| 504204 | 2006-12-05 03:19:00 | Great. Looks like AMD reputation is going down, lol, I'll get Intel chip then. My parents Intel PC Intel is really rubbish but the current Quad Core chip really shows some performance. :) Can't wait to get Quad Core CPU in May next year. | PedalSlammer (8511) | ||
| 504205 | 2006-12-05 10:25:00 | What everyone is forgetting is that it is comparing Intels Quad Core CPU with AMDs Dual Core/Dual CPU offering. AMD has not yet released their Quad Core. AMD will introduce its first generation 65 nm products on December 5, which paves the way for a future quad core CPU. The initial 65 nm processors will target the entry level and the mainstream, though, and we will have to wait several more months before high-end 65 nm AMD processors hit the shelves. The 65 nm quad core Agena FX, with dedicated L2 caches and a unified L2 cache, is not expected before summer 2007. Until then, AMD had to come up with a solution to keep Intel's pace and show off innovation, because the first 45 nm Intel processors are very likely to arrive as soon as late 2007. So it remains to be seen.... The interesting thing is if you read the link to the article I posted Intel is going to switch to the method AMD is using now which will probably mean that AMD will be ahead of the game then. |

When Intel start producing chips similar to AMD's they will be behind the game, and they are going to. |

Sorry I meant how Intel's method is piggy backing the chips which they are about to change to the AMD method. If you read the link I posted ealier you will understand what I mean. |

If you read the link I posted ealier you will understand what I mean.Alright, I get what you mean now. Intel is using AMD way by using Power Saving chips to win the game, because overheated chips can never worked well just like P4 processors. Intel Core 2 chips worked faster this time because they're working at a lower temperature. | PedalSlammer (8511) | ||

So it remains to be seen . . . . Actually Intel don't have a true quad core either, it is 2xCore2 duo's in 1 processor . This is not a bad thing as the Core 2's are very efficient, but it is not a native quad core It is likely AMD will be the first to release a "native" quad core which is pretty much what you have in the rest of your post . As for anyone being loyal to either Intel or AMD is stupid, it is better to buy the best price/performance . At the moment its all Intel, 8 months ago going back about 2 . 5 years!! it was all AMD . |

Intel Core 2 chips worked faster this time because they're working at a lower temperature. sorry for the double post, but couldn't let this slide. Core 2 chips perform better as they perform far more operations per clock cycle than P4 due to a completely different architecture not to mention extra cache 2 & 4MB (oh and dual core). They run cooler as they run at lower MHz and they are a lower micron. They are are not higher performers because of heat, the lower heat is a byproduct of a better design. |

| 504212 | 2006-12-07 09:36:00 | Regardless of whose chip is better, the fact that they are slugging it out means we can pick whoever is wining at the time. We are the winners :) :) | R2x1 (4628) | ||
