[citation][nom]ohim[/nom]You do realise that there are a lot of ppl who actually don`t overclock their CPU? And yes BD is not that awesome but there are parts where you can actually have a reason why to buy .. and that`s multimedia (i don`t care if in a game i get more fps from another cpu, as long as the frame rate is above 60 who cares , the eye can`t see beyond that anyway) But as long as i`m using Adobe`s Creative Suite and BD behaves just a little behind that 2600 but above the 2500 i really don`t give a sh*t about gaming. But sadly most of the comments around here are based on just that or that the i7 smashes BD in iTunes ...i would love to see those who buy i7 play with iTunes all day!I even saw bald statements that the new Core I3 are about as powerful as a Phenom II processor .. yeah in synthetics they are about equal .. guess what ... work with bouth of the platforms in daily activities and you`ll see that there`s a huge difference ... stop looking like retards to only synthetics, they actually mean nothing to real world applications. In fact i don`t even get it why there are still synthetic benchmarks being used when they don`t give any real world performance numbers.And who the hell uses iTunes anyway to convert music ? I installed that piece of crap once, saw how stupid and sluggish it is and never touched it ever ... and in 2011 is still no multicore aware. Clearly very bad coding there. Shouldn`t be used for benchmarking.And yes AMD might not have the greatest design (but i still have faith in this one) but you can`t compare to the Intel giant in resources, and stop lieing to yourselfs if AMD dies Intel will keep innovating ... yes they will but at a much lower pace and at bigger price points, monopoly and corporate greed always goes like this.Better stop bashing AMD for nothing .. is not a football game where if your team wins you feel joy ...better pray that AMD puts out a better revision fast of BD or works out something with MS to really improve it`s performance .. that way it forces Intel to push even harder thus bouth sides will be winners since bouth chipmakers will produce quality processors at competitive prices, there`s no actual benefit here if one of the companies produces a very bad CPU or even dies. As consumers we only have benefits if bouth Intel and AMD produce competitive producs, so stop all the hate and show some faith. Buy what ever you want, Intel or AMD, but be thankfull to the opposition for having driven your favourite brand to be as good as it is.[/citation]
um... yea, you can precieve higher than 60fps, now... i dont know if you ACTUALLY see it, or if its a precieved like sound frequency's the human ear can hear, we can still precieve them.
its not just itunes, its all single core applications as of now, that said, how many applications are single core?
because they give you a number, synthetics i mean, and some simulate real world applications, and spit out a number. real world, if you never touch a single core application, the lower number would mean nothing to you, and same the other way, if all you do is use single core applications (this includes chrome, its "multicore" but not at the same time) than you would only get he raw end.
i use itunes, only when parents want something on their ithings, it encodes it to work with them, while i only encode to flac. im sure other people do this too.
the architecture they introduced has yet to be optimized for an os, so wait till win 8 and revision 1 before judge. intel will innovate, not poring research into it, but enough, and the prices will be similar to what they are today for years, even if amd did die, they cant suddenly hike, otherwise government would stick their foot up their collective butt.
agree completely with last paragraph
I listened to all kinds of whining and griping back when the P4 pulled that trick and if it wasn't valid then, it's not valid now that AMD is doing it.
