Intel kicks the crap out of AMD procs

[Sbrowne55]

When I was younger, I worked at future shop.Anything amd always came back lol. That damn processor costed me so much money when going to college. Damn them!

Anything amd did have great prices tho. So hard I still think u need to account price and performance in a graph. There are tons of graphs comparing speed per dollar lol.

I do love my i7. Been by far my longest lasting performer /knock on wood lol

Oh yeah? I used to run similar rated comps,Intel on one and AMD on other-been 3 years or so. Performance wise my AMD would smoke the Intel running same programs at the same time. Now,I don't care about ratings. Anyone else running both types at same time that cares to advise of best upgrade option-Intel or AMD? Mind you-I'm not interested in false ratings from software-but real performance differences. When I used to run same programs a few years ago my AMD's smoked Intel-regardless of the"ratings" of software based stuff.
Are you running an Intel and AMD system at same time?
Are you running WOW on both?Preferable a 10 boxer or more that can give me true performance experience -not software based BS.One vs the other.
Have 4 systems running AMD atm and looking to "upgrade".

not sure what you are ranting on about unded. Tests are as close to the same system as Tom's can make them, They are running the same program. memory is different but the rest are the same parts. (HD,GPU,accessories) And over 100 compared to high 70 in FPS is kick ass.

Unded - did you not notice that the links I posted were specific to WoW?
I have no idea why are are ranting.

AMD can be faster than Intel in some applications, but my post is specific to WoW - Cataclysm.

Look ALL my computers are AMD, the 3.2GHz dual atholons (with the best nvidia chipset),

I have never used an Intel Chip (maybe there was one in the first IBM PC I bought before I started building my own) but there is just no doubt the X58 chipset blows away the AMD solution.

You don't have to keep arguing; Intel X58 rulz thats all there is to it.

Hehe-wow!
I can't believe how bad I ranted from coming home tired after a bad day at work!
Yes Bollwerk I did check the links and as a matter of fact put some Intel stuff on my wish list(newegg) for updating comp3.
I do a "round robin" on updates for 3 comps and am going to try Intel next time.
I'm hoping to be surprised based on the links you provided-thanks for providing them! I may not have found then without your post.
That being said-I'll put my money where I get the best performance here at home. New Intel system will be right next to my AMD main for direct comparison-running WOW on both-5 boxing on each-yep going to 10 box.
Stay tuned-hehe.
Will be some months before i get it all together.

Just to cap this off, here's an article that pretty much puts the final nail the coffin.

(Caveat emptor: these guys may be getting free hookers and beer from Intel for wildly inflating their scores with magic pixie dust for all I know. If they are, Intel should give them more hookers and beer because they're doing a hell of a job.)

rofl-I'm close to the same-but will try Intel again(based on links here)-overpriced as they are.
But-I will be able to run both at same time running WOW-same programs.
That will be all I need for direct comparison in real life performance.
After all-aren't we all on this forum for that?
Stay tuned .....
Putting my money where my mouth is.

Bulldozer will be AMD's answer to Sandy Bridge. Of course thats not untill 3Q 2011.

Its unfair to compare SB to current AMD offerings (although Bulldozer is not out yet).

Actually that tests are showing that AMD is not all that far behind, if you compare equal cost processors and not a $300 AMD to a $900 Intel, and might do well when compared against Bulldozer.

We will see.

Also thats stupid putting the GPU on the CPU instead of more cache or cores. No one is going to use their on chip GPU (cept mobile or low end applications), with nvidia making this kinds of stuffs:

Civ V .... wow what improvement over CiV one which I enjoyed a lot.
