Intel kicking AMD to the curb?
fohfoh:
Yeah.. but no one gives a shit about desktops.Those are MEANT to be abused.
What was a T3400 supposed to clock at? What bios "updates" brought it to 2.0Ghz. (I know my T7200 has been running 2.0 since 2005 or 2006 so)

a. Overclocking is about bragging rights and e-penis.
b. You don't need the extra performance. Even if you do it's not worth it.
c. Moderate OC is not OC and is for pussies. Real man does Extreme OC(TM).
Make up your fucking mind and try again.

Those intel CPUs have 2X and 3X the Cache of the AMD competitor. You're paying for that - do you know how expensive that cache is?
By design, the cache preloads code into the CPU - the on-CPU cache executes far faster than RAM, far faster than anything your system has. By design, these CPUs run much faster than the AMD counterpart.
For the amount of cache they have on hand, this only proves to me there is nothing superior about the design of the CPU. The only thing Intel has done, is made a larger line of CPUs with big cache. That's all they're doing.
I've got to look into Opterons vs Intel. B/c, just logically - by what I see on the numbers of these CPUs - something's fishy. ( Fishy as in - let me equate this to cars. Lexus vs Mercedes. IMO - Mercedes > Lexus easy. So - Lexus - instead of comparing them to Mercedes, will compare themselves to Ford Focus - and say, "look how good we are!" )
I shall augment my argument by providing this completely irrelevant link:

On opterons vs. i7 xeons - intel still doesn't produce a good multisocket platform and has rather poor support for third party coprocessors.
Until QPI matures, AMD will remain on top at the high end.

You know what, screw all of you. I'm gonna go back on my Pentium II and overclock that shit with my 128 MB Memory, Mobo video card. Raw power. Beat that shit. :D
