[Vox Populi Vox Dei]

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) today cut prices for its mobile Turion 64, Athlon 64 X2, Athlon 64 for full-size notebooks, Sempron, and mobile Sempron CPUs for desktop PCs and notebooks, with the steepest reduction in the mobile Turion 64 line, according to the price list on the company’s website.

In contrast, prices for its Opteron, Athlon 64, and Athlon 64 FX CPU lines remain unchanged. The AMD Athlon 64 CPUs for desktop replacements was no longer listed on the CPU price list released by the chip vendor.

Oh maybe something that could keep up with an intel ?

I'v seen the light just Intels light was much brighter than AMD's

 

[eye_suc]

hehehe, the light is brighter cause the CPU is running so damn hot! its probably the glow of the near melting point heatsink

Intel for the BURN!

 

[Person]

It least i know its working .... then its glowing

Person, a pity an AMD FX-57 crushes the Intel Extreme Edition 840 in gaming & most other apps.

Also AMD's dual-core solutions murder the Intel equivalent.

 

[Person]

hey Intel's Intel and AMD is AMD and that my friend is the problem...

Thank goodness for that, have you seen how much market share Intel has lost in the last financial year.

Anyone who know a decent ammount about how processors work and how important the heat factor is will know that AMD is kicking Inhels @SS at the moment.

Intel inside, idiot outside......

Um, Intel still has about 80% of the Server Market.

Take a look here : http://www.pcpitstop.com/research/cpumfr.asp

I like AMD, but don't kid yourself when it comes to Intels sales and market share.
My next pc will definately be an AMD.

Problem is most major OEM's [Dell; HP; Gateway] get major discounts from Intel if they use their chips.

And let's face it, most PC users buy from OEM's

"Intel inside, idiot outside......"

lol i liked that statement......

 

[DragonLogos]

Computer users have no excuse because PCs have to carry the Warning " Intel Inside "

A new Socket A Motherboard can use a CPU from the very first 600 Mkz right up to the Bartons and Semprons. Intel on the other hand seem to change boards every six months, and I am forever having people looking for motherboards for their orphaned CPUs - A Problem you do not get with AMD - Sadly a lot of IT people are blind to this fact and the real idiots are often heard muttering something about AMD overheat, if you have such a person in your organisation get rid of them quick
