AMD Zambezi news, info, fans !

thats just marketing, i have yet to see a single commercial about their 1000$ products, everything i see is about "second generation core i series being visually better"

I didn't mean the performance of an i7 990x - just in general, they have the fastest low-, mid- and high-end CPU and as all of you understand that's why they rule the market and can have the highest price, so in the end, real performance controls the market.

(Btw, you should start looking at ESLs commercials, it's all bout Intels extreme stuff, but maybe that's because of the names of their tournaments )

I've a question, am I the only one that think it's embarrassing/funny/weird that they compare there new top model against a 1,5 year old processor that probably performs worse then the 2500k/2600k in the comparing games. Imo that make this (http://tof.canardpc.com/view/a53a68e...1068e8af28.jpg) slide worthless because if they would have compared it with the better performing 2500/2600 the slide would have looked very very different...

EDIT:

They sell caue that is all anyone knows, they sell cause every windows based software company has recomendations of Intel bla bla, or better in the hard ware requirements sheets (excpet some games now days). That's the only reason my company sells and install Intel, is cause "it said we had to"

And why you to think the situation looks like that?

The market (Intel) needs competition in stuff that matters to customers!
