Anand Reviews Athlon 64 FX-53
trickofperspective writes "Anandtech has a review of AMD's latest processor, the Athlon 64 FX-53. Long story short -- the FX-53 is a "very solid processor," but you'd be better off waiting a couple months for Socket 939."
you know it. i know it. that motherfucking post was on topic (he's going to go get a new AMD proc....**GASP!** yes, the very one IN the story)....off topic my cock.
blow me, michael.
It's unnecessary as some of us don't need that crap in our machines. Unless this part of the chip is upgradable, for free, quickly, then what good does it do when a new one comes out?
Virus/worm/fuck protection is up to the people to use. Manu's can put all this shit into products and put it out there but that doesn't mean dick when the viruses get more virulent and the people don't use them...
"Tom's review is here."
Why bother? Is this just to show how well you can rig benchmarks with enough driver vetting and settings tweaking? All you have to do to get the Tom's results is to take every other reviewer's work, reduce the AMD chips' performance a bit, add to the Intel chips' performance a bit, and then create a conclusion to support Intel's total dominance, power, and magnificance, regardless of what the (tweaked/rigged) benchmarks show.
