    Amd Or Intel?

    in Computer Desk

    Posted

    You're missing the point that it's a 64-bit...it hasn't been out long and of course it's still going to be in development, the fact that amd have a 64 when intel don't is precisely the point, and the fact that Intels are stuck at 100fsb is yet another point. The amount of work amds do per clock cycle beats the crap outta intels, which means you can get the same power out of a much lower clock speed, hence the fact that they clock as well as intels mean they do better overall in both respects.

    Um...I don't think I missed the point. I understand that AMD has a 64 out.

    Your diagnostic of CPU only is only partially correct, if a pc only reliad on the CPU, AMD would have it hands down, but, Intel chips (Newest) run at 800 FSB (200 Quad Pumped) This allows two main things to happen, one: RAM can run at 400FSB in a true Dual Channel Mode, Second: Page File can access the CPU faster, almost 2x the speed of a 400FSB AMD.

    Like I said before, AMD and Intel are both good. Just be happy they are competing.

    How am I wrong? For audio, the only pentium that doesn't beat all athlons (and only getting beat by an overclocked athlon at that) in audio encoding is 2.8. For video, the pentiums are still faster, though not by as large a margin.

    The 2.8 costs $196 at newegg, the 3.06 costs 265, and the athlons cost at the most 220 (32bit) or vary varying prices for the 64's: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?...20&Order=priceD

    Now again, where was I wrong? I never mentioned price you know...

    I hope you noticed, the AMD 64 had to be overclocked to stay with the Intels in that Report. Don't go believing Tom's Hardware too much. I find a lot of thier columns questionable. Like hiding an overclocked CPU in a test and putting small print that it was over clocked, hoping no one would see it.

    This is easy.  AMD.  I have three intel computers myself and i still go for AMD.  I have never had an AMD, but i would still say that an AMD is better and this is why:

    1.  AMD processors are more efficient and faster than intel processors.

    2.  AMD processors are more affordable than intel processors.

    3.  AMD processors are overclockable and intel processors aren't.

    4.  AMD processors are generally are more technologically advanced than intel processors of higher specs.

    5.  AMD processors are better at processing graphics than intel processors.

    That sounds about right.  Too bad i have only intel processors.  I am not saying that intel sucks, i am just saying that they are not as good as leading AMD processors. :D

    You know, every forum I belong to, this debate goes on and on.

    I have two AMDs:

    Athlon XP 2600+

    Asus A7N8X Delux MOBO

    Barton 2500+ @ 2300Mhz

    Soltek MOBO

    I have three Intel:

    P4 2.2A

    Asus MOBO

    P4 2.4C @ 3600Mhz (3.6Ghz)

    Asus P4P800 Dlx MOBO

    P4 3.2C

    Asus P4C800 Delux MOBO :(

    To Say one over clocks better than anouther, is simply not true. They both do very well.

    Cheers!

    Well, time to run some tests:

    Download Ad Aware 6 from http://www.download.com make sure you update it, then run the program to scan your system. Follow instructions.

    Open Task Manager and see how many processes are running, should not be more than 12-15.

    Turn off unneccesary applications in control panel\admin services\services

    Hi All,

    Coming in 2004:

    -Motherboards are changing form factor to a sleeker design, promises to run cooler than present.

    -Since the introduction of SATA Hard Drives and RAID controller, manufacturers are promising Serial ATA Generation 2. This will replace the current SATAs that run at 150Mbps with a 300Mbps version.

    PCI-x release date is sometime early summer.

    NVidia is promising a new line of DX9 compatible (no software cheat) line of cards

    Should be a fun year.
