Its been a while since I mixed it up over here.

Melty style since I knew how much you guys missed him

G5 benchamrks? whats the point as the results would be useless to you guys.

What the point in discussing wich is better or not?
At current time P4EE holds the crown in 3Dmark 01.
Until beaten P4EE has the crown in 3Dmark 01!
This is what this debate started over, right?
Then I couldn't care less about price, brandnames ect. ect.
Please correct me if I'm wrong :)

Don't pretend - BE!
 
You are correct

no debate, land slide win not just in 3Dmark 01

<b>"You haven't proven anything that once 64-bit support comes out, it will perform even better." -EDEN</b>
 
Fugger is by all means correct, Intel's whipped AMD again, but this is no surprise..

It is also no surprise how the g5 whips both Intel AND AMD chips by a large margain.

Then again, I'm just a professional user who needs a REAL system to work with.
 
no I actually have a job, hence why I post here relatively infrequently... unlike all the jobless amd users living in their parent's basement saving on heating by running 3 athlon based computers 24/7
 
LoL yep. The price of the EE just crushes that of a FX.
1000+ retail compared with just ~750 for the FX.
What was amd thinking???

/me shakes head sadly.

Again:
The price/preformance ratio is not a part of this debate :)
The performance is...
I'm sure the P4EE will be overthrown.
But until that happnes, the facts still speaks out loud.
P4EE has the crown in 3DMark 01.
So why not(intended at the A64 and the A64-FX owners) start benching, instead of mudfighting? :)


Don't pretend - BE!
 
[-peep-] that, I just saw a bunch of red flashes, VERY weird.

Now, onto the relevant stuff:
Anyone read the NY Times and see that article of Intel's advancement in proc technology todebut in 2007? Think they're for real?

The one and only "Monstrous BULLgarian!"
 
True. Its not as if anyone will ever buy it, let alone find one for sale.

As for 3dcockstroke2001... So it beats an old dx8 benchmark that is highly succeptable to every tweak under the sun.
oooOOOooo im scared LOL.

Ja, that's about where my position is. It's nice when a new part wins the 3DMark2001 crown, but 3Dmark2001 is long in the tooth, and there's more to the computing world than a synthetic, obsolete DX8 benchmark. P4EE just doesn't definitively take the crown overall. It doesn't outright lose, it just doesn't outright win either.

(Except that it's not even available. You know an Intel part is paper-launched when not even Dell can deliver it. 😱 )

Yeah sure Intel can make a better chip if it throughs enough money into it. Intel can make a really good chip. The thing is couldn't AMD do the same thing with their chip and put like 3mb's of L2 and like 4mb's of L3 if they really wanted (ok these numbers may be way out there but you get the point) I think they could but to do so would cost so much it isn't worth it. I truely don't think Intel released the EE to make any money off of it. I think they did it out of fear of the FX. I mean look at how bad the FX crushes the 3.2c. I mean how many people do you actualy think are going to buy something like this. Plus from what I am hearing around here (although thats not saying that it is true) is that the EE is a one time thing and they aren't going to up grade it at all. Meaning no 3.4 EE or 3.6 EE. They did it so they could keep their crown and thats all they cared about. They have the money to waste on this thing. AMD although doesn't really have the money to do the same thing. Yeah the motherboard and registed ram bring up the price of the FX but the fact is that the registed RAM gives a proformace boost (maby not as much proformace as you would want for the money) and when it comes to having to buy a motherboard Im guessing that most people that are going to be buying the EE and the FX are going to plan on getting another motherboard anyway. Most people aren't just going to buy a $1000.00 CPU and put what ever they hand on there motherboard before and put that other CPU on a shelf to collect dust.

Anyway yes the EE in the end is on top but I truely think this is just a show for all you intel fanboys out there that just like to show off saying your company is better because they have a faster chip.

Now don't get this all wrong I am not an AMD fanboy and will probly never buy a FX (unless I come into alot of money really soon). I just like good compitition and I see that the FX and A64 have done that. All you intel fans out there should be really really happy that the FX and A64 are out. How long as it been since you have seen Intels best chip being so low in price. I mean its only slightly lower then 400.00 I don't rember how much it was before the FX but I think it was about 600.00 or maybe more, I think more(the 3.2c not the EE as I explained before as I think its just a show off launch not something that anyone will realy buy unless they are rich and cant do with out having the top of the line but more they likely them kinds of people might be able to get their hands on something better. Conections wish I hand them :)).

