    Congratulations!! The typical bunch has derailed yet another thread!



    Everyone just grow up. Intel fanboys, please stop trashing every AMD thread there is. AMD fanboys, don't get sucked into it and participate in trashing your own threads. Ignore the comments that are obviously made to just stir up trouble.

    Like my dad always told me when I was younger and got in a fight with my bro, it takes two to pick a fight.

    I must laugh when I see some of the tripe that is allowed in the AMD forum.

    In the Intel section many of the people that have posted their garbage in this forum would have been warned within minutes of posting. Actually they probably would just got the banhammer.

    But seriously. Awhile ago we had a lot of people that would post that the Phenom couldn't match the Q6600 using wording like: "The best AMD has can't compete with the cheapest Intel has". That was a very popular Intel fanboy tactic. Sadly many accepted it without question.

    Now only an idiot would actually claim that. But now I see: "The PHII 940 can't compete with the Q9400" posts on various forums. So now the base argument has appeared to have changed. But the Q9400 is not enough... the Q9550 is much closer to the PHII 940.

    Luckily the PHII has no problem with beating the Q9400. Now it is actually pushing the Q9550 around in performance. But the PHII has a better architecture. Go figure. But the Q series chips use an older obsolete design.

    Of course then you'll still see the "clock per clock" argument. But that was not valid even when it was first brought up.

    You must compare chips that COST about the same. Period. If one is clocked slower... WHO CARES. Does one chip beat the other. Answer yes or no now. DON'T WAIT FOR THE TRANSLATION.

    Especially when one overclocks more than the other; to the point that any "clock per clock" argument means absolutely nothing. What can the PHII do versus the Q9550 on good cooling.

    Sorry I am into my cups tonight. But I still can't swallow the tripe we are fed by some of these people.

    Good to see all of you other guys expressing your thoughts on this constant AMD News Thread Kicking and bashing as its getting quite old and I a myself am sick and tired of it!

    My stance has nothing what so ever to do with AMD/Intel its the Principal of the matter that infuriates me to no end and the Blue team just still wont acknowledge that this is the sole reason why most of us are madder then hell over this situation. Yes and we all watch the mods allow this to continue and sanction these Thread Crappers and Flame Baiters but god forbid victims of the issue vocal their opinion on the matter.......God Forbid!

    When are you high and Mighty (Which is in Your Heads) Intel Fan Boys gonna just be respectful of others preferrences , Like , Dislikes and feelings for christ sakes?
    The reason its called a PC is because it stands for........."Personal Computer" and that means Personal Preference.

    All of the usual's are full of crap and they know it! They don't come into the AMD News Section Threads for any other reason then to do what we have been claiming has been going on for over a year now....and you know what? That makes you bad people and Maybe you should reflect on the Bad Person statement above anything else. We are all just sick of your constant Psycho Babble its not Funny!

    I don't see what you would need to apologise for in respect of the above text.

    What you have said here is perfectly reasonable.

    Actually, it will do worse than yorkfield-12 in most real life apps both in air and water. But that is not the point, it is again irrelevant with the thread.

    I have to say though, there are certain intel fans that routinely go and bash/troll AMD related threads. I fail to understand their motives, I can certainly see though that they are degrading the value of XS tech discussions and offering nothing more than problems. As a long time XS lurker I find this revolting.

    To all fanboys, intel or AMD, grow up or shut up. Its that simple, you are killing XS.

    Now, can we get on topic please?
