Dual-Core Shoot Out - Intel vs. AMD
sebFlyte writes "The Intel vs AMD battle of the benchmarks continues. ZDNet is running its rather comprehensive-looking guide to a side-by-side test of Intel and AMD's dual-core desktop chips, the Athlon 64 X2 3200+ and the Pentium D 820. They look at pure performance, as well as the difference it makes to apps you might use on the desktop. In the end, AMD comes out as the winner. From the article: 'AMD currently offers the most attractive dual core option. The Athlon 64 X2 3800+ may cost $87 more than its Intel counterpart, the Pentium D 820, but the AMD chip is a much better performer. It also uses considerably less power.'"
- Cheap
- Fast
- Low power consumption
Pick any two.On se Internetz nobody noes your German.
The result of troll incest is quite amusing.
You must be new here...
Ahh the AMD wins overall in performance but can it cook make me a sunny side up egg as fast as the intel :P
GL HF!
I read somewhere recently that 'more watts used' = 'more powerful'
Ignore anything I said above, I actually agree with everything you believe - mod accordingly.
That's why you install two hard drives to match the dual cores - then you run the antivirus/spyware scanner on the one that you're not using - i.e. the one without your OS and programs.
He's got thirteen channels of wrestling
Comin' in strong from a satellite send
A two hundred function remote control
Big screen TV with stereo
Football, baseball, nascar too
With picture in a picture it's all in view
And if it comes on just a little too late
With his VCR's he'll get it on tape.
He's a high-tech redneck
Mayberry meets Startrek
He's a bumpkin' but he's plugged in
He's a high-tech redneck.

He's got twenty sub-woofers in the back of his truck
A thousand watts of power and he keeps it cranked up
He ain't into hip hop, he ain't into rap
He likes to rattle them speakers with Ronnie Milsap
CD cassette digital tape, CB radar and scannin' short wave
And if he needs to talk to his honey at home
He just dials up her number on his cellular phone
He's a high-tech redneck
Mayberry meets Startrek
He's a bumpkin' but he's plugged in
He's a high-tech redneck.

Mayberry meets Startrek

Do I know what the hell HEMI even means?
Yeah, it means that the combustion chamber is hemispherical - woo. If you go truck shopping, reliability will likely be a bigger issue. As an aside, do ricer rednecks stick HEMI stickers on their 1/4 ton toyota trucks?
"We returned the General to El Salvador, or maybe Guatemala, it's difficult to tell from 10,000 feet"
Cool. The PC BIOS was really starting to look old. I guess people with cars that use OpenFirmware won't be able to laugh so much anymore...
