[citation][nom]r3alizt[/nom]The only real problem with the original Phenom was that it couldn't clock very well, that stupid errata that you had no chance of seeing in real life was just a PR attack on AMD, Intel has their own errata too.Now that AMD fixed their clock issues and took a lead in clocking, their being criticized for clocking too high. When Intel won a benchmark vs Phenom II, it's because hyperthreading is "just like having 8 cores(not)", when AMD wins, it's because "they had to have twice as many cores to do it", and Sandy Bridge is magically just a quad core again, and therefore "twice as fast per core", even though nobodies taking into consideration that the benchmark might not utilize 8 cores.If every Intel fanboy would take a long, hard look in the mirror and ask themselves why they do what they do, the world would be a better place.[/citation]
Hopefully, fanboys realize these are just desktop CPUs and don't spend all that much time analyzing the world and themselves against them. There's nothing wrong with being enthused about something but it needs to be kept in perspective. ...being a fanboy for a desktop CPU seems rather ignorant when you step back and look at it, considering the current events of the world.
