well obviously a pentium 2 isn't that competitive performance wise.

*Breaking News*
Fugger will be present in 2 weeks for an Nvidia demonstration on overlocking one of their GPU's to 8Ghz on Liquid Helium Cooling.
Wait, what? Oh, Fugger here is your notice/invintation ;)
All I want to know is, does he get to keep the cpu? :D
The most surprised guy here would be none other than FUGGER himself. :D
OMG The news of AMD and Intels response actually has sparked me to to read XS again and to be excited once again about OCing. Looks like the fun in OCing may come back for me with this competetion and all the possiblilities. :woot:
I don't understand how any enthusiast can be upset about this, Unless they are hardcore fanboys? Is this not the competition we have been looking for? Is it a bad thing that Intel and AMD are taking an interest it ocing? Its just like porsche and Nissan trying to get the fastest around the ring, Good sport.
hm I guess I missed that news about massive phenomII overclocking..
However didnt kingpin get a skulltrail system to 6.6 ghz several months back? Whats the big deal with a single cpu hitting 6ghz :O. There were even some p4's hitting around 8ghz, am I not right?
I dont really get it :x. This move seems a bit childish oO.
But why not, it could help the enthusiast at the end, so might as well go for it :D. Slap that i7 Fugger :)
So you are saying that Intel should stop trying to take the enthusiast market in case it hurts the sales of deneb? You do realise that Intel and AMD are company's don't you, Both would kill a kitten for an extra buck so its hardly a surprise that Intel want to steal deneb sales, Is it?
I suppose you were equally vocal about AMD going to every Intel conference and handing out books called "dual cores for dummy's" Or the "dual core dual" or the times square add about how much electricity Intel wasted etc etc etc etc.
These are fair in my book because AMD is a business and has to take sales from its competitor so don't set the morals bar to high.
Oh my! That avatar... its good old kassler who got owned and kicked around at HardForum. :ROTF:
That wasn't what I said, I informed about competition. Of course they do what they can to promote their products.
Trying to pretend that this is some sort of competition rather than plain marketing is an insult to others intelligence.
If Intel want real competition then they probably know that it needs some sort of rules etc, maybe they have visit some sports event and learned how it is done there?
Sports arent the best example. There is no fair competition as long as money or big recognition are involved. Its simply impossible.
Watch "Bigger, stronger, faster", it kind of illustrates my point :). Its a nice movie as well, shows a lot of hillariously ridiculous cases ;).
So Amd's overclocking stunt had nothing to do with them trying to get people to hold off on buying i7 and wait to see how deneb overclocks? It seems that Amd knows they can't beat Intel clock for clock, so instead they are now pushing the we can overclock better card. Nothing wrong with Intel responding to this challenge is there?
Of course it was and I think it was a very smart move too. Hurting the contender on the contenders backyard is probably where it hurts most. Just the reaction from Intel here is proof enough for that. I think that the budget Intel is spending to counter this attack may be rather large. And I think they will use whatever trick they can to make it work for them. They probably need some time for this, and the CES 2009 when deneb should be released may be time enough.
If the processor is able to clock know, then it would be very easy for them to remove the focus from AMD just by inviting some people and show it.

Its truly a rare sight to see Kyle do that... :D
Amd has always been very brash since the atholon X2 days when they challenged Intel to some sort of benchmarking competition. Then the "We have a true quad" fiasco as well as the "dummy" book. It seems to me that they initiated all these challenges so why shouldn't Intel respond to the challenge? Because Intel is too big and has more resources?
