  • (100$)Intel Core i3-550 vs (140$)AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition

    AMD is soooo cheap only 40$ more for worse product.(Very loud fan.Requires much more power)

    It's pathetic that guys from Europe can buy a better processor with America than in Europe.

    Intel-better technology,less power needed,better ratio price/performance

    AMD-good cpu with primitive architecture-4cores amd works similar or even worst than intel 2cores processors

    Your video don't prove anything.Next time use celeron vs sempron.

  • This is what happens: Intel and AMD are the same, just like big corporations ...AMD is experimental for what's market conveniently possible, and Intel is the final product just software enhanced.

  • AMD fucking Owns... with that $900 buy even more higher spec parts and compare that to an intel system of the same cost. what do you get? A system that in unparalleled Mother fuckers!

  • that guy looks like my dad

  • AMD is in desperate need of their new Bulldozer CPU to compete with Intel. As mentioned, Intel did not even need to deliver a full iteration of Sandy Bridge to match AMD's best.

  • @bbuteo Bulldozer failed xD

  • I don't use AMD because I need more power than the Phenom x6 (a GTX 570, it can be CPU-limited with that). I won't try to play Civilization V with that Oo

  • @Darkteammadfiz

    LOL Gimme me a break!

  • Because in gaming, the GPU does most of the work that you see on the screen.

  • @jewie27 Yeah on the pc anyway, excluding Black Ops lolol.

  • My personal experience about amd.. I still have this old computer.. amd 1.8 ghz and ati radeon 9600 se.. now the original was 1.8ghz and nvidia with same ram.. can't remember.. but nvidia fried few months later while this amd processor lives on for over 7 years now along with 7 year old graphics chip. I'm about to build new computer and i'll go with amd phenom or somthin 2 x6 1100t and 1gb or 2gb graphics card. probably 6950 sapphire.. AMD is the best. Source my own experience trust me.

  • Comment removed

  • Okay, PCs are GPU limited for these kid's games... But pop FSX in and try the AMD. :( No comparison. I wish AMD would put Bulldozer out so Intel would be cheaper! Until then, my i7 960 will be at the top of the pile with the rest of Intel's high ends.

  • I can get a AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Thuban 3.2GHz cpu for only $200 on newegg. :o

  • @GameBoy2036 look at lycode's comment :)

  • could not agree more, i own a AMD Phenom II 1055t and .. yea :D

  • here's the question, in reality if you spend a 1000 on a cpu you also have to spend the money to power it.(higher heat out put is lost energy)hope you like your electric bill!

    if you spend 300 dollars on a cpu and you still have to spend the money to power it.

    (less heat more efficient)

    do the math AMD wins in either case.

    the intel fan boys are getting the wool pulled over their eye's.

    intel can claim the work station all they want. home based computers usually don't do work they play games.

  • Tell me whats the best choose please:

    AMD Athlon II X4 640 3.0ghz w/ SATA hard drive OR

    Intel i3 550 3.2ghz w/ sata2 drive

    for little gaming, mostly playing videos/ streaming and surfing web....

  • Phenom x4.

  • tell me AMD athlon II X4 640 3.o with sata drive

    OR Intel i3 550 3.2 with sata2 drive

    for some gaming and watching videos/ surfing etc..

  • How about its durability....

    amd vs intel...

    who stays longer!!!!

    pls vote...

  • @bloodgod16 durability depends on the airflow and the power supply.

    If the airflow is bad the computer will get worse performance by time and the overheating might damage some parts overtime.

    The power supply loses it's power over time, this goes for all power supplies.

    so in other words more watt more durabillity. But it takes years to effect it. for example 1 year 5% of the watt power is lost.

  • First before you start flaming at me i use amd cpu´s and i love em.

    But this anti-intel frenzy goes way over the top, i mean i love AMD cpu´s since they give a good performance for a budget price (a.k.a. student etc)

    Intel Cpu´s are good but they are way too expensive and the motheboard also.

    why would i pay for 300$ more if i can get an AMD cpu whit 300$ less? Since most people play games & surf the net and the phenom series gives well as eny intel series cpu.

  • which iz better then ??

  • @ChromeKid786 amd ftw, intel sucks because its more expensive and there is not much of difference go get amd

  • @ChromeKid786

    AMD is the better deal in this case, because it's cheaper and produces the same results, if not better.

  • 10 peoples sorry ignorant as spent 1 grand on a peice o` crap intel i7.

  • pause at :41 lol

  • you could buy a 360 and show it whos boss =0 :)

  • the new amd x6 core runs slower than the intel i7 920 quad core and the x6 barely beats out the i7 860 quad.

