AMD, Itell cost more go warmer and are slower

One could very easily argue Intel has a better price position (and about the warmer ... you seen the temps on a S775 chip lately? ... not that bad)
:)
 
My current CPU is the AMD 64 bit 3500 Venice core 2.2 [email protected] GHZ on an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe, with 2 gigs of twinx2048-3200c2 corsair XMS memory. After almost 2 hours of encoding with Cinema Craft Encoder (Very CPU intensive uses almost 100% CPU resources without past the whole time) and the temps never went above 48 degrees celcius with the stock heat sink/fan. Although my measures are by no means as high as they can go here's the link.

You normally shouldn't say things like that becasue there will always be someone who will argue with you. I must agree with you (hence my sig) but intel does perform better in some programs and was better in multi tasking (the dual core changed that).

Except:
1. It isnt a science
2. You're a fanboy without the complete story.
Seeming to know science you've heard of Darwin's theory of natrual succession ... so if AMD's processors are superior ... why Intel the dominant force?

Part of it is they have more cash for ad's and they probbably made a contract with dell so that they only buy their stuff.

1. When i asked the question, it wasnt a literal one
2. If AMD is so good, why didnt dell make a deal with them? (if you didnt pick it up, this is another rhetorical question :))
 
because intel name is out in the public more than amd.people are more fimliarer with intel than amd. when was the last time you have seen an amd comersial. when was the last time you saw and intel comersial. if you were a big corporation and need a cpu which one would you go for one with lost of averisment or one with the least amout of advertisement. plus they are targeting the class of people who don't know much about computers.

I have never seen an AMD commercial because AFAIK they don't have any (at lease not in North America) and that is there problem. IMO, AMDs solution to not being able to sell as much as Intel is to sue them. they should be spending that money on commercials (TV, magazine ads and the like) not lawyers

hmm I don't remember anything but oh well. And Intel has the Blue Man Group doing commercials, you can't compete with that :D
 
Hmm ... i prefer intel pentium 4 because i am much more accustomed to it, i mean i don't even know what the other CPUs are.
