Anyways You Intel guys can argue all day about speed and availability of chips and so forth but the bottom line is that the Prescott core is crap unless it's running at 4 ghz. plus.
The Pentium D is nothing but 2 Prescotts glued together running at a slower speed which = crap. Now to be fair The Dothan core Pentium M is an aweseome processor. In fact I would love to have one. Intel made a mistake with Prescott, and until they have a mainstream desktop processor thats not based on the Prescott core I'll stick with AMD.
Your close to being correct here ! But if intel wouldn't have had problems scaling thereP4 to 5GHz+ we would all be talking quit differantly. Is that not so? Would of Could of Should of. Win some lose some or is it a win win even if you lose.
Even though. Threw they eyes of AMD fan boys or girls P4 is a diaster I applied Intels efforts at High GHz and if you think that even though P4 seems to be died in the water that what intel learned with the P4 isn't going to benefit me in the next gen. of intels CPU'S your saidly mistaken.
If Intels next Gen . dominates AMD like I believe they will AMD is in serious trouble now .
1) Amd can't supply enough CPU in single core to the market How they going to do dual cores in quanity.
2) Amd is barely able to make profits now and they are considered to be the best Arch. and value for the $$$.
3)THE other thing that everyone always brings up is the ondie memory controller. My ? here is this the only reason that Amd outperform Intel in Apps. If so than in reality its not amd Cpu tech thats ahead of Intel but infact its where they put the memory controll.
On the Intel side of things all the evidance is pointing to these facts not wild speculations.
1) In dual cores Intel will be the value CPU undisputable and Intel will still maintain its profit margin. OH! OH!
2) Intel leaving the P4 Arch. behind them . They are going to a much simplier Cpu Arch. Which well best AMD Cooler, quiter, faster. and higher profit margins due to a simplier Arch.
3) Intels dothan has already Shown that Clock for Clock they can hang right with the top Amd CPU , AND thats with a really bad memory controller.
So in finializing to the poster I to am an Intel fangirl but fact is AMD right now is a better solution at the topend of the PC chain.
So Dothan here's what I want from you and all Intel fans. Shout up ! Wait for Q1 06
when Intel well reestablish beyond dought there superiorty!
Than come back to this forum and burn down the house that AMD flamers built.
On the video scene right now the rumers going around that ATI is having problems with R520. This is true they are having great difficulties in deciding how fast to bring this thing out at . Nice problem to have don't you think?
Cross Fire seems to be better than SLI right now. Well know soon enough. If it is infact as good as it appears it would appear again that Zinn2b made fools of the. The experts at this forum .
I will let you guys do your own search on this but at another forum Zinn2b has made it perfectly clear that if Intels spanks Amd in 06 that he is Going to sue the Anand tech Forums for an illeagal Ban . I personnly have read everthing he posted some of it is garbage at this forum but fact is it was an unlawful ban. and attorny's that made comments on his lawsuit post all agree Zinn2b will win cause he did nothing wrong at all.
As I understand it the attys read some of the post and have stated openly that in Zinn's post. If the other posters would have been banned also (the people who went to far) he wouldn't have a case but as it is he can show prejuidice .
