Apparently it doesn't out perform Intel's chips at all, so Intel has nothing to worry about I'm sure

If you are going to get it, get the AN78. switchable bios..

exactly. intel ftw.

Yawn.

I am still on single core, and see no reason to change. If I want to get more work done, I'll just use two computers.

How so?

because AMD processors have been quoted to be better for floating point logic while Intels are not as good with floating point numbers.

The differences are probably so negligible though..

looks to be more expensive than the intel q6600 chip...

the whole reason why i switched to AMD 6 years back, was because they offered equivalent quality to intel for a far cheaper price. Sadly that seems to be over and i've gone back to intel.

I have an AMD XP +2200, still works like a champ!! I've had it for 4 years...

Man, I've been wondering where I've heard the term phenom before and it just hit me.

The Phenom... The Undertaker...

Ditto. Always been an AMD guy whenever I've bough a PC for this very reason, but likley with my latest to come purchase, I'll be switching over to Intel now.

Alas.

Aww. *Jealous*

The new compy I want is replacing my current AMD XP 3000+

It just isnt cutting it. Its about 3-4 years old. I last reformatted it 6-8 months ago, I defrag it at least once a month, usually ever week or 2 depending.

But shes just TOO fucking slow. My frustration point has reach a level ive decided its time to re-invest in a new, better, faster compy!

What are you doing that its so slow? How much memory do you have, and what OS are you using?

I am running an Athlon XP 2800, and I find its just fine for almost any use. Really the only thing I do not do with it now, is play games.

yeah, wtf?

i'm on a Athlon XP 2700+ @2.16Ghz 1GB of ram, and mine runs beautifully.

oh no ... seems like AMD didn't top Intel this time. (So far)

No.

Well, yes - they have been "quoted to be" better, but those assertions were always completely unsubstantiated.

I was an AMD fanboy for many years, but there's just no denying that the Athlon is an inferior design to the Intel Core in almost every respect. Sometimes the Athlons can keep up, but they never see more than a marginal gain over the Cores. Plus, they're much higher power, shitty if you're trying to ditch the fans.

omg fap fap fap

memory > processor speed

ive already seen comparison charts and reviews between amd and intel. and intel still easily beats amd.

pretty sad that its a year or 2 later and amd comes out with new cpus that still fall short of intels lineup. if amd keeps this up, they will be bankrupt.

1GB of ram

XP is the op system.

Dude, read the comment above you!

AMD never intended nor stipulated that this chip is to compete with Intel's high end offering, and have priced it accordingly. Value wise, AMD is a good choice for a mid-range system.

Also it's worth mentioning that AMD's current offering, as well as future CPUs planned for 2009 will work on your existing AM2 or AM2+ based motherboards. Intel seems to be releasing a zillion non-forwards compatible chipsets, and even their x38 platform will be incompatible with their next gen CPUs (codename Nehalem) to be released 2nd half of next year.

Take from this what you will... If you want the most performance and have money to spend on future component upgrades, then you currently will want to go with Intel. If you are building a low to midrange system and want the most value for your money and the ability the simply pop in future CPUs into your existing AM2/AM2+ based motherboard, then go with AMD.
