| 281449 | 2004-10-18 03:13:00 | >So, Apple and Intel where the first companies to come out with 64bit cpus Correct Apple released the first desktop 64bit CPU, Intel released the first 64bit chip . Unfortunatly the Itanium doesnt support 32bit applications, meaning if you were going to use one you'd need a special OS and software . >The first one used to die regularly and both of them kept the house warm in Winter . Come on jack get some decent arguements, sssh Intel fanboys were using those arguements years ago . If you had any idea what you were talking about you'd realise the tables have actually turned over the last year . AMD's now run cooler than Intel, the Prescott is far far hotter than any AMD cpu, and with AMD recent successful shift to the . 09nm manufacturing process (unlike Intel who were unsuccessful) there now even cooler . The instability the AMD cpu's experienced several years ago was due to poor chipset not the CPU's themselves, if i recall correctly it was Intel who recently recalled the entire first batch of 9XX chipsets . While AMD on the other hand have been going from strength to strength with there chipsets . Alot of distributer were lazy and didnt recall motherboards with the faulty intel chipsets, this effectively renders the motherboard useless as they were only compatiable with a certain stepping no longer avaliable . But you pay more for Intel soo it must be better, it doesnt matter if its the hottest chip currently on the market or if your brand new $300+ motherboard is incompatiable with every new P4 on the market . |

| 281450 | 2004-10-18 03:18:00 | And what are you going to run on your 64 bit AMD cpu?? 32 bit windows? Jack |

| 281451 | 2004-10-18 03:34:00 | Thats right Jack,The 64-bit AMD chip does a steller job of running 32-bit code. Do you view that as a negative?,its not like your paying extra for its 64-bit ability. |

| 281452 | 2004-10-18 03:35:00 | The upshot is, whether your an Intel fan or an AMD fan or don't give a hoot as long as it works and doesn't break the bank or the code it's running along the way, we all benefit when the two main companies are viable and competing . On the other hand, we all suffer if one goes down the gurgler (which certainly is not happening to Intel at the mo) . Intel's little problem is that they have made one dog of a chip that chews up wattage and returns heat with interest . They couldn't ramp it up to the projected 10GB lifecycle without giving away fire protection clothing and a generator with each chip . But, this is actually good news for everybody, including the Intel diehards . It's made Intel reappraise their technology and given AMD a sniff (whether they can take the gap, remains to be seen) . We'll all get better technology at competitive pricing out of it . For an analogy, have a look at the automotive industry of years gone by . More innovation, new materials, design concepts, etc, came out of that industry in the name of competition than anything else, except perhaps the world wars . That benefit incidentally flowed on to such things as medicine and manufacturing in other industries including electronics . Now I'm not saying that chip makers are going to have the same social impact but, the likes of us may as well cheer them on and get something out of it, right! :) Cheers Murray P |

| 281454 | 2004-10-18 05:52:00 | I wonder if you could tell the difference in a "blind" intel vs amd test? I very much doubt it |

| 281455 | 2004-10-18 06:19:00 | Right about now would be a good time to for a mac fanatic to leap into the fray and point out that in reality Macs rule over intel and amd (pauses for breath while I lose my lunch) . That might create common ground between amd and intel users and cause them to rise up in a jihad against Macs. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) |
