Which CPU brand do you choose?

[Cromewell]

Cell is a CPU, there's nothing overly remarkable about it. It's basically a PowerPC core with 8 DSP cores attached.

 

[Christian Darrall]

ok i mean make summing else, more, futuristic sounding. like the "Logic brain"

that sounds cool

 

[Christian Darrall]

involving beams of light rather than electricity? Sure I read this somewhere)

wow that sounds really wicked but they will have to improve on ther physiscs to find out everthing about light.

well it will be like on halo when you see cds, as light disks etc.

but i wanna be able to walk across light.

thats similar to fiber optic cables instead of copper cables.

You aren't asking for much...lol

 

[AMD gs player]

i just read in a direct comparison even the lowest amd dual core outperformed its top cpu the extreme edition

It does outperform it in some tasks, but not everything. However for the price difference, the X2 is much better for the money.

 

[JamesBart]

Intel its all i know! but hey its cool! am still learing hahaha

 

[Sophocles]

Call me fickle, but I don't care if it's AMD or Intel, I only care which is the fastest at the time I'm ready for a new build.

 

[Impr3ssiv3]

does anyone here have the url where they did a comaprison with Intel's Dual Core and AMD Dual core. It had graphs and everythign and the AMD swept it in everything

It is a bit outdated, but I think that this is the one that you are talking about.

That is a bit outdated, since they dont even compare the 9xx series.

Heres a new one: http://www.gamepc.com/labs/print_content.asp?id=pd900&cookie_test=1

Scroll down to about half-way to see the benchmarks.

dam


AMD owned INTEL


in 3 or so all of the AMDs between every INTEL

Well the AMD X2 is a very nice CPU. But the Pentium D's are alot cheaper.

 

[Bobo]

Intel should really be embarrassed that AMDs dual core processors really kick their butts.

 

[Mac OS X]

I preffer Intel

 

[XFs]

that's like saying i like microsoft out loud at a linux convention!

If Linux had a *much* nicer user interface, it would be more popular.
Looks matter to most people ...

 

[Geoff]

It looks like the Core 2 Duo (Conroe), will be shipping in July of this year, instead of August-September like previously announced. The first CPU to be launched will be the Core 2 Duo Extreme, followed by the lower end models.
