Intel Core 2 Duo Vs. AMD AM2
ThinSkin writes, "ExtremeTech has an extensive performance roundup across the entire line of Intel Core 2 Duo and AMD AM2 CPUs, from the cheap to the ultra-high end. Both companies bring five processors to the table, ranging from $152 to $1,075, with the mid-range CPUs boasting the best in price/performance. From the article: 'It's clear that Intel's Core 2 Duo lineup offers superior performance across the product line when compared with AMD's Athlon 64. In some applications, even a lower-cost Core 2 Duo can outperform some of the higher-end Athlon 64s.'" The ExtremeTech article is spread over 10 ad-laden pages. You can read it all on the printer-friendly page, but you'll miss out on the pretty graphs.
Processors have become a commodity. You buy as much processor performance as you need or can afford. The Intel and AMD processors are all great right now...well all except the old Intel P4 and Celeron stuff but that will be mostly gone in a few months anyway. Move along...there's no story here.
AMD's current range of CPUs can't get anywhere near intel core 2 and AMD are now dead in the water. Everyone knows that except the AMD fanboys.
64bit benchmarks???!? how many 64bit applications are you running/ are there in usful production?
everyone's got the 64bit crazy Ive had 64bit technology a long time can you say risc?
Intel wipes the floor with AMD!!! And while doing so it generates significantly less heat than AMDs!
So, where have all the AMD fanboys gone? I remember there was a lot of you here on slashdot! Take that dickwads! Shovel that AMD64 crap up in your ass!
Get a real life job? I hate that argument, that the only way to keep a website going is with ads. Running a website is usually a hobby, and hobbies usually cost, or at least don't make a profit.
I realize I'm a day late, and probably no on'll read my comment...
