LMAO! That is so true...I have been in local computer stores and listened to uneducated people being scammed into believing that P4 desktops and laptops are better than anything AMD has to offer. He also went as far as calling AMD a worthless company that sells worthless CPUs (odds are he was being paid to say those things because what real computer person would make such a blatant lie. Intel may be better in somethings that AMD is not and vice versa, but to call AMD garbage is just not very computer geeky).
I just get strange looks when I start to gag, wheeze, and cough *bull sh!7!* then walk away.
I have also talked several people into not purchasing a computer that says "Intel Inside" because the place that sells these computers they have internet connections (stupid them) and I go to sites and show these customers the benchmarks that compare the two CPU types. About six or seven times the people I showed the benchmarks to walked out with an AMD64.
Umm...the performance benefit of that 2MB L2 cashe is not that much better than 1MB. It is maybe a 3-7% increase in performance. Granted that is Intel vs. Intel not Intel vs. AMD since AMD just released this CPU. AMD CPUs have usually shown better efficiency when it has come down to computation power with 512kb and 1MB L2 cashe and Intel has had troubles even with 2MB L2 cashe due to the memory controler being on the motherboard and not on the CPU.
If AMD were to up their L2 cashe to 2MB or higher, the performance gain would probably be about the same as Intel's, 3-7% increase per 1MB increase.
We will see who the real mobile CPU winner is once we get some benchmarks to compare, but until then we are all speculating as to which CPU is better.
Ah, so Intel is gonna require customers to purchase a new motherboard before they think about using dual-core CPU's, how quaint.
So, AMD's dual-core CPU's won't be spectacular until next year sometime, but they will be pretty good this year.
Isn't Intel making new socket sizes for their new CPU's? I thought I read that somewhere that Intel was not going to keep their current socket sets for their Dual-core CPU's. Anyone know?
I know AMD is gonna keep their 940 and 939 Socket sets for their Dual-core CPU's.
