Tom's Hardware End of Year CPU Roundup

Wister285 writes "Tom's Hardware has just posted one of their now famous CPU comparisons. Aside from looking at all of the nice graphs, they also compare the speeds of overclocked processors with their factory rated counterparts. It looks like the AMD chips just don't overclock as well as the Intel ones do, but when run at their specified level AMD almost always has the best price/performance ratio. Hopefully the upcoming year will be as promising in the processor sector as 2003 was!"

Re:This article is a bunch of crap.

[Pros_n_Cons]

I bought a 2.8ghz recently and just made it a 3.1ghz running at 33C. That's pretty damn good.
the case isn't even that good, not aluminum and only has two fans. It can be set to 3.6 ghz but I doubt I'll ever take it there until programs require it in a few years. thats a sound investment to me. Sqeeze another year or two off your processor.

Yes I'm an intel fanboy, my last chip was a 233 I bought in 97, thats almost 7 years of use. I'll stick with intel aslong as that kind of quality is achieved.
