Yeah that's all well and good if your into the whole performance thing, but does intel have a 4X4??? :lol:

So who on this forum was bit on that one for a $400 MB???

Intel has it and you will see first 4x4 Intel based products arriving this fall.
About AMD and Intel... well AMD s still stron in the server market due to the mem controller... however it wont last long.

And Barcelona wont be able to hold against Tigerton and Dunington from the Intel, which will surface around mid summer.

If I'm not mistaken I believe that Nehalem will have an integrated memory controller.

from the link

Nehalem will no longer use a FSB but a serial point to point interconnect. Even more revolutionary is the fact that Nehalem will have an integrated memory controller (IMC) and that the number of serial interconnects is variable (Intel's version of "HyperTransport"). Another potentially groundbreaking move is that some Nehalem CPUs will have a GPU integrated (Intel's version of "Fusion"). With an integrated memory controller, new interconnect, and potentially integrated graphics, Nehalem will obviously require a new socket.
 
Ouch.
It seems AMD just can't beat Intel in the desktop.
From what little I know, AMD will do better with pushing the ATI cards because ATI can still beat Nvidia.
For CPUs, I think it's down to blade servers and econo budget chips for office use.
 
I dont see how AMD can launch B in May. Thats a month away and there still hasnt been a single benchmark.

well maybe you are young and dont remember the details of the classic Athlon launch in 99

there were no benchmarks either till about a month out from launch when firingsquad.com got a ES of the K7- 550

so it has happened b4...

i hope u can stand by these words if u are wrong...most people who make abolute statements with no facts...tend to switch forums than admit they are wrong

The 90 nano-meter PresscHOT/NetBUST chip also had zero pre-release day benchmarks as well.

The fact that there are no benches tells up it's either a disaster (Prescott) or a standup double (Athlon) or maybe something different.

The only fact is, again, that we have no facts :)
 
*sings a song* we have no facts!! we have no facts!!! blah blah blah!*


seriously though...i think both companies are moving as quickly as each other with intel in the lead because of shear size and years as a chip producer...but the technology is moving at about the same pace...which means amd is going to be able to win at least at SOMETHING!!! and i know it'll have something to do with datacenters...

No facts, I'm just going by the long history since the first Radeon and the K6. The K8 seems to still scale better than the C2D in more than 2-way servers (at least until the Nehalem). I also never known ATI to fall way beind Nvidia (more so since the 9700 Pro). Just general statements and I don't expect anyone to disagree.
 
8)

3.66 GHZ Penryns are going to make 2.5 GHZ Barcelonas life rather difficult.

who knows it may be like the pentiums vs athlons again. the 3ghz pentiums were crap against their rival athlons.
 
but still.. come join us at the intel camp! captrobertapril is shouting us free coffeees! !!

Man, not just free coffee! Starbucks Lattes, Macchiatos, even Frappucinos and all in Venti size!

Intel can afford it. After all, it's celebrating the Dawn of the Age of the Monopoly! :twisted:
