AMD tests their latest GPU's on an Intel socket 2011 machine to showcase performance.

Honestly, you're just a raging AMD fanboy, but you usually hide it better, I can't really decide if I should waste any more of my time on you.

Please don't make these kinds of inflammatory retorts. They go nowhere and just drag the rest of the discussion down with it.

AMD suckz so freaking much they benchmarked teh 7970 on a 1000 dollerz intel cpu. BD is soooo much failz!!!!

He was only stating the obvious.

you cannot lose in a disciplin you do not compete in...

your 28nm argument is P&N worthy material.

Intel doesn't need AMD for anything other than keeping monopoly accusations of its back, where as AMD's cpu department is completely reliant on Intel and its IP. No X86 would mean no access to the X86 software stack.

Dude what planet you living on? If you want to answer that, get off you’re high horse first (you calling others a fan boy – ha, what a joke).😕


OT
Intel has needed AMD for many things e.g. integrated memory controller – x64 etc, are just a couple. The next few years are going be very challenging as there will be more players competing.

implementing != needing

but the memory controller was integrated by DEC and HP when AMD was still only making intel knock-offs...

I've owned several AMD cpus prior to conroe and I still own AMD gpus, so I must surely be an intel fanboy

and who are these other players you speak off? if you say ARM I will laugh because ARM is nowhere near ready to take the fight to X86 territory.

can you post a reading on how intel needs AMD for its intergrated memory controller?

Im just blown away here because from memory INTEL had an intergrated memory controller first so im not sure why you think they need them.

Did they buy or license any technolgy from AMD to use in there controllers?

I highly doubt intel needs anything from AMD and even there athlon was a spin off of another companies cpu called the alpha chip.The ev7 had the memory controller built in and Im pretty sure going from memory that AMD made there athlons(the only cpus to ever compete with intel)from the use of alpha tech.

that turned into the athlon 64 and so on and so forth and is based off of it with the cpus they are making today.

There intergrated gpus are not made by AMD they bought the best gpu company at the time and ATI is making and designing there gpus(NOT AMD) and yes its got a AMD logo on it but thats only because they paid 4 billion for that company.

to be honest there is nothing that AMD have built themselves that can compete with intel.

Now if intel would to buy Nvidia and all of a sudden have 4x the igpu performance and built there next gen low voltage gpu on 22nm trigate what you you guys say about intels gpus?

I know I wouldnt brag and preech about how nasty they are because I know they didnt make them and just bought a company that is very good at making gpus and built them on there 22nm fabs.

please tell me how AMD needs anything or used anything from intel.Heck back in the day AMD used to make intel cpus and sell the intel clones with an intel and amd logo on them.

 

[-Slacker-]

Stupid move. They should have just used a 5ghz FX8150, the results would have been similar, and they would have taken a lot less flack for that. Now this will be used for propaganda and flaming for the next 2 years.... Oh, too late.

 

[pmartin]

As it was noted above, the Intel CPU costs $1000 while AMD CPU costs only a paltry $250.

That is the only "win" for AMD in this comparison.

Thats not a win, its just a sign you need another $750 for the best cpu on the market.

 

[GaiaHunter]

It seems to me as:

Here is an Intel configuration - we tested these components and works fine.
Here is an AMD configuration - we tested these components and works fine.

Yes, they said the primary system is an Intel system.

As if that isn't reality? Regardless of what AMD would type as primary or recommended system, reviewers were going to use Intel.

Had AMD written "Primary configuration system: AMD CPU blah blah" we would either have a thread laughing at AMD because they are out of touch with reality or we would have a thread point the finger at AMD for trying to make NVIDIA cards slower since NVIDIA cards have a tendency to be affected more by processor performance (see for example the [H] GTX580SLI vs 6970CF review with Nehalem and SB.

 

[AtenRa]

This lol. As we all know, the 2500k wipes the floor with the 8150 in gaming too.

In 1024x768 ??? They sure does 😛

but,

HD7800 and 7900 users will play at 1080/1200 and 1600p at high/ultra settings and AA filters, care to show me the performance difference in those resolutions/settings between Core i5 and FX CPUs ???

lol you're the one living on an alien planet.

Its very easy to see who wears that pants in this relationship and its not AMD.

This was already very obvious... :thumbsdown:
