Finally, they have taken out the leader of AMD! It is only a matter of time before Intel becomes the rightful champs of CPUs!
 
competition is always a good thing. amd needs to step up their game and put fear back into intel. if amd goes down, the cpu market will be completely dominated by one manufacturer, which in the end is a no-win situation for the consumers.

I'll just build my gaming machines around VIA
 
I hope it stays 50/50 forever so they both keep advancing their processors. If not for AMD's Athlon we would probably be still using P4s.
 
If amd/ati goes down, we will all lose bigtime, don't be a stupid fanboy. If intel "wins" you will lose........your money.

I still AM using a P4 3.0GHz, there's no real difference between that and any other Intel CPU, it's actually faster for some things than a quad core. Not that I am knocking the quad cores, they're good at some things, but stuff like gaming (Crysis, Age of Conan, etc) nothing beats the raw power of the P4. I've compared against my freinds eMachine quad and mine beats his.

WOW..I don't even know how to respond to that
 
Um...I can't even multitask on a P4. I mean come on man! You got to be able to listen to music and write an essay in notepad on Windows 95. That isn't too much for a P4 right? By the way...Does Windows 95 support a quad core? :confused:

We need competition. This reminds me about what my younger brother asked me today.

"I don't get it. Why can't medical companies just work together? They are so stupid"

I responded: Being human is a wonderful thing. :)

And by the way, I am ahead of modern times. ;)

First off emachines doesn't have a quad-core. UNLESS he upgraded it and that is why it sucks mobo doesn't support it.

Second,.... Are you and IDIOT(not to offend) but ONE of the two core on my E6550 whoops all over you lousy no good Pentium 4 even at 3.73GHz I nearly double your score. yeah know it is just 3Dmark but that is besides the point has to do with in game rendering.

P4 are terrible... I love my intel but I would any AMD chip Intel for the price point. what you get out of a $169 AMD quad-core isn't what you get out of a $169 Intel dual-core.

Good CEO or not Ruiz did his part, he brought us through the Athlon cycle were he had his run and well, now it is Intel's time to shine.

QFT

I will always "prefer" AMD, but I want both to do well. Good competition is good for the consumer! :)

From a business standpoint, I'm not sure even Intel would benefit. They need to keep AMD at bay, but very much alive.

QFT. Even when they do have real competition, they seem to get caught up in more anti-trust issues than Microsoft, and that's saying a lot. If AMD were to go down in flames, Intel would need to resurrect VIA and give them a x86 license if they didn't want the EU to flay them alive. :D

Get your head out of your ass. I went from an Opteron 144 (pretty close to a 3GHz P4) to an E7200.

The E7200 RAPES my opteron in performance. I had probably a 60FPS jump in CoH with my shitty little 8500GT.

Precisely... Those of you who want one side to "win" are shooting yourself in the foot. Learn rudimentary economics instead of just being a fanboy.

I'd like to see you produce a single benchmark where the P4 comes out on top, because for the life of me I can't find one...

This thread fails....Simple economics shows that competition = GOOD. If it weren't for AMD, we'd all be stuck using those underwhelming nuclear reactors known as Prescott.

Oh, and +1 on the facepalm

Also, I call shenanigans on the eMachines vs. your rig unless we get COMPLETE specs on both...



 
+1 facepalm

the following is a satire: yay intel has finally done it cuz u kno they wers always teh underdowg!
 
The OP is either a troll or flame baiting. Comments like a P4 beating a quad... seriously. Even newer celerons beat P4s for fck sake.
 
The only way your p4 would win against a quadcore would be if the quadcore was so muddled with porn pop ups from 100 instances of spyware and 60 virus's...


And a lot of us have seen computers with that much crap on it...I still am baffled at HOW people do that.


Im betting my 2.9ghz Opteron 165 would beat out your p4 3.0ghz.

Lets take it to the streets!

You sir made this 1 epic/classic Thread.

I am so reminded how uninformed the normal population is.

Then you wonder why Compusa went out of business lol

Uh, VIA has an x86 license as well as designs and manufactures x86 processors. Welcome to the party.
