My pseudoscience detector went off the chart.

Be careful where you stick that thing
My pseudoscience detector went off the chart.
read the rest:Although Core 2 Duo has been impressive since its introduction last year, a veil of secrecy has remained in place which has prevented a true understanding of the chip's capabilities. This has been reminiscent of The Wizard Of Oz with analysts and enthusiasts insisting we ignore what's behind the curtain. However, we can now see that some of C2D's prowess is just as imaginary as the giant flaming wizard.
The two things that Intel would rather you not know about Core 2 Duo are that it has been tweaked for benchmarks rather than for real code, and that at 2.93 Ghz it is exceeding its thermal limits on the 65nm process. I'm sure both of these things will come as a surprise to many but the evidence is at Tom's Hardware Guide, Xbitlabs, and Anandtech. But, although the information is very clear, no one has previously called any attention to it. Core 2 Duo roughly doubles the SSE performance of K8, Core Duo, and P4D. This is no minor accomplishment and Intel deserves every bit of credit for this. For SSE intensive applications, C2D is a grand slam home run. However, the great majority of consumer applications are more dependent on integer performance than floating point performance and this is where the smoke and mirrors have been in full force. There is no doubt that Core 2 Duo is faster than K8 at the same clock. The problem has been in finding out how much faster. Estimates have ranged from 5% to 40% faster. Unfortunately, most of the hardware review sites have shown no desire to narrow this range.
really?I've read many of his comments.. MU-Engineer as well.. they're both VERY biased towards AMD (on AMD Zone comments).
Crazy biased. I dunno how they can maintain their composure here.. lol

Keep in mind that this high performance Intel
stuff only exists because of AMD.

Yes, because insisting that competition is good for us is "VERY biased" :roll:

As crazy as I can be, the one thing that I would accuse MU_Engineer of is fanboyism. Can he be biased? Ye, everyone has a bias towards something. That's what makes us human, the tendency to lean one way or another. But to do what you are saying is on a entirely different level. Apologize. Now.
Just some advice.

What is tough about taking sides is the fine line of sympathizing with your chosen "HERO"(for lack of a better word). I always have to remind myself that sympathizing with AMD is bad, they screwed up as much as Intel screwed them. Which is why my stance is Put up or shut up from them.
Its just not easy to Take the hits and know the other guys fouls and keep it real. Real is show us the goods, Walk the walk. stop yer baby azz whining and do what our purchases pay you to do. Compete.
To be honest Intel is the worsed company of the two when it comes to ethical conduct. So Intel has technically "screwed up" more often then AMD.

that although morally AMD does stand on higher ground
Lol it won't. Never does when I say something because I'm an a$$h0le![]()
Pretty much the reason why I made the statement was to highlight my centrist beliefs in the whole AMD vs. Intel debate. I don't care much for either company, I care about the highest performing products. One company, in my eyes, can club 1,000 baby seals and I'd still remain indifferent.
My comment was mainly to highlight that although morally AMD does stand on higher ground IMHO, it still won't stop me from enjoying the higher performing product and doesn't even come into play during my decision making process..![]()
