AMD vs. Intel Strange Conspiracy theory?

[smartkid95]

This is a strange one that I have been wondering and looking into, and observing for a long time. I was told by a source that is obviously not dependible but humor me, that intel cpu's are no match to amd due to the theory (it's rediculous but humor it) intentional replacement,and the cpu is designed to get slower after time which is why they never release cpus on the same mobo platform like amd and theychange constantly to get more money. I know this a lame conspiracy but I wan to get some honest opinions about that. Is there any truth to that at all or is is trash. the biggest question is I want to know the history of amd vs. intel because it also was claimed that overtime amd cpu's will work better than intel and amd has always been better. Intel fanboys rejoice because i'm ready for anyting I have strong feeling so don't be afraid to attack me. amd fanboys are wecome to have their say as well. have at it.



As a side note, I'm not really swayed either way as a fanboy to either company, my decision is decided by the almighty dollar. so far amd has consistantly been the better value enjoy. feel free to flame coment the post on my blog about this too.

Yeah I have read the threads over at the zone, His new pII rig has given him a great deal of hell.

LOL - I hadn't seen that - haven't kept up with the update posts. Anyway, serves him right! 😀

I've seen Scientia spew a bit about Roborat's blog (not that Sci's blog gets 1/50th the # of posts or hits), plus go on & on about the Intel fanboys - actually calls JumpingJack an Intel fanboy .

Well AMD Socket AM2 supports DDR2 only Socket AM3 supports DDR3 This is simple
Like Intel Some new socket 775 boards support DDR3 But they didn't rename the hole socket because of new RAM

Whtvr hppnd 2 Thunderpants?? 😀.

He has been MIA since last spring, IIRC. I suspect Intel conspired to sic their killer CPU on him.

 

[Upendra09]

what did i have to do with that?

The sockets are not the same. AM2 = 940 pins, AM3 = 941 pins

No, they renamed the socket (or LGA rather) because it has many, many more pins thanks largely to the IMC.

Boom?

So i heard you like Kaboom?

 

[Upendra09]

why are we still posting on a solved thread?

 

[kokin]

It was never really solved to begin with.

On another note, I love the irony of your post. 😛

 

[Upendra09]

what irony?

 

[kokin]

That you asked why people kept posting here, yet you still continue to post, even now.

 

[Upendra09]

true very true

I'm really happy for you and I'm gonna let you finish but this is the best post of all time

you know basically the same 5 people have kept this going if you want to go there I really don't care I actually am intersed in peoples opinions

I'm not very smart... But this post makes me go 'Huh???'.

Well, I just reply if you reply.

It's not a conspiracy.

It's like the wear and tear any consumer product receives, it's normal.

I'm offended no one's asked what I think of all of this. For me the question it all comes down to is when, and why? When will AMD release it's "killer CPU" and why did they do it at that time. Why does intel charge $1000 for a processor that their competitors equivalent costs $200, and when will this processor be obsolete? (I give it about 4 more months). and also to prove it AMD and Intel just decided to kiss and make up and settle their lawsuits, why was that necessary? think about that. ( I'm surprised this post lasted this long probably because no actual fact based definitive answer was given.)

You're free to say what you think of anything during anytime here, that's why we don't ask. But the conspiracy theory isn't something that could be tested or measured. Each chip has its own lifetime, making it impossible to test them using your brought up theory.

I also doubt the i7 is gonna be beaten anytime soon, it's been out on the market since Spring 09 and AMD has yet to offer anything close to the i7 (although the later Phenom IIs are close to the i5). Also, the i7 isn't $1000, that's just for one model, remember that the i7 920 is at the $300 range (even down to $200 for microcenter sales) and although the Phenom IIs are only in the $100-$200 range there is a clear gap between the two CPUs.

what are you talking about? or who are you talking to?

He's referring to the Kanye West incident that happened during the MTV Music Video Awards this year. Taylor Swift was giving her award speech and Kanye grabbed the mic from her midway and just blurted out "I'm really happy for you Taylor and I'm gonna let you finish, but Beyonce had the best video of all time!" thus this became an internet meme and people have been using that phrase all over the web.

Here's a list of videos that explain just some of the meme's you might know: videos here

Off to SF, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

 

[Upendra09]

where is SF?

and ok

 

[jimmysmitty]

For my guess, SF would mean San Francisco possibly......
