AMD Opteron Dual-Core Processor.

PC eye, you just don't give up, do you? Mind explaining how my Athlon XP 2800+ ran my two 512 sticks in dual channel mode just fine without any hitches? Considering that the Athlon XP's don't even have an on die memory controller? To reiterate what StrangleHold said, the memory controller for...

If you're trying express or state indirectly that knowledge or wisdom is proportional to post count, think again.

You mean to say that you fell for it?

Which leads me to make the accusation that you did not think the poll through, due to the fact that you decided to include a lower end Core 2 which hasn't even been released yet (Q6600), and your decision to omit the highest end Core 2 which has already been launched (QX6700).

Because ADE impulsively makes polls without thinking them through.

AMD dropped the PR scheme relative to Pentium 4 performance a while ago. So saying "Oh, it's an A64 3200+, so it's equal to a 3.2GHz P4" is wrong. Secondly, an X2 3800+ is not two A64 3000+'s slapped together, considering that a crossbar has to be implemented into the cores, so that they can...

Because Intel's latest processor line (Core 2) has significant architectural advantages over AMD's current processor line.

Well yeah, you're wrong. IBM's POWER4 CPU was the first dual core processor. Even if you are comparing AMD and Intel, you're still wrong. Intel released the Pentium D in May of 2005, meanwhile AMD released the Athlon 64 X2's in June of 2005.

Are you serious? You really expect the quad cores to be a higher clock speed, considering that the QX6700 already dissipates 130W of thermal power at 2.66GHz? The Core Duo has 2 CPU's, not 1 CPU acting like 2.

What happened to Socket 940, AM2 and F? Those are all K8 based also. The reverse HTT myth was debunked months ago.

No. 2400/266 = 9x.

AGP came out almost 10 years ago. And back 5 years ago, AGP was already making a huge impact.

No, but there are going to be programs in the future which will take advantage of the 8 cores.

Kentsfield is coming out in about a week. Don't you think that Intel would have announced a new socket scheme by now if there was going to be one?

Obviously Kentsfield is going to be LGA775.

No. Semprons also only have a 1600MHz HTT.

You want to make the second CPU render graphics, considering that it's not even solely meant for graphics, when a GPU can do it many times faster as it is specifically designed for that kind of task? Remember software mode for games? Secondly, with current video cards reaching VRAM bandwidth...

Or just go and give your processor a nice bath in Isopropyl alcohol.

Not a lot of info on the Core 2 architecture? http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0%2C1697%2C1988794%2C00.asp
