JAYDEEJOHN :
I never said the article was true, actually read my previous posts, quite the opposite. That wasnt in the form of my post either. My point is, its useless to bash AMD. It only shows a certain attitude. When I said AMD may turn it around, Im not referring to 4.4Ghz cpus. Maybe AMD is starting to turn it around now. Shame on me? Leave AMD alone? Shame on me? LOL Not sure where youre going with this. My point is on this that unless AMD has caused you to lose money, or deceived you (at this level, you should know better), then dont hope for their demise. And even if youve lost money and still have investments in them, youd still want them to do well. That leaves only fanboys and people that were duped into buying something they thought itd be and wasnt to have the die AMD mentality. Go ahead, prove my point. I dont really care. Ive had my cuts towards AMD, and to a point they deserve it, when fail after fail, they simply wallowed in ineptness. I understand this too, but never have I wished for their demise. Its old, this bashing when it doesnt fit. If this link was a AMD quote, then yea, go for it. But it isnt. If they came out with all their claims like they did about Barcelona, then go for it, especially now that we know, and yes some believed it and were burned, and thats why I can except some bad attitudes towards AMD, but still, short of its demise. This isnt about crying at all, its about pointless beatdowns, that are very very very old. My questions still out there. What will people think if AMD turns it around. If you cant even accept my question (not necessarily you TC) , then that is only pure and blind fanboyism. Im in the middle on this, and if either side cant see my point of view, then theyre blind, one way or another

The problem is most of the phanboys calling other people intel phanboys are mindless trolls or schills. Take one of our most notorious, who keeps jumping off the top rope with out a saftey net, who claimed he was getting a 4x4, then a phenom, yada yada yada. Since 2005 hes bought nothing, yet depending on which thread you read, Im supposedly an Intel fanboy (according to him), a member of the "brood"

and since mid 2005 Ive bought 5 AMD processors to his none.
This is an old subject, and one that’s been discussed before, and nothing I’m saying is new. There are those died in the wool AMD shill/troll/phanboys who hate Intel, for whatever reason, for whom AMD can do absolutely no wrong. Those for whom the Phenom Phiasco and Phore by Phore Phailure were Intels phault, because Intel lowered its prices and phorced AMD to do the same, hurting AMDs margins and phorcing a reduction in their discretionary income which meant they didn’t have money to spend on R&D which caused them to screw up Phenom. This of course is BS since AMD announced Phenom before the price war and loss of margin. 4x4 phailed not because of Intel but because, while it was not a bad Idea, it was hideously executed.
The same phanboys don’t understand the damage they do, and this thread is a perfect example of that damage. When AM2 was set to be released, it was going to AMD on par with Core 2 according to those speculating Phanboys, even though AMD itself said it was only a shift to DDR2 with no appreciable performance gains, yet the Phanboys incessant pandering raised the hopes of people who didn’t know better, setting them up for disappointment . When Brisbane was coming, it was the same thing: Brisbane was going to be the Core 2 killer. When Brisbane arrived, it couldn’t even keep up with the 90nm AM2s let alone approach Core 2. Then the story became marketing, with the future Brisbane’s being the Core 2 killers.
People get tired of the brick was ignorance and deliberate deceit, and what you see here is the reaction. Its the same with the quad core crap. Now there some kiddies who are spouting crap about nelehem being able to 'dissect' programs, analyzes them and optimize them across cores. Complete and total BS. People who believe this kind of crap have never written a program and have no clue how programs function or what their operating limitations are.
As for this thread, there’s some pretty damning evidence out on the web, which after having seen it, as far as I’m concerned, conclusively proves the OP is a hoax. I cant link to it, but its not hard to find....you just have to look beyond the CPUID shot, literally as well as figuratively. Because I cant post it, I haven’t talked about it, so I’ve been waiting for someone to find it and post it here,(HINT HINT) (don’t bother asking me or pming me for links), but it looks like most people would rather speculate than research.