  • @goodatlinerider thats backwards buddy.

  • @Rrichthe3 Check the benchmarks, im not wrong...

  • @goodatlinerider send me a link to them...

  • @Rrichthe3 cpubenchmark net. the x6 is barely ahead of i7 920 quad at 2.66ghz

    My previous post I meant the 940 quad not the 920 quad.

  • @goodatlinerider Yes. But what your not understanding is that one 5970 GPU with the phenom processor will have a much higher benchmark score than the lastest I7 core with an nvidia updated graphics card. For 700-900 dollars less.

  • @Cloudstrife1188 I see that, but maybe is just me but I am not willing to spend the extra money to have to replace it becaues of a system crash or anything of that matter. I do not hate AMD, If I am tight on money on my next build who knows, I may go for amd, but Im using an intel i7 860 and its wonderful.

  • JOKES ON YOU, YOU PAID $900 + the PC to prove a lame point.

  • but can it play crysis? lol, sorry, old quote for an old vid. while the old phenom was ok, the athlon II chips are the only ones you need today, or the new x6s.

  • call of duty doesnt even need ahigh fps rate sicne they use a shit game

    engine

  • Well said, well said, BRAVO!

    It doesn't seem like AMD is doing well to the average user, but when AMD starts cutting Intel off with good pricing AND great GPU's, I think Intel will find itself lacking room for expansion at some point in time within the next five years. They are perilously close to the 4 Ghz limit, and that in itself may cause them trouble.

    Btw, random but I do believe Intel AND Nvidia both give money to gay chambers of commerce? Just what I remember from rumors.

  • Hell yeah i would go onto say AMD gives you a superior visual experience BY FAR, GayTel just can't compete. Performance and Price wise.

    I'm with you all the way AMD/ATI, keep up the fight.

    The Radeon 5xxx series put GAYvidia's GeForce series in the trash WHERE IT BELONGS.

    Dont falter with Fusion, i'll be with you and supporting you all the way!

  • Dollar for Dollar you can build a faster AMD rig, any one knows that. With AMD you can save hard earned cash on the CPU and the Motherboard. Then you can spend that money on your GPU, or on Beer! - I like to spend it on both ;)

  • where is the FPS? without that, your argument is futile

  • What is this retard talking about, you hear developers saying their games are more CPU intensive all the time.

  • Well, AMD bought ATI. Although Mr. Taylor doesn't exactly say it, he eludes to the differing philosophies of the 2 companies. AMD is after your respect, Intel is after your wallet. Thank you AMD! I have no interest in funding Intel's mass marketing. If Intel is so good, why do they have to keep trying to convince me of it? AMD gets nearly half the market share with not so much as a billboard. Another thought... if Intel is so good, why does the US military use AMD?

  • @evanpeer I totally agree with you. Also if Intel is so good, why do they have to resort to antitrust practices. Intel was giving incentives to system builders like dell, gateway, and others if they did not sell PC's with AMD chips, or if they did not sell wide variety of AMD based PC's. Do a search for "Intel antitrust lawsuit".

  • @evanpeer omg fucking nice dude im envious that i didnt come up with that...can I use this post else where? pleasorz!!!!!!!

  • i think AMD is a great company, you get a lot of chip for the money, a quad core AMD can make a supper gaming rig if you match the other components along with it then you still have a little money left over.

  • @ddavidobbar

    intel replied to that bullshit by bringing out the i5-2500k

  • omg if i had $900.00.i wouldnt worry about the rent for the next 2 months :D

  • architectual wars involving propiarty software....

  • More dumbass fanboys (AMD AND INTEL). Competition is a good thing, there no reason why people should be a blind fanboy.

  • @ TheWMhater it is also cheaper and in pc you get what you paid for and thats that lol

    intel is better for heavy cpu loads but tons of people dont want to break the bank for marked up products. amd is cheaper and its great for average us

    PS i do agree with you. for gamers cpu dont matter squat you can play crysis on high with a Pentium D and still get over 50 to 60 fps if you have a good video card

  • @Masterkan8

    The CPU is equally as important as the GPU. I would actually like to see you try Crysis on high with 4xAA and 1080p resolution. I don't believe that you can get a playable gameplay with a Pentium D with these settings.

  • @ TheWMhater

    tell me what all the cpu dose in crysis besides AI?

    the gpu handles physics, textures, shaders, geometry, and now DX11 which is useing the gpu like a cpu(microsoft version of cuda copy) so what else dose the cpu do? the cpu is mostly handling launching the program and AI

  • The CPU is the brain of a computer. It prevents the application from freezing or crashing. And I'm sure nobody wants their gaming apps to freeze in the middle of a game. A better CPU can also get you more frames too.

