Phenom IIs, Core I7-920 Win Out In Value Analysis
An anonymous reader writes "We've all seen processor benchmarks, but how do today's enthusiast CPUs look when you account for performance per dollar? Using a smorgasbord of charts, scatter plots, and performance tests, The Tech Report attempted to single out the highest-value offerings out of 16 popular Intel and AMD processors. The results might surprise you: AMD's 45nm Phenom IIs (both triple- and quad-core) prove to be strikingly competitive with Intel's Core 2 Quads. And, on the high end, Intel's $266 Core i7-920 turns out to be a compelling step up despite the higher costs of Core i7 platforms in general."
which one is more more secure?
0/0 gives me a headache. Have to keep carrying the zero.
The world is made by those who show up for the job.
I love you.
Skiffy is Spiffy, but Ort is tort.
Phenom IIs is a plural.
Yes, yes, we all know that from grade school. But what happens when AMD launches a "Phenom IIs"
The reason the apostrophe is inappropriately used is because it works. When people see Phenom II's, they pronounce it correctly -and- the ambiguity is removed as to whether the "s" is part of the name.
That is, until AMD releases the "Phenom II's"
Damn.
We need an escape character for natural languages!
Intel shits the bed running in 64 bit mode.
Is that a good thing?
"Welcome to our world. We are the wasted youth. And we are the future too." Yes, I know these are stupid lyrics.
Slashdot's seemingly-ridiculous problems with non-ASCII characters are simply a safeguard against displaying the nullity character, which would cause the universe to implode.
