Intel kicks the crap out of AMD procs

[Sajuuk]

Hmm, Its true intel beats amd in a single instance of wow, but how would it handle 5? 4 core 8 thread intel vs 6 core amd. I'm guessing the difference may not be as pronounced.

Kudos to intel, those are pretty good benchmarks.

Way to say something while really saying nothing at all! There's more in the Intel vs AMD performance argument than just clocks and cores, but it's late and I'm not knowledgeable in the finer points of that argument.

edit: see I can do it too.

I admit I wasn't saying much, just merely posing a question on the scalability on each platform. Just curious cause i haven't seen any mainstream benches. Might wait until bulldozer comes out before i decide to build my next rig.

You might be waiting awhile, Bulldozer has been pushed back until "summer." [Source]
When "summer" arrives, Intel's 22nm Ivy Bridge and LGA 2011 will be right around the corner.

Explain "haven't seen any mainstream benches."

for 5 or more instances of wow on 1 pc. I have a friend who used to work for tom's hardware a couple years ago, (he introduced me to multiboxing), but anyway, when i started boxing 5 toons he asked me if he could borrow my accounts to test them. I said sure, but nothing ever came of it. That was back on 2007.

Darn, i was hoping it would come out in april, thats when my raf ends and when I plan to start 10 boxing, So tempted to get gulftown, but i can't justify a grand for it. I was hoping i could pack 10 instances into 1 pc, might have to do 2.

You can see my views on the 980X here, 5th post down.