  • cpu is maybe like 5-10% of games but still dosent much much difference lol

    as the video said same user experience 1 fps difference dosent change the experince

  • It's a big difference in max settings. You don't want Crysis to turn into a slideshow.

  • well DX11 was ment for gpu acceleration on aplacations. i havent kept up with what they are doing now or even if they are going that path. microsoft tends to say one thing and do another lol

  • DX11 is also a bunch of APIs that makes development easier. If you're referring to the graphic API, you should say Direct3D or Direct2D.

  • What path?

  • "using the gpu to accelerate aplacation preformance." do you speak english?

  • Yes I do speak English.

    More features isn't a bad thing.

  • i had to copy myself 3 times and if you still dont understand i feel sorry for you. you might have to go back to school

  • I think you should go back to school to work on your grammar.

  • who cares about grammar lol i said it 3 times and you still didnt understand it one bit

  • You said that I should go back to school. I just provided a reason why you should go back to school.

    You said that you're not keeping up with what Microsoft is doing now or even if they're using the GPU to accelerate application performance.

  • thats a good boi

  • An please don't call me "boi".

  • "And"

  • I know... it makes it harder for people that are not involved and not extremely educated in the realm of CPUs, to even figure out which one to use!

  • Very similar experience! Did you here that?

    Also, Intel i7 have come down in price! And the only reason AMD is so cheap, is because they are cheaply built and the true rumor X3 series with the limp core.

    X3 series and the limp core it comes with really wounded AMDs credibility! This move AMD back several steps in the processor world!

    I do not know about anyone elses requirements, but if I have four cores I want them all to work, just like I want my legs and arms to all work!

  • @mygenuineservices

    its not a limp core its fully works they just lock it. i know its dumb but with certain mobos you can unlock that 4th core with something like biostar

  • AMD just pissed that Intel has been kicking their ass all over the CPU market since the 2006 with the Core series. And with the Core iX series, this merciless southern style ass whooping is about to see more blood, AMDs blood. Ouch.

  • @cpuwizard9225 dude amd has a six core =/

  • Isn't the Core i9 supposed to be a 6 core proc? Plus HyperThreading on each core. I has no words.

  • intel cost to much its all about AMD

  • "there are other stuff you can do with that $900"

    like buying a fan and heatsink that can keep the AMD CPU cooler since they heat up a lot faster and a lot more than an Intel. My AMD Sempron gets above 100*Fahrenheit. somewhere between 100 and 115. sure you can say AMD is cheaper, but i found a Core 2 Duo laptop for $399 and a similar AMD machine with a slower bus speed for $430. hmmm. even the low end pentium dual cores have a faster bus speed than the AMD dual core...

  • 100Fahrenheit is about 40 celcius, and that is very good for at cpu!

  • my amd doesnt run hot idles at 29 degrees celsius and on full load 42 degress

  • You can get an Amazing cooling for your pc and overclock it to the edge... for 900

  • intel is a slightly slower gaming proccessor than AMD, AMD doesnt run multiple programs as well. so both have weakpoints and strongpoints but in the end it is simply personal choice! (AMDs r easyr 2 break wen putting into mothrboard, intel r hard 2 break)

  • Sorry I misclicked. I wanted to make it a good comment ;)

  • I worked at tigerdirect for a long time and I can tell you that he's 100% correct. Intel offers no real advantage to AMD in 90% of all cases. Choosing Intel over AMD is like choosing Mac over PC. There are some intances (rare instances) that the Intel will give an advantage but it's just not worth it. Also, as long as AMD is around, it keeps Intel honest (except antitrust violations). Can you imagine if Intel had a monopoly on x86 chips? We'd be in HELL!!!

  • AMD is not trying to compete against the i7, the phenom is a quad. while the i7 is a quad that is basicly doing 2 things at once. Yes i7 will beat it in most programs/games. But if you look at the 965 and the i7 they are only 10% max from each other when gaming. Im not bashing either, it's just what you can get at the time. Im spending $1600 on a dragon platform, and to go intel with an i7 920 and an x58 motherboard it adds another $600. AMD is just targeting the midrange market.

  • AMD is actually very stable, I don't understand what people are saying about it being unstable, overclock my 7750 AMD from 2700MHz to 3270MHz on air without one crash under stress without being shut off for 5 days+ at a time, and for a 50 dollar processor, Intel might give you a 900MHz single core....why bother with losing more money for the same thing? I looked at Intel to price recently, and found i can make a from scratch amd rig complete with 6g ddr3 ram for less than an intel cpu alone...

