Sweet was going to upgrade now but will wait for this to come out. Glad to see we have 2 more amd users here hehe![]()

Once the quad 3Ghz comes out I will upgrade from my old X2 6000 dual 3ghz.
Yet again I am not surprised at how utterly lame intel is. First they condemded the internal memory controller when it came out on the Socket754 AMDs and now they are copying it. Just as they copied EMT64. They failed with RAMBUS and also with NetBurst on the original P4s. Intel is one big failure and they have millions of drones that blindly buy their crap. Crap they pirated from AMD.
I guess AMD is true to their name, Advanced micro devices. Not copied crap like intel.
I will not justify feeding the troll here. In one of your previous posts, you admitted to being an AMD fanboy. That's fine, but can you please accept reality now? Intel made mistakes, but they made a complete turn around with Core 2 series, and AMD have not and cannot catch up again.
Oh, and in case you don't know, Intel and AMD have cross licensing agreements dating back from ages ago, so they share some info.
The world needs trolls as they do erm... whatever it is you think you are.
AMD did make 186, 286 and 386 processors under license from Intel. AMD helped Intel a lot to get x86 established as a big market player. Somehow their products where more advanced (take the Am386DX40 as example) and Intel felt threatened. They wanted to keep AMD from making 486 CPUS and after many lawsuits intel LOST.
Intel made the itanic and said that with their new IA-64 platfrom their competitors might as well close shop. Since then itanic sunk and AMDs x64 it the market leader.
AMD made many advances in the x86 arena :
* breaking the 1Ghz barrier (got copied by intel who recalled a lot of CPUs)
* made power consumption optimized solutions for mobile platforms
* used DDR instead of evil RAMBUS (intel switched eventually)
* created HyperTransport interconnect, adopters include Sun Microsystems, Agilent, Apple Computer, Broadcom, Cisco Systems, IBM, nVidia and Texas Instruments
* used model numbers instead of Ghz (intel copied that)
* created 64 bit CPUs that are fully compatible with 32 bit x86 code (got copied by intel)
* used integrated memory controllers (copied by intel)

Sure, Core2 was faster than the AMD offerings at the time, but when you look at the company that made Core2 you realize they are really a bunch of dumbasses. The only new thing they made, IA-64, and boasted about to great deals, was killed off by them many years later in favor of yet again following AMDs example.
So intel is in fact nothing more than a herd of sheep following what ever it is that the industry innovator (AMD) comes up with.
I had my share of intels, but after the P2 it became clear they were no longer technology leaders - but technology followers.
AMD FTW !![]()

So what your saying is Intel stoped inovating but yet they spent billions on research.
Actually Rouxenator, whilst the facts of your post are correct to a degree, Intel has kept innovating and at this point in time produces the best CPU's on the market.
There processors are faster in the real world than the "equivalent" AMD ones.
Intel have made mistakes, as have AMD... and both companies have corrected their mistakes.
