AMD Zambezi news, info, fans !

[hirsch]

ok i dont plan on derailing a thread thats in the AMD section, so my last point is that the markets for low medium and high is set by prices, not the size of the chip. to say intel is better in all of them is no where near true, because AMD is always trying to offer better value (meaning perf/price).

I think you are right so this will be my last point/post about this too.

First of all I've to say that I only looked at the game benchmarks because imo that's real performance and that what matters to most people, not some synthetic tests (even if they matters to me ).

Lets compare i3 2100 vs. AMD's flagship, 1090T

First round goes to AMD (Full HD)


Second round goes to Intel


Third round goes to Intel

Maybe you are right, AMD TRIES to offer performance/price, but if their flagship can't even win against Intel's low/mid-end segment, that's bad and that's not what I call for competition. I can tell you one other thing, here in sweden the Intel-2100 costs about 1 000SEK vs. AMD 1090T costs about 1 500SEK, so basically it's 50% more expensive and performs worse in real applications, real performance. Sure the 1090T performs better in almost all the synthetic tests, but what do you think the market cares about? Let's say all of the 465 000 000 gamers out there, FPS in games or score in Cinebench 11.5R?

Please, don't missunderstand me or take me for a hater. I really like AMD and I have lots of chips from them myself, but what I don't like is when people are trying to convince me that AMD is better then Intel in any perspective of what market want (which includes low-/mid- and high-end as I said). I buy AMD for different reasons then performance, so no I don't have "two faces"...
