I dont know where you guys get your info but every comparison i have ever seen, and done myself, has shown that amd is faster, amd dual core cpu's beat intel in every possible test, amd has always and will always be faster, better quality and better priced then intel, intel might as well be microsoft.

I thinks it's time to open the next poll

Your next Graphics cad will be:
ATI / nVIDIA / Intel (giggles) / no clue

Just bought a radeon x1950 about a week ago and im very pleased with it, i think ill be sticking to ati from now on, nvidia's starting to suck anyways, but microsoft could ruin even the best product.

blindartist, i would like to add something.

the test you posted showed AMD's X2 versus the PENTIUM D, not the Core 2 series. Compare the core 2's with the X2's then it will be fair

But again, i'm not against AMD. My dad bought an HD2600 Pro for his AMD comp and it runs fine, i just wished that people like blindartist stopped posting shit that compares Pentium D's with X2's which aint fair .

The comparison is price based, thats the garbage that intel is selling you for that price, if you want to go with core 2 prices then comapire that to similar priced amd processors and youll notice the amd once again wins.

Whatever, I've had more problems with my AMD platforms than any other Intel systems i've EVER had.

blindartist · September 18th, 2007, 12:13 AM

i have yet to have even one probelm with an amd system, their solid, if your having issues then its not the fact that its an amd system that's the problem

Ok AMD do offer the best bang for buck but even the mid range core2duo's out perform the fastest chips AMD has to offer but then again your bound to prove me wrong

Jeez I never thought I would end up defending Intel but I just hate blind fanboyism and Im sorry I dragged myself into this debate. I usually steer clear of these squabbles.

A good debate is always welcome and of course on the information you posted is correct as it has been mentioned a few times in this thread. AMD is the best bang for the buck but Intel has always held an edge in true performance. After the AMD acquisition of ATI products for both lines are running behind schedule and some disappointments on those that have been released.

AMD needs to pull there socks up in 2008 or polls like these won't be needed
