Intel Funds AMD-bashing Report

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the marketing-does-the-dumbest-things dept.

Jim Norton writes "The Inqwell and ZDNet are reporting that the Aberdeen group, who recently published a report attacking the Athlon XP's processor rating system, was funded by Intel to produce the report. The articles also mention that AMD claims they were never contacted for information regarding this issue." From the benchmarks that various outfits have done on the new AMD chips, their model number is actually pretty conservative.

    What I care about is not having to worry about the latest VIA drivers wrecking my system or hoping the bargain motehrboard I purchased for my AMD CPU won't gie me problems in 6 months. I stick with Intel because it just plain works, no worries.



    WTF ever. The man can afford a dual Pentium 4 but needs to buy a bargain basement mobo for his AMD? YOU MEAN THERE ARE NO BARGAIN BASEMENT MOBOS FOR INTEL THAT SUCK? Gimme a break.



    Of the three boxes I run at home, one is a dual Intel, one is a pre-XP Athlon, and the other is an XP. Guess which is more stable? Answer: NONE THEY ALL RUN FINE HAHAHAHAHA I WIN.