One other little thing that I would like to point out is that yes the FX was what I expected of it. It was alot better then the 3.2c. Before anyone knew of the EE everyone around here was hoping that the FX would be 10-15% faster then the 3.2c and guess what it is. But now that the EE is out (and that took what a month to get out after the FX was already out) everyone is saying that the FX sux because it didn't give that big proformance leap that hey where hoping for out of it. Well the way I look at the FX did. Look at how it out proforms the 3.2c and how it crushes the 3200+. AMD has cought up in alot of areas that it was being crushed in. There are alot less weak points in the FX. There are very few areas that the FX is actualy falling really far behind in.

The FX is the advancement that I was hoping for and how could you guys not expect Intel to counter with something. Yeah the EE wins but not by much. And if you look at the A64 it does very well agenst the 3.2c and the scaling is much better when OCed.

I just don't understand how so many people out there are so disapointed in the FX and the A64 when these two products are a gaint leap in proformace for AMD. If you look at it not from the point of veiw of "Dang AMD didn't kick intel's butt" and even if you can only focus in that area, well then I say it did in its own little way it did. It kicked the crap out of the 3.2c which a little while ago was priced just a little under the FX (I think Im not for sure on that though). And for about a month the FX was the king of CPU's, because the EE took a month to even get out.

Anyway I just hope that things will stay really competitve in the CPU area I am liking these price drops all around.

I have a job too, how else would I afford an Intel process inside a Lian Li aluminum case? If you have a point to prove, prove it. I'm tired of you pulling sh!t off Apple's website like it was the King James bible. If you can't provide detailed specs of each computer you test, your results are absolute garbage.

Like I said, until I can game on a Mac the way I do on my Intel... it's Intel for me all the way. Don't like that? Tough sh!t. Want to resort to insults? Lick my dingleberries.

Aren't U Intel flamers forgetting that, along with being overpriced and unimaginably hard to come by, the EE is still a P4 and is the last leg of the P4's life cycle. We are gonna get mabey 3 or 4 more P4 labeled proccessors, before Intel decides that the outdated technology cant keep up with the speeds we want it to produce. BTW, I wouldnt call the FX destroyed by the EE. It wasnt beeten nearly as badly as the 3.2 was by the FX. So stuff that in ur crack and smoke it.

If a CPU can be overclocked, try and overclock it. Do this always and forever, unless, of coarse, you have a POS ecs motherboard. In that case, thank god it runs.
 
There are no EE's available in the uk. This is irrelevent. Whats the point of arguing that something holds the performance crown if you cant even buy it? And even when it is available, something better from AMD will be out and the EE will cost too much (unless you earn £30,000 a year).

OCUK have EE's listed, but they are £600 - 4.65 times the price of a 2.8C

Anyone who buys one of these tweaked chips (FX or EE) has more money than sense.

G5_inside: 'It is also no surprise how the g5 whips both Intel AND AMD chips by a large margain.'

Yeah, but only with heavily modified and optimised code. If Apple had used standard code across all of the test systems (G5, Intel and AMD), THEN we'd believe the reports, until they do, we will continue to laugh at your idiotic troll posts.

Thats great news for all those that spend >$3.500 on a computer just to run 3DMark. Just wait a few monts, and join the top of ORB.. Wooohooo !

However, those that actually want to play games like <A HREF="http://www.aceshardware.com/read.jsp?id=60000263" target="_new">Unreal Tournament, X2, Unreal II, Battelefield 1942, Medieval; total war, Age of Mythology, Grand Prix 4, Jedi Knight II Or RTCW: enemy territory,</A> they could save a few bucks and not have to wait a few months, and just the fastest CPU for their needs: the FX51.

Is it me or is this CPU forum rubbish. Full of fanboy jerks that get off on petty point scoring over other fanboy jerks. 'Oh the P4EEHT blar blar is beating the AMD Athlon XFPX (or vice versa), all you moron's using the other chip are retards' and [peep!] like that. Sure passions can run high (or even fever pitch) but I think there are some charachters that just get a high on p***ing everyone else off (including the people that couldn't care less).

There are people on here that genuinely want to make usefull interesting discussions rather than this sort of jouvenile rubbish.

Whatever happened to the grown up discussion forum that actually helped people with their problems not ridicule them because of the choices they made

It is rather silly, especially when you could buy a decent P4 2.8C based SYSTEM for the price of a P4 EE
