more reasons to go for amd, intel using unfair business practices

Note: *Pentium D processors are remnants of the NetBurst Technology.... That was way back.
AMD Athlon is cheaper but is not any way better in performance than Core2.

Pentium D*mned is a nightmare and history..

sakto ka bro..in no way AMD is better than Intel today...those who think otherwise may have not read the latest reviews..

but we need AMD..

I've heard that TIMEX are now preferring AMD's. Nakita nila na almost pareho mo perform ang ilang napalit na AMD compare sa Core2 Duo nila.

timex people shud read that..

INTEL owns the hill...

but we need AMD..for a healthy competition..

wow...tense hehe

[n0ryu]

basta nay competition para natay options! ^_^

i think what you heard was wrong bro. nag order pa cla krn og dell desktops & laptops, puro intel ra gihapon for me, mas maayo ang amd in the lower -> mainstream products while layo og biya ang intel sa upper mainstream to high end processors.

OT: you from timex?

You said it your self "Phenom Motherboard"... thats totally different from Phenom processors..
As an enthusiast i dont see the 7k a good value for the BE5000 X2...

Yeah mao lagi unsaon man nimo pag stable sa processor that even the motherboards aren't stable. Processors can't run alone can't they.
So same ra na nga statement about phenom processors need fixes. Since you are so Philosophical you're refering only to phenom processors only how can they be stable if they don't have a stable motherboards.

Its a great value since it can run at 6400+ speeds or even more.

LMAO, your logic is quite funny.. and you didnt even notice i typed in my first post that phenom 's L3 bug isnt a stability issue when infact it is.
Anyway the phenom bug results in a deadlock when 2 of is memory arbiters will try to write something on the same memory block.. this scenario happends mostly on lab tests and virtualization enviroments using nested caching.
AMD plans to fix this with the B3 revision of the CPU, as of now the only possible fix for this is a bios update w/c will result in a 10% ~ 20% loss in memory performance.
Read here for reference

Its quite funny when i said the processor doesnt have stability issues you suddenly shifted the bug to the motherboard.. heheh ignorance is a bliss at times.

Its a great value since it can run at 6400+ speeds or even more.

Please do show me your processor running at that speed..

Oh wait, the avg joe's E2160 clocks at 3.2Ghz also at stock cooling w/c runs faster.. Never mind as i see the value of this 7k CPU :mrgreen:
