I think you need to stop posting entirely. Your entire argument revolves around insults and ignoring facts.
You are no developer, if you were you wouldn't resort to insults when someone challenges your argument based on feelings with facts.
Again Intel has offered better performance within my budget (and looking at the signatures on the forum, a good many others) than AMD for a decade.
LOL. Ok kid. See ya.
Mind share a scenario where TCO for Bulldozer server make sense?
It was a few years back when I was contracted to work the backend services platform for a game everyone here has heard of or plays. I can't say what they ended up doing after our POC, but it was early days for this work and we were looking for a single server. A systems team would scale out the hardware later on but my job was to ensure the backend services were proven to work and scale. For the server we were running and the way it was designed, our tests showed we achieved higher concurrency (roughly 900 connections a second IIRC) and AMD was the better choice.
When you scale out, the power efficiency probably really starts to hurt, but that wasn't relevant to us. We just needed as much concurrency as possible at the time. Some games I worked on, a single server like this would be enough other times (this case) it was scaled out for sure. The game is too big at this point.
There is no 1 size fits all answer like people desperately want to be the case when it comes to the interaction between hardware and software. It
has to be profiled, period. I tune software everyday whether it's low level bit mashing or algorithmic.
I'm building things that aren't assisted by Anand's arranged benchmarks. Basically if you're looking at real work, you look at it more seriously. If you're just posting on Anandtech and watching Youtube, it really makes no difference if you're on AMD, Intel or VIA.
