Intel's Core 2 Desktop Processors Tested
Steve Kerrison writes "It's early morning here in the UK, but that doesn't stop us from being around to see the launch of Conroe and friends, Intel's newest desktop chips. Even a $180 Intel CPU can beat an Athlon FX-62 in a number of tests. Now that's bound to get the fanboy blood pumping, right? We've also taken a look at a pre-built system that's powered by the Extreme X6800 CPU, along with an nForce 4 SLI chipset. As you'd expect, it's quick."
...and Merom, I don't care. I'm saving my joys for a new OSX86 platform.

Well, My PC really needs something not ordinary to make it function well. Now after cleaning the messes I had it is just as if a new PC. However not long ago my Printer is not working anymore, it magic! I also purchased software to remove adware but not luck.

First off, why in the world would you turn on power saving modes when benchmarking for performance? The emphasis on the test was to determine which processors performed best playing games at their highest settings.
Next, Kyle closes the article suggesting for future proofing to buy an Intel. He does state that if you already have a high end AMD to not bother as the difference isn't noticable.
The one thing I take away from the article is that Intel has finally met AMD. It no longer is AMD is for gaming and Intel for everything else. For the lifetime of the P4 it has always been AMD leading the pack, when it comes to gaming computers and price points.
Also, since he already gives the FX price why should he repeat it. His comparisons of the price points for the two Intel chips was to make the reader aware that the performance difference doesn't warranted the price difference. He closed out the article with the statement supporting Intel.
What more do you want? Hey, we can all find bias whereever we want, too many of you go out of your way to do so

Dear Israel,
Please lay waste to the Arab Muslim world. The rest of us, like yourself, have grown weary of their cross-border sniping and then crying foul when they reap the consequences of their irresponsible actions. We're also tired of their anti-civilization worldview. The rest of the world doesn't want to live like Fred Flintstone, which is what happens when onerous Muslim religious laws are allowed to become the law of the land. We've also grown weary of their persecution complex and taking offense at every single perceived slight. I don't care if a cartoon depiction which accurately depicts the Bitch Mohammed with a bomb for a turban offends Muslims. The rest of civilization is offended by the public slaughter of Theo Van Gogh and the constant death threats spewing from the mouths of ignorant Muslims towards apostates from their burdensome religion and towards anyone who raises valid criticisms about their worldview which was outdated hundreds of years ago. Please bomb the shit out of their tows and cities until only ashes remain.
Thank you,
Those citizens of the world who desire progress and peaceful coexistence - two things which are antithetical to the Muslim world view
