Intel kicks the crap out of AMD procs

So why does your title say "kicks the crap out of"?

Contradiction junction, what's your function?:

Tom's hardware is notoriously intel-biased.

Got any proof?

I would look up benchmarks from other sites. For instance: http://www.anandtech.com/show/3674/a...1055t-reviewed

Remember, certain games developers are in cahoots with intel. Certain tasks an x6 does better than an iX.

I would not say the x6 is getting "slaughtered".

Your link only backs up the fact that AMD is lower on the charts than Intel in gaming, even at the low resolution of 1680x1050...
and those benchmarks don't even include World of Warcraft, which is what the original link in this thread was aimed at.

Building a computer right now. The ram is pissing me off. I want 3 4gig dimms and either it's insanely priced or out of stock.

Since you did not mention your budget or your income, we can't estimate what "insanely priced" might amount to. However,
Newegg is showing 12GB [3x4GB] kits for anywhere between $140 and $500+, which is a price range I believe covers a nice
wide range of customers.

Yeah I was just venting hehe. I'm not overclocking so I'm looking for 4gig dimms around $45. I buy all my stuff from mwave.com because I live near them and they do will call. Sadly for me they were out of stock on their only GTX570 and the RAM I did get (which was $45 more than the RAM they were telling me up front they were out of stock on).

Yeah, there were 2 items that it wouldn't allow me to order at all cause they were out of stock and when I completed my order I got a warning saying sorry, these 2 items are at another warehouse so you can't will-call them today -_- . In writing this I just talked myself into cancelling with those idiots.

I was kind of shocked at those results.... I was expecting at most a 10% difference.... Intel did kick the crap out of AMD .... even with one core it did better by quite a bit.

Updated with some Sandy Bridge benchmark info.

Gotta say that I absolutely LOVE the new i7-2600K - I can't wait to buy one. $317 for a completely unlocked CPU and you can easily OC to 4.4GHz on the stock air cooler. About damn time.

I thought the i7-2500K was a better price vs. performance winner and believe it is $30-$50 cheaper then the 2600K. But we will see when more people have their hands on them.
