Intel chip skeptic

Well, he is mostly talking about the netburst arcutecture, wich was just a huge intel marketing ploy. Im sure all of you mac people know about the "Megahurtz Myth". But the genoius of Intel knows that most poeple don't. So when people but side by side two computers, one AMD and one Intel, and they saw the Pentium 4 3.4 ghz and the AMD Athlon 3400+ 2.2ghz, Wich one did they think was faster? Even though AMD chips had much faster performcance for less money, people knew the Intel brand and trusted it. This is what turned me into a AMD fanboy.

   But when this guy started to rant on the core, that is when he went to far. Unfourtanatly (well, since I have a macbook now, not), Intel has a much better mobile platform than AMD. Most of the core chips these days are 65nm, wich make them cooler than their AMD couterparts. Also, these chips NOT netburst chips, they use yonah, wich was desighned by Intel in Isreal. AMD does not even have a mobile dual core chip out yet, wich gives them a huge disadvantage.

I've always been an AMD Fan myself.

I lose track of yonah, conroe etc. But the Intel Chips look good. smile.gif
