lol... ok stick with a company that has a history of good products....

oh yeah remember that whole 486 SX and 486 DX thing? I doubt you do or didn't realize you were taking it up the ass from intel back then but here we go:

Situation: 486 computers are the fastest things out with their blazing fast speeds of ~33Mhz. Most computers come with an Intel 80486 SX processor with no math processing unit (speeds up some rendering, not like you could do much with a 486 anyways, but oh well).

Your options were that you could buy either a math coprocessing unit, the 80487 (i think), or you could replace the SX with an expensive 80486 DX that came with a math processing unit built in, that is, if your motherboard was compatible.

Guess what Intel conveniently didn't tell you. The 487 was actually a DX chip that turned off the main CPU and took over it's processing job. Nedless to say a bunch of people fell for that trick.

Back to modern times now. Yall are talking about a company pioneering technology and whatnot. What socket motherboards were first coming out with compatible with those fast PCIe graphics cards? no, not Intel's 478, not 775, but AMD's 939. Guess which socket nVidia chose to implement SLI in first? AMD's 939. I dunno, unless you want to call Asus, nVidia, Epox, DFI, Gigabyte, Biostar, Chaintech, ECS, Foxconn, Soltek, and MSI stupid (btw these companies produces the OEM boards for your shitty Dells), go ahead, cause you know, the biggest segment of the motherboard market totally doesn't know what they are doing.

Nobody paired PCIe with an Intel motherboard for a while. DDR2 was still being perfected (and still is...)

OH MY GOD CAN YOU READ!?! I GROUPED THE PROCESSORS BY PERFORMANCE, AND USED BENCHMARKS TO PROVE IT, THEN COMPARED THE PRICE.


in most cases the intel processor is outperformed by its AMD counterpart, which is $20-$100 cheaper. have a happy thanksgiving

bbcode is your friend...maybe then people would read it. Otherwise, I'll continue to skim over (skimming is when you look over but don't read entirely) it and see two numbers having an Intel being cheaper.

Maybe you should try reading then you'd notice I said I'm not about to touch your AMD optimized benchmarks, or any specalized benchmark at all for that matter...hope your Thanksgiving as as happy as mine was.

whatever. AMD optimized benchmarks? a bunch of benchmarks used SSE2 and 3, which Intel used for a while, but then AMD incorporated it. the playing feild is level.

Benchmarks will always be either Intel or AMD bias...until they actually use the same motherboard, which will most likely never happen anyway~
