No need for flames, I only gave facts!

Then this one will. RIGHT NOW, Deneb is ahead for my next upgrade! Not because some mis-informed writer. Not because of some misplace Fan loyalty, but from common sense. Example. AMD ships a 2.7GHz X4 Deneb that's the same clock for clock speed as an Intel i7-920. Let's say the benchmarks show AMD has similar performance. Unless Intel can blow them away (I doubt BTW) AMD has a great case for improved sales. IF they ship it with a similar price they'll do well IMHO. I'd buy one if they did. They'll already have cheaper RAM and Motherboards. Less memory bandwidth? Since most Desktop apps don't depend on it now and in the foreseeable future it will still not matter in most cases. Running 8 threads and heavy multitasking isn't that important to me either That's why I'm using a Wolfdale right now.

If things don't improve with the economy though, unfortunately neither will get my business.
