Intel's chipsets are done on 90nm ( X38/P35/P965 ) or 130nm ( 975 ).
Excuses, excuses...

AMD makes 90nm CPU's with IMC which you compare to Intel's 65nm CPU's withouth an IMC.

Now you are saying that Intel chipsets carry the extra weight of an MC and being produced on 90nm compared to AMD's RD790 which has no MC and you seem to belive is made on process smaller then 90nm. You are saying this comparison is not vaild yet everyone here uses that comparison when CPU's are involved.

RD790 is going to be a better chipset then X38 and it will run cooler so learn to deal with it because thats just the way things are.


DoubleZero, do your self a favour when you come from your "holiday" and add ShIntel to your ignore list it helps alot trust me.
