Well that's one bookmark deleted.Apparently he likes Intel and no other product will get a honest review.

Sorry I have nothing productive to add to this post, it's just anytime anyone even attempts to critique one of Hard's reviews, he or she is either banned or must be retarded to even think of questioning him.

what a load of BS - i've witnessed that myself - kyle will close the door on you quick if you try to dispute what he says.

LOL, Kyle is just like Skeeter in South Park:
"We don't take kindly to AMD around here, if you don't like Hardocp, you can GIT OUT!!!:ROTF:

Wow...

A $300 Phenom vs two Intel Extreme Editions... How about a nice benchmark around the same price point. Same with gaming, say a single HD4870 or such.

Oh well, that's why when you are looking a product you look at numerous reviews rather than going off of the first one you read.

Man, Kyle really sucks. I know [H] "reviews" are usually bad, but I think this is a new level of "bad" that we hadn't seen previously. WTF?

If you wanna talk about immaturity, seeing some posters from that thread coming to XS just to whine about it - yeah good idea there.

That is one of the worst things I have ever read! To bench systems on such an un level playing field is just, well, astonishing. Then to let the IFB's come in and flame everything AMD, and to ban anyone that had anything negative to say about his review, is even more appauling.

I think Kyle may be spending too much time under Intels desks!

Heh. I got an confirmation that maroon1, the OP, indeed is an troll. He seems to be fierce Intel fanboy in another forum(tech-forums). The thread was made to provoke. It should be closed.

So long as we're having fun with it (we seem to be) and remain civil (we have so far), why not keep it going? Instead of going at each other, we've all just been making fun of HardOCP collectively. If this was a troll attempt, it failed. lol

I dont think it was meant to provoke, otherwise he would be here provoking something? Maybe he has spent too much time over there, and hasnt read any other reviews. If he is trolling, he isnt doing a very good job of it.

That may as well be the case,but the thread is fun since more and more people bring out funny and embarrassing stuff about Kyle and hardO(n)cp :D.

in my opinion:

another reason to buy AMD is because you know the user community will be free of :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::b anana:s like kyle and his "so biased how the :banana::banana::banana::banana: did this get posted on the front page being sponsored by companies" reviews

I think people are being slightly sensitive. His conclusions in the review seem to be bang on.

1.) Can overclock well compared to last generation Phenoms

3.) Many improvements over last generation Phenoms in general.

4.) Good as a drop-in upgrade for existing AM2+ users.

5.) Core2Quad still likely a better buy if you're starting from the ground up.

6.) Slower than Core2Quad and i7.

:shrug:

I think most people are upset by his statement: "Phenom II is a loser." Maybe that was a little extreme.

Agree, And recent price cuts make his points more relevant.

Kyle suxz Intel dik big time! I really hate review sites that are biased and full of :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:. The things I hate the most is people that blatently player hate, lie, and steal. Kyle fits the bill of two of these aspects.:down: I'd believe Fud or Inq over anything from Hardcop....I haven't been to that place since the quake/quack situation.

See, told you there were people who would defend the HardOCP review.

If you would open [H] or care about what they say it is your fault anyway (even thought PII wouldn't convince me )
