After AT came out with their initial and revised Conroe rollout reviews, I have to admit, I was really excited. Finally, Intel's responding to competition with a product line that delivers value for the user.
Then I started seeing the mindless flame wars on several threads here regarding Conroe.
OK, two quick points:
1) Will you AMD fanbois STOP trying to tear down what appears to be a legitimate product? It's not as if you're shareholders in AMD or anything. Your manhood is not at issue here. OK, in 6 months, Intel will have something that outruns what you have. So what? Deal with it. Moore's Law didn't just vanish, you know. I'm an AMD guy now, too, and I feel for you. But face it, you knew this was going to happen. It doesn't delegitimize your chosen platform.
2) Will you Intel fanbois STOP trying to bait AMD users now that you have something to talk about? OK! OK! Intel is coming back. Do any of you think Intel would have worked this hard to deliver something if AMD hadn't pushed them to the limit? Have you checked AMD's and Intel's stock tickers lately? And how Intel admitted AMD is creaming them in market share in desktop and server platforms and that was why they issued their earnings warning? Stop walking around with your members in the air!
Just calm down. It's not as if we don't have much more important things to worry about. It's a Microprocessor, people! Not only that, it's something YOU did not create. You have no vested interest in AMD or Intel, and they sure as sh*t don't give a flying crap about you. If you ever get a chance to look into your first child's eyes and see the life there that you helped create, you'll then see just what is REALLY important in this world.
There are some very very intelligent people who hang around these forums, especially when new generations of hardware come out like Conroe. I've seen comments from them stating that they really don't like scoping out the mindless flame wars.
We just need to moderate a little bit more effectively around here (hear that, AT guys?) and talk more about the technology and not slam each other for our platforms.
And by the way, I wrote the book on benchmarking semething like 10 years ago (The Benchmark Book, from Prentice Hall) and it looks to me like Intel's marketing people made an effort to be fair.
