AMD has the best ProcessorBUT

[ahock]

First I done wanna start some flame here. Just a healthy discussion.

I came across the slide from AMD analyst day and some of the comments here. No doubt AMD has the best processor now with their X2 which I think until Dempsey or the Bensley platform come, that's the time they'll have some good competition. But one thing struck me somehow in their roadmap they will add the RAS feature which I thought they have already in their platform. Now I did some readings from different sites and found out that most of AMD platform lacks the best feature as compared to Intel.

Now I dont know about Dempsey but withe Bensley I think Intel wants to really focus on their feature rather than raw processor power which if I'm an IT manager would really think twice. Do you agree?

What's RAS?

I don't know
The features I know of what Intel has AMD has it as well.
Visualisation, NX-bit, 64-bit, SSE3

The fact that nVIDIA has stepped it up with the features, there's no more reason to consider Intel for the features it has anymore until it actually improves its performance.
And for CPU features, which ever aren't proprietary to the processor, they are prettymuch the same.
