AMD Flunks again

Check this out, Core 2 Duo still beats'em. I like AMD's marketing scheme:rolleyes:, they give it 3Ghz(supposedly) and price it slightly cheaper than the E6700. Nice try AMD, maybe next time.

Kinda thinking of building a mATX AMD rig.
 
I didn't even glance at that, LOL. Nope I am not putting an 8800 in with that anytime soon. Imagine when both of them get stressed, ha you could cook an egg in that case
 
I read that article in MaximumPC. It's not really a new model or anything, its just a higher clocked A64 X2. Wait until they bring out their new line, which they say will own Intel's quad-cores.
 
AMD is getting thrashed out their at the moment, they must come up with something good real quick because their ATi graphics cards are not doing to well either.
 
It looks like the Intel fan boy's are finally having there day!

Although I have admitted AMD's dominance in recent years I still always used Intel's cpu's. Now they just happen to be better :-P

When is the new line coming out? I'm wanting to upgrade but I have a bad feeling that as soon as I get the AM2 chip, another chip will be out. Thanks!
 
Owning Intel's quad-cores??? Ha, what are they thinking? They just got Dual-core technology a while back. Pck, you may wanna upgrade to that 6000+, I heard it is the most comparable thing AMD has to an E6600. Quad-cores are not gonna be great for gaming, I will stick with dual-core or the ancient HT technology.

We can all forget the fact that this is still the same technology that AMD has been using for a while, and they haven't come out with a new architecture!
Woo go Intel for doing nothing we didn't know already!

I just find this a bit arrogant.
If this was a new architecture, and Intel was still beating it, fine, good for Intel. But until then, settle down.
 
Give me a break you all, AMD has basically been using the same processor since the 754 and it took Intel 5 years to beat it. I think Intel laid all there cards on the table. When the new single, X2 and quad cores come out this summer from the Barcelona core I think Intel will be right back where they started, having to ramp up the GHZ just to keep up!

They came out with dual-cores around the same time as the Pentium D 9xx series, which was Intel's first "true" dual-core.

And Intel doesnt have a true quad-core processor yet either, just two dual-core dies on one CPU.

how correct you are but Agena will come out soon quad-core, 2 cpus so total of 8 cores.

wow if the technology progresses this fast, i say around 2009-2010 we'd be using 16 cores and windows will be 128-bit. Practically a super computer

your saying that as if everyone will instantly have 8 cores... You'll only get 8 if you physically buy 2 K8L chips... and with even one having a TD of 125w (an amazingly massive jump from kentsfield's predicted TDP of just 80w)
 
i want 8 cores......

maybe i'll wait till next spring to buy a new computer

i was gonna buy one this spring, but my old prescott's already got a 4.7 vista rating, i could stand to wait

should be an interesting year for computers
