Could B3 Phenom be the rebirth of AMD....+1000MHZ OC done!

[stocius]

I don't really think AMD really died, they just screwed up their PR and look like they're mismanaged in a major way. I remember fanboy BS from circa 2000 that AMD "stole" all of Intel's designs blah, blah, blah. Seriously, it's OK to have opinions but I'm real tired of all the negativity towards the phenom (and fanboyism in general). intel took a few tries to get to the Core 2 Duo architecture alright. Anyone remember Pentium D or Core architecture? Those weren't nearly as good as Core 2.

Benchmarks are great, but I don't think they tell the whole story (though I don't doubt the efficacy of benchmarks), personally I like to rate PCs by how they feel and move (which are partly subjective observations) regarless of paper specs and benchies. I know somebodies gonna insert insult...here, but that's my opinion. Ranting and raving aside, I would like to thank you, Tony, for your efforts and objectivity in this thread.
