new fodder for the AMD vs. Intel war, Intel comes out ahead this time....



<< ON A number of occasions, stories failing to show AMD in an exclusively-positive light have resulted in readers offering to pop round and help me install a Pentium 4 in what sounds like a very uncomfortable place.
Not only are all those pins very sharp, but installing a heatsink would certainly bring tears to the eyes. No amount of thermal grease would help here, we suspect.

But at least we've finally discovered why Athlons and Durons aren't deemed suitable for rectal fitment. Whilst leafing through the spec sheet for AMD's 762 chip, we came across the following caveat:

&quot;AMD's products are not designed, intended, authorized or warranted for use as components in systems intended for surgical implant into the body, or in other applications intended to support or sustain life, or in any other application in which the failure of AMD's product could create a situation where personal injury, death, or severe property or environmental damage may occur.&quot;

We asked a Chipzilla spokesman if Intel chips carried a similar health warning, and it would appear that they don't.

So the next time someone suggests shoving a semiconductor where the sun don't shine, for your own safety, please make sure it's an Intel one.

Thank you for your attention. µ