  • If you're able to suck Bill Gates dick and get paid $1 trillion dollars for each session go for i7...

  • my buddy has a 955 water cooled i have a i7 920 on air and i destroy his machine i can run all day at 4.2 on air cooling he cant keep 3.8 stable and even if i go down to 3.8 there is still no comparison and he has water cooling lol

  • pfft, i run my X3 at 3.8Ghz on air, its maxes at 43C on my CM V8.

  • i7's are the best but obviously very expensive while AMD has almost as good processors but WAY less.

    If you're rich go for intel.

    If you're trying to save money go with AMD

  • if your rich, buy i7

    if your trying to save money, buy core 2 quads

    if you poor buy amd.

  • HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA YOUR RIGHT!

  • it all about the quality

    AMD Phenom II X4 955 $210 3.2Ghz

    its not about the quantity

    Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 $350 3 Ghz

    comparison not even

  • No. It's about performance vs price!

    AMD wins!

  • console wars and cpu wars lovely...

  • OS wars, Name Brand Wars, GPU Wars, it goes on forever lmao and that's just computers. People become attach to these name brands and companies and if you target the company it's like targeting them. Religious believes it's what this is comparable to.

  • He put his point across as such, The

    CPU isn't as important as the GPU when

    it comes to gamming... If you want to

    shell out greater FPS on higher resolutions

    etc etc. Than you'll get more FPS per $

    by upgrading your GPU than CPU.

    Regardless if the I7 fails compaired to the PII's is not the point. If we were to compare both outside of gamming, the I7's would dominate ;) You might aswell get a Core2Duo for gamming than a quad to begin with

  • phenom II x4 940 BE FTW!! i7 is expencive and sucks ass!

  • Oh! thats why everyone uses the new i7 920. AMD = FAIL! I'd pay $50 more for better results and overclocking.

  • yeah but you forget to tell that everything is more f*cking expensive

  • 50 dollars eh?

    amd 955 = 215 from newegg

    intel i7 920 = 280 from newegg

    yeah, the i7 will win in this case, BUT, thats not a proper comparison.

    amd 955 vs intel q6600, both are 200, and the 955 wins against the q6600 all day. No-one is refuting intel's quailty, its about price/performance, the economy is in the whole, guess who's getting the sales, amd.  because FOR THE PRICE, you get better gear. when you pass amd's top dog and reach intel, of course intel is better, but why shell out?

  • @Perho92 stfu you broke bitch! XD

  • @TheTrafficker85 Dude, AMD not only has better price but better QUALITY and more ghz, more fps. can be overclocked to like 7ghz. stop whining cause your sorry ignorant ass spent 1,000 dollars on a peice of crap.

  • @TheTrafficker85 oh I put a negative comment B4 seeing the XD. I thought you wor an intel worshitter.(worshipper)

  • @rocknroll980 Lol, all jokes aside I use an intel i7 rig which I love but have also been building phenom II rigs as they represent great price to performance ratio!

  • @Perho92 I prefer AMD because it is much more cheaper comparing with intel cpus for the same money, but besides it being very expensive the core I7 is a incredible processor with massive performance. We have to be objective. The bottom line is the core I7 isn't really worth it for the price it has but it is indeed a very fast processor.

  • both the systems where playing cod4 in all high settings.....?

  • Wow really ? You compare a regular AMD x4 with a intel core 2 extreme ? the regular intel ones cost about the same.....

  • 5 fingers 10 fingers 5 fingers 10 fingers ohh

  • do you know people why there is so many intel lovers?? because intel is the first to develop microprocessors.. but.. as time goes by the intel is being sucked by amd not because of "PRICE" but because of advance technology.. its not durability were talking about here.. i mean common new games just came out like devil may cry 4, crysis, COD4, GTAIV, that are requiring a high specs.. but after a yr and a month it will just fade away.. so dont be a loser that will cry on intels products because of-

  • The fact of the matter is that AMD is absolute wank!!! They are made with shit materials and are basically cheaply made!!! I will give you AMD lovers a test!!! Go to your CPU and take off the cooling system... Then play a high end game and see what happens to your CPU, it will smoke and say bye bye!! i you do the same thing with an intel CPU, it will automatically shut itself down meaning that there is no chance of damage!! AMD= CHEAP NASTY ..... INTEL= QUALITY

  • wait let me question you... who would do such a thing?? hahaha.. i mean what your saying is nonesense... if you have a cooling fan on your cpu provided when you bought a processor why would you remove it?? just for fun?? very funny haha.. you just cant accept that amd is more powerful, fast, reliable, durable and affordable.. ive already tried it. i have amd turion x2 2.1ghz and i compared it to a intel pentium dual core w/ 2.1ghz ive installed vista ultimate 64-bit amd is 1minute better hahaha.

