Dunnington: Why Intel Need 6 Cores to Beat AMD's 4

[stigyo92]

maybe vice-versa noobs?

[Followingalegend]

well if intel needs 6 cores to beat amds 4 core kinda cool seing as now amd have 6 core processor so looks like intel needs 8 cores rofl

[kalimul]

Bitch you trippin'" as a wise man once said.

[MHAKP]

AMD can race ! in 2011 AMD get the 32nm tecnology !.

[xXWREXXx]

Intel is more Popular because it is a multi purpose CPU. Its fan base is made for 2 parties (Business + gaming) While AMD is more targeted towards Gaming and is definitely more efficient in that category. To put it simply:

Gaming: AMD > Intel

Servers: Intel > AMD

[j1s2f3]

I don't kown why intel try to compite with AMD,

Intel is losing the battle.

[LessthanJake14]

Uhhhhh, where did you get that from? Apart from the odd anomaly, Intel is ALWAYS ahead of AMD in benchmarks and architecture. Of course AMD lead the way with price/performance ratio.

[TheFunnyEagle]

actually intel has never been able to match AMD's bus speed

[LessthanJake14]

Yet Intel are still on top? There's more to it than just bus speed.

[TheFunnyEagle]

its because of they have more advertisement nothing more nothing less

[LessthanJake14]

Look, benchmarks don't lie. The AMD's are CONSTANTLY being obliterated by Intels. Stop thinking that the underdog is really superior to Intel, because it just isn't.

[TheFunnyEagle]

umm ok i know your trying to act smart but unless you make/program computers i dont want to hear it

[LessthanJake14]

Stop trying circular arguments because you can't support your original claim. Intel are still winning, AMD have shown fantastic price/performance ratio and at certain points the Phenom II matches Intel Quads, but rarely gets above it.

If you said "I like AMD because they offer a great solution for the price", I would have agreed. But saying "AMD are winning the battle against Intel", you're just wrong.

[gxcad]

I'm with you on this one Jake, Eagle has no argument and is just making pointless statements...!

[outterspaces]

No AMD is proper when it comes to big workstations - say for scoring digital music using hundreds of samples per second, or professional 3D modeling and rendering.

[OredhotchilipeppersO]

Luckily, intel robs you practically.

[SmilerOnline]

Luckilly, Ci7s wont cost too much now that AMD has developed some good Mid-Range CPU competition, I think that we all will be happy in 2009 with the low CPU prices!.

[Lakomcl]

Im sick of all this Intel i7 hype. Heres some actual factual proof why intel i7 is not designed for gaming but designed for servers.

Intel i7+large L3 cache+extremely small L2 cache= not very good gaming performance.

Fact:games Utilize large L2 cache, thats why current dual core and quads are good.

Please read these articles before commenting.

Intelligent comments please.

[schmidtbag]

FINALLY someone who understands

[pcfxer]

Wait for it....wait for it....you are exactly correct sir.

L2 in i7's is 256 (half of Phenom II)?

[Xyb3rTeCh]

awesome facts there buddy. i agree with ya =D

[2point6x4]

how about one 4GHz Core i7 SINGLE SUPER FAT CORE, with 1GB of CACHE, for Gaming. : )

[glige]

Whats bottle-neck???

[tub3scr3am3r]

overall performance is held back due to a less powerful part

[ManBearPigLOL]

they have 8 cores

[faruh123]

do you mean on the single chip or you mean multi-chips?

[ManBearPigLOL]

the nahalems coming out are 8 cores

[faruh123]

whats nahalems? ive never heard of it.

[ManBearPigLOL]

google it theres some youtube vid of it. its a compleatly new layout which allows more threads i think, and its 32nm.

[faruh123]

its 45nm i saw some vids

[ManBearPigLOL]

eh same thing just goin off fuzzy memory

[konkov123]

no 4 cores, and 8 threads

[ManBearPigLOL]

there are 8cores

[chinchoweed]

wrong there's no native oct core cpu's till at least q 4 next year look it up on fudzilla

[ManBearPigLOL]

coming out <-- ??

[nairb2693]

4 cores, with hyperthreading like the old Pentium 4's, so it has 2 threads in one core, meaning the power of 8 cores.

[ManBearPigLOL]

did pentium 4s have hyperthreading? i thought they got rid of it and just recently brought it back.

[nairb2693]

yes, many of them did, then when core 2 came out, it was scrapped. Now with core i7 its back again

[schmidtbag]

the prescott p4 had hyperthreading but it wasn't very good. it made a difference, including in temperature, but i wouldn't say spending the extra money on that was worth it

[godscuttingyoudown]

people don't want more cores they want more on board memory!!!!!

NVIDIA's GPU"s actually outperformed CPU's

WHY because of streaming processors!!

a good cpu has 8-12 mb of on hand memory, a GPU has 512-2Gb of on hand memory

no competition

learn to raise the capacity of memory.

i have 4 cors and 2 of them hardly get used but i get bottleneck for memory, at least my GPU's are picking up the slack

[Dan4157]

The other 2 aren't used because the programs that you use are only programmed to use 2 cores.

[faruh123]

there is no gpu that can bottle-neck a quad-core procceser man.

[godscuttingyoudown]

read carfully i said bottle necked because of lack of memory

[tommeken16]

AMD FTW!!!

[Dan4157]

AMD sucks big time for overclocking, but they're a good value. They're good for people who don't have a clue about computers/how they work.

[tommeken16]

Ooow right...

Soo why do i have my microsoft and my cisco certificate in my hands right now ??!!

Your a loser! You can't judge people on wath product they like so STFU

[2fast4uspartan]

take a pic of your certificates in YOUR
