that is probably the stupidest/dumbest thing i have heard in a long time. plzdie: oOo: |
Depends how you look at it, theres a lot of people that will buy intel simply for the fact its intel. And to the average buyer an intel cpu thats advertised as 3ghz will seem to be faster than an amd cpu running at 2.8 or so.
Hyperthreadings also an advantage, amd cpu's can choke when running multiple apps, intels remain smooth because of hyperthreading.
When it comes to overclocking intel decimates amd cpu's, a 1ghz overclock or more is possible with certain p4's, i don't know if its possible for an amd cpu to even get half that without going to phase change cooling which is pretty expensive compared to common watercooling for a p4.
Ive had both brands, amd and intel, considering an amd next time around just for a change. they both have their plus points and negatives, i can't really say one completly "owns" the other because its not the case. |
that is all true, but then you can take the FX-57, compare it to whatever the top is for intel and it totally beats it in most game tests. |
It may beat it in some game tests but if you're already getting a playable framerate does it really matter? Its just bragging rights really. Its like a 6800 getting 200fps in call of duty and an x800 getting 170 fps in call of duty, both are well over 60 fps so anything extra is basically for bragging rights.
If you spend all day running 3d mark then its something to be concerned about, if not then it doesn't make much difference in real life situations i don't think.
