Quad Core Round Up: AMD Vs Intel Clock to Clock(deneb vs agena + deneb vs intel)

[T_Flight]

That pretty much confirms what I already knew. A complete slaughter. I hope I'm wrong, but from where I'm sitting I'm seeing the end of AMD, and the beginning of huge price increases and complete market takeover.

They needed to launch a competitive product, and instead launched something that is basically competing with 3 generation old technology. I knew it was bad, but I never would've dreamed they fall even further behind like this with so much at stake.

Man, this has me totally bummed out now. <sigh> Damn, I'm shocked. I am so shocked I suspended in disbelief right now. Man, I've been fired up all day and on top of the world, and I wish I had never seen that. If I thought it would help I'd just buy an ATi card and a CPU just to help, but I can't buy enough of them alone. It's gonna take more than there are of us even. It's gonna take Joe Public too in the Million's to help them out it.

I don't know...I'm rambling becasue I'm beside myself right now wondering how things got this dang bad.

you cant call that a slaughter considering amd beat the i7 in a few benches and tied it in a few more.

just because someone's product isn't the performance leader doesn't mean they aren't competitive at all. deneb looks good and with some more reviews and different benchmarks it will tell a lot more. the chip looks to have a lot of overclocking headroom as well.

It has often been said that Intel can't afford to let AMD fail completely because the Federal Govt would then classify them as a monopoly and then interfere with them.

I wonder how much truth there is to that point of view?

I would still wait till some other reviews show up before declaring a "complete slaughter", but it is increasingly looking like AMD's fate depends on what Intel wants to do with them.

Hmm, desktop comparisons are well and good but AMD's fate will be decided by how their server model competes with nehalem xeon parts.

How do you work that out?

They can't get by forever just on the server market, not with the make up and cost structure they currently have.
