if there was the slightest chance they thought it was fishy?
:roll:
It would seem to be a sad case of sour AMD fanboi grapes
i quote n7 here, who sums it up very nicely :
You whiners really piss me off.
Anand did state that the benches were run on an Intel setup machine. The discalimer is there, if you would actually read
It's entirely possible that the performance of the Intel testbest was "enhanced" in some way, perhaps via the ATi drivers or bios, & the the AMD machine's "lowered".
However, it doesn't seem they could do all that much.
We already know that AM2 isn't likely to provide much of a performance improvement unless AMD's hiding something about the new architechture, & so far, the only thing AMD has hidden is the benches on the new AM2 systems, since apparently they are doing worse due to some kinks they're working out with DDR2.
I agree that the actual difference will likely be smaller when the two platforms are actually out & competing with each other, but unless AMD pulls off some kind of miracle, Conroe is quite clearly going to be the new performance champ.
The sad thing is that you fanbois can't see how great this is for everyone.
This will force AMD to improve their tech to attempt to catch up, or lower prices to compete that way.
Either way, this is a win win situation for consumers
I, for one, am quite excited to see how it all turns out.
Oh, & go read anand's blog, you might trust him some more
