Wow, with the new socket 939 motherboards out, AMD excels at encoding and everything else!

[Mik3y]

it seems that amd's venture into socket 939 really helped them out in encoding, and now they even surpass intel on it. i'm pretty amazed. amd clearly beat intel on every benchmarks in comparison wtih the motherboards and cpu. wow. its here at Anandtech.

Post links.

I take it he's referring to the ones on the front page of AT, although I haven't had a chance to read them yet.

It certainly looks like the combination of Socket 939, FX53, and AutoGK/DivX 5.1.1 eliminates the last remaining win for Intel chipsets in our benchmarks. The upcoming move to 64-bit encoding will only increase the current small lead held by Athlon 64 in our encoding benchmarks.

AHHAHAHHHHHHHHHAHHAHHAHAH

HAHHAHAHAHA

HAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAH

Im such a AMD fanboi.

 

[Mik3y]

w00t w00t!

where's peteroy when you need him!?

 

[SneakyStuff]

VIVA LA AMD!!! :beer: :wine:

For $400? No thanks.

 

[dudeman007]

wow that's amazing. go amd

 

[nitromullet]

No doubt, Socket 939 stomps LGA775 in gaming at the moment.

For $400? No thanks.

The Intel LGA775 procs aren't any cheaper...

 

[sandorski]

sweeet

It was difficult to resist being a little sensationalist in this 939 roundup and titling the review, "Who needs 925X?" That would have been a fair title, however, since you can clearly see that all of the Socket 939/FX53 boards completely outperform Intel's top 560 on the top 925X motherboard. Even Media Encoding, the last bastion of Intel dominance, has fallen in benchmarks with our new AutoGK benchmark.

Ouch!

they'll come down in price once intel drops the 4Ghz mark with a 1066 fsb. Meanwhile intel will probably go back to being more expensive. hopefully then amd will have 3ghz 90 nm chips

 

[Mik3y]

ya, 90nm wtih socket 939 will pwn! wow, i was expecting intel to cream amd soon, but it seems otherwise now. like intels new xeon: its not any better hten the opteron, though it does have some significant improvements, but the opteron is still superior by a margin.

 

[MichaelZ]

meh

 

[konakona]

things are looking worse and worse for intel
i am happy with my mobile barton, not a huge gamer here...

 

[IPLaw]

Wow - I havent seen a beating like that since Bobby got done with Whitney . . .

 

[Sid59]

wow. the chipset and cpus are coming together nicely for AMD. Hopefully they use this to theri advantage and turn some coins.

In terms of their current pipeline of CPU's, yes. According to sales, no. Noboby knows jack about AMD in the world outside of Anandtech.com.

 

[PlatinumGold]

this seems to be the clearest victory i've seen for either side in a long long time and thats still using only the 32 bit OS. with a good 64 bit OS and apps written for it, how much better is the amd?

 

[manko]

I can't wait for Nforce 4.

The bulk price of the P4 3.60GHz LGA775 is $637. I'm not sure what street is.

AMD Athlon 64 FX-53 Processor Prices (from AT's own ad links) :

NewEgg.com $799.00
2BuyStore $851.96
TigerDirect.com $899.99

So there is a real price difference, probably $150-200 depending on where you buy. That's a stick of RAM, at least.

Thats not entirely true. Last time I went to Best Buy THe only computer systems I saw being boughten both had AMD XP's in them. They also had AMD motherboards and Retail CPU's in stock even. I was shocked. I think the tides are slowly starting to turn for AMD. People may still not know what they are but regular Joe Shmo is starting to buy AMD stuff which will help them in the long run.

In all fairness, last I heard AMD sold out its processor stock for the previous quarter, so they're doing as well as they can, literally.
