Should Amd Give Me A Hard On?!?!?!

[NickS]

Umm, why not? Northwood's are a helluva lot more efficient than Prescott's will ever be.

No they aren't??

I think the Prescott with 4x more L2 cache and higher bus speed is gonna do better in Photoshop than that precious Northwood

 

[NickS]

Prescott: 31 Stage Pipe, 800MHz FSB/1066MHz FSB, 1MB L2

Northwood: 20 or 21 Stage Pipe, 800MHz FSB, 512k L2

Hmm.....

Northwood's also run at 1/3 the temp.

 

[enVias]

AMD64 can only be compared to Prescott-2M's..

Prescott-2M: 31 Stage Pipe, 800MHz FSB/1066MHz FSB, 2MB L2

Northwood: 20 or 21 Stage Pipe, 533MHz FSB/800MHz FSB, 512k L2

Temp has nothing to do with it.

 

[NickS]

Meh the 2MB L2 does NOTHING. It's been proven. The core cannot take advantage of it cuz It's just junk. Netburst is dead. Move on Intel!

Net burst was the ****** shit back then. Not no more.

The core can take advantage of it, why don't you go try Photoshop on my comp before saying shit like that.

 

[NickS]

If only I could.

ur calling his cpu junk... that's mean and tbh man, you would NOT be saying this before you got your amd rig

 

[NickS]

By the time I was done with my Intel rig |3ourne had told me time and time again AMD was better. So, yes, I would have.

 

[enVias]

You've all gotten what you wanted.

Yes, we have

|3ourne is building an Intel rig I'll have you know

Going back a few years, any other CPU than an Intel was seen as second best, and only to be bought if you couldn't afford "the real thing". Things have changed a lot in the past 2 years, and now AMD seem to be increasing popular.

Dell have announced very recently that they're going to release a range of PC's with AMD CPU's. So, if the world largest direct computer manufacturer/reseller thinks they're good enough to go in their PC's, they should be good enough for most people!

I've got 2 PC's (& a notebook.... & 3 Ipaqs..... And a fancy mobile phone.... and a flash car.... and a miserable wife..JK...) both PC's have AMD CPU's. Athlon 64 3200+ and a Sempron 2800. They're good. Never had a problem.

AMD simply kick Intels ass at the moment. Great processors

/me "goes advanced"

:amd: = :worship: :intel: = :0wned:
