Im a gamer and wanted to overclock my cpu so i went with AMD heard there best for gaming and my model (Barton 2500+) is easy to over clock so i went with that, if i were going for something other than gaming though i would go for Intel........errr no i wouldnt :D
 
I've heard that Pentium is way being anything that amd is doing. And that amd just can't match the power of the amd overall.

There's no point in trying. Multiple verb collisions and self-contradition disintigrate the entire comment
 
AMD is obdviously gonna win this, Intel is far to expensive for the quality it gives, also with the amount of overclockers and gamers on this forum and the Athlon 64 range Intel dont stand a chance.

Intel does not stand a chance...

;)


Hey, Intel still has 39.06% of the votes (as of 01-28-2005)... which is about 39% more than I thought Intel would get... based on logic similar to yours...

Uh ... considering mainstream P4s are cheaper than mainstream Athlon64s I dont see how you can say that ... and what exactly do you mean "quality"?

also with the amount of overclockers and gamers on this forum and the Athlon 64 range Intel dont stand a chance.

Yes but never has "overclockers and gamers" ever represented the majority of a marketshare -- unfortunately forum votes like this dont actually matter much considering that neither AMD or Intel get a profit from it.

Did not clarify, I was just helping tomprice43 with his grammar.

True. Just like in politics.. 90% of a group of people might vote one way, but that group only represents 10% of the total population. That still does not take away from the opinions of that group. This forum poll helps show us that many people are infact interested in AMD chips for all of the reasons mentioned in the past 168 posts... yet I am still surprised that 40% voted for INTEL based on a trend I have seen throughout these boards..

I agree

I think that the # of poeple buying intel will go up after they come out with their double core procs, b/c non computer people think "Oooh, double core means double the fast, so it is really 6GHz!"

Not that that is a good thing, but it is what I predict will happen

It 's looking like Dual Core is gonna hit the market first by AMD ... granted it'll be Opteron based but 90% of "hardcore" users will take that and run wildly with it ... even though they have no intention of buying server chips............. ;) As for the "double the fast", dual-core, for all intents and purposes, will be just that (ok its definitely not a 100% improvement but prolly 93% +/- 3% improvement. Intel does have a significant advantage if they decide to implement HT on their dual-core procs though.

Oh cool, I didn't even know amd was doing that....
 
Aye, until just *very* recently, it's been almost universally accepted that AMD would be the first to hit the market with dual-core configs (after all, they did beat Intel to the punch by a week).

Well, I don't really read much in the way of computer news, but I did suggest that we have a section of this forum for computer news...
 
Bobo, robina -- cut the offtopic chitchat (why is it bobo i always have to remind you about that?) ... make a rant thread in General chat or something or take it to a PM
