of my current rig (something else you wouldn't understand).

So I guess it boils down to this: You'll blow several paychecks upgrading
to Conroe...only to have it become second rate (as all others, including
AMD) have done before it, while I will save the money and be happy with what
I have now.

I don't buy something because it is the "fastest". There are many other
variables to consider. You, on the other hand. base your entire existence
and self-worth on a set of benchmarks. It will change. You will have to
adapt, if you can.

So, you'll be happy, at least for a while. I'll be happy, even longer than
you will, because my world doesn't end when a new benchmark is published.

I don't eat my words. What I claimed in the past was true...AMD was faster.
Now, it is Intel to have a little limelight..but then the pendulum will
always be swinging.

You need to get over your fixation...you'll be happier for it in the long
run.

These Intel v. AMD debates always remind me of my high school days and the view
that Ford was better than Chevy, or vice versa. It's just so much smoke and
mirrors.

And a pop quiz...what do you call a Ford at the top of a hill? A miracle!

True, but if cost is important, AMD is (or at least was a year ago) a better
choice. I use AMD in all three of my home-built PCs, and they run just fine.
Haven't had a problem with media (video, audio, photography) or
graphics-oriented games yet.
 
Bobby,

Haven't you read the benchmarks? You must be living in a different world.
All major hardware sites are pointing to Conroe. Some sites have said that
AMD is in for a "long summer and cold winter." According to Loyd Case in
Extremetech.com, he says, "about the only thing AMD can do is play the
pricing game."

If you think your 4x4 technology is going to do anything, you are dead wrong.

I really feel sorry for you. You will say anything just to justify your chip
is still great and that you will be better in the long run. Keep on kidding
yourself buddy. AMD has major work to get back in the game. Sure the chip war
goes back and forth, but AMD was convincingly whipped up by Conroe in
virtually all benchies.

Why don't you go back and try and overclock your outdated Athlon XP chip.
 
Not only does he know how to pick a winner chip in AMD (NOT!), he knows how
to tell a good joke (Another NOT!!)

Same here. And I saved a bunch of money doing so.

Besides for Gaming the Video card is much more important than the CPU
anyway.
 
Ryan...

Take a deep breath....calm down.

Not all of us want to commit suicide because there is a faster processor out
than what we own.

I still think that AMD is a better choice. Your feeble mind won't accept
that, but that is your problem.


Your sad little life is what you should feel sorry for.

Perhaps if you got a life...you seem to place your own self worth and self
value on the computer processor you own...Get over it.

So now your a critic, too?

Talented, aren't you? (NOT)

What a sad little thing you are. Your whole life crumbles because somebody
doesn't agree with you.


Sucks being you, don't it?
