I'm not calling him a nutjob. I'm calling the guy who runs van's hardware a nutjob.
So you're saying that it doesn't matter what a cpu's IPC is? Wrong.
Wrong again. I had an i7 720QM laptop. It was much faster than my phenom desktop. Especially in cpu intensive tasks the i7 at 1.6ghz(+Turbo) would match the phenom at 3ghz.
What the fuck are you talking about? You're the one who comes in with a biased opinion about how great amd is, and how evil intel is.
Reading some of the guys articles on vans hardware, I get the impression that he is a nutjob who believes in some great overarching conspiracy to justify why X is X and Y is Y.
Just like those doomsday cultists and the 7-day adventists, jehovaw's witnesses, and those baptists that spread the world will end fliers trying to get you to join them to 'save your soul.'
I made a comparison, valuable or not about two processors,
and your answer was to branding me as a conspiration paranoiac..
was that on topic ?....
Nehalem is a good proc., but saying that your laptop 1.6 is better
than a X6, that s quite exagerated..
As for IPC, of course it matters, but it s not the whole story.
As pointed by another reader, when thread count is high,
cores matter much more.
Also, about Anand neutrality, i would say that he tries
to do his job correctly, but alas, he has to more or less
abide by his sponsor will , which is quite understable since
what count for most of us is what put food on the table.
