Ah no, this is getting difficult to read, I have been reading since page one and only commented a few times but I really want to make this point.....
I need to start by asking "how many years ago did AMD have a better chip than Intel?"
1999??
There is so much negative talk and speculation pointing towards how rubbish bulldozer will be if it cant beat sandy bridge. OK, it would be awesome to see an amazing SB killer but so many people are missing the point that AMD for so long have been miles away from Intel, it has taken AMD a year or two to catch up in terms of performance (as in AMD's 'current chips' always perform as well as Intels 2 year old chips...... I hope everyone will agree that a 2 year lag in terms of technology (running at the rate it has in recent years) is a MASSIVE gap.
The point I am trying to make is that if AMD equal or even get close to equaling SB then they have done an amazing job, jumping from 2 years behind to 6 months.
Wow, what an achievementespecially for a company that has something like 10% of the corporate power of Intel.
Please stop getting into arguments about whether it scores 100 more points in a benchmark and appreciate the fact that AMD are back in it, we all love AMD on this thread and it is obvious so lets put our hands together for a company who will deliver at least on par performance with intels current stock at 50 - 25% less price (thats including the extreme pices of intel MBs)
Top job AMD, even if it is late, its a massive achievement to catch up 2 years and respect to you
Edit: I was aiming the relevance of this post to past posts, not the most recent that arent so pessimistic!
