Im kind of a newbie to all this Intel vs AMD stuff. i dont pick one brand over the ther, whichever is performing better and is the better value at the time I am building a system is what I buy. Im currently running an AMD X2 chip and love it, its definitly got the goods over my brothers P4 3.2 setup even though it gives up 1.2ghz in clock speed. But the computer I had before this was an old P3 800mhz coppermine system that was built many years ago when Intel was king. So i dont take sides in the Intel/AMD thing.
Im just curious about what kind of chips AMD has waiting in the wings?? I know that the socket AM2 will be out soon and will support DDR2. But what will the next generation of AMD chips be like?? Will they basically be thesame K8 chips but with a smaller 65n process, slightly higher clocks and DDR2 capability?? Or are they going to release something differant all together. Ive heard rumors of quadcores, but i would think that would really be mainly for servers as most softeware cant even take advantage of dual cores yet. Anyone wanna comment?
thank