  • well, seeing as most people wont take their CPU fans off, thats not relevant.

  • you are a noob don't post comments regarding this matter your just making yourself look like an idiot.amd happens to hold the world record for 3DMarks with 45,474 3DMark,that was with a p2 at 6.5ghz they have since overclocked even higher to 7.1 ghz i believe.

  • the amd will do the same thing. and who the hell is dumb enough to take the damn cooler off

  • Comment removed

  • TheElwall, that may very well be the dumbest comment ever.

  • But Intel is better than AMD if u dont look at the price..?

  • puto vide de mierda

  • Eres fanatico de Intel, o que?

    Si eres fanatico de Intel, te apoyo, pero soy fanatico de AMD.

  • explain how the phenom I sucks.... do you just mean to say that the phenom II is better? in that case no shit, it's a phenom II the name implies it's more advanced. god... people talking about subjects they know nothing about, fucking annoying

  • Phenom I sucks, Phenom II does better

  • Still this only matters in games. But for a person who is a power user, uses it for encoding/editing videos, graphic design, 3d modeling, etc.. then the intel processor does make a difference. For casual users and gamers then it only makes a little difference. The new Phenom II CPUs though is another league on it's own. The Phenom II X3 720 BE gives a lot of value at a lower price.

  • You can play Call of Duty 4 on a Pentium 4 with no lag...

  • Comment removed

  • Okay maybe I'm being too hard on Intel. But even the review testers say the processors can't be pushed by the other components, so we're paying to wait. And then something else comes out, every plateau is a step. Sure it'll last but it isn't the new thing. They know what they're doing, they'll design a 100 and then ship a 90 and praise it, then later sell the 100 and maybe a 95 while building the 130. I'd just rather pay AMD prices, and they have an overclocking competition so they're into it.

  • Go AMD/ATI

    AMD won't be charging $1000 for procs. Intel has the fastest but the marginal price is insane, like SSDs that read 10% faster lol. Heck, you can buy a big SSD for the price difference between the top quad cores!

    Intel is also going to make some $1500 octo to displace their top gun, as usual.

  • 4870x2 with quad cores will play everything

    4870x2 with a Pentium II @300mhz will play everthing

  • LOL! I don't think so. The CPU will be a bottleneck if you do that. 300 MHz isn't enough in today's requirements.

  • haha

    yea.

  • paulbreor you an idiot, or just a troll. A pentium II will play.... lets see..... warcraft II and starcraft. It's tools like you who confuse new pc builders and guys trying to mod their systems.

  • Thanks

    For that childish remark, how old are you like 9?

    Its called sarcasm,,,,Get used to it cause its everywhere!

    Naw duh a pentium 2 isn't going to play shit.

  • Pat Moorhead is comparing an AMD 9950 with Intel QX9650, Intel is faster because the QX9650 is 45nm which is more energy efficient and runs cooler so it increases performance, AMD 9950 is using 65nm which runs hotter uses more power and slows down performance. So how can it have the same performance. There is a reason why Intel CPU is $1,000. you get what you pay for.

  • omg listen to the last 30 seconds

    he admits its better

    but no games really incorporate the difference so FOR GAMING it's a bit of a waste of $750, he's not saying the 9950 is better.

  • word

  • I currently own a Duo Core 2 based system and I gotta tell ya.. I dont see a real difference. My AMD system ran my games just as good and lets face it. Open Office only taxes my system so much. So now WHY did I spend the money I did? because I believed the hype that Intel blew AMD away. Save the cash and unless your competing you will be fine.

  • Fuck this. I was hoping for something neutral not the sales pitch of an AMD marketing vice president.

  • oH great same here =/

  • Wow is no one even close to techy? 4870s crossfired... it doesn't matter if you got a pentium 4 in that system it would still be the same "gaming experience". This marketing youtube video is very well thought out though.

  • Fuck that with 900 dollars I can take my girlfriend out, buy some shirts sneakers from self and still keep my game rig. I don't like Intel and nvidia.

  • Bro

    900 dollars and i could build a mid rang rig that plays every game.

  • Dude gave a fancy case for the amd and put the intel in a sh1t case. Marketing gimmicks?

  • Tell me how it works.

    I bought a phenom 9850 without any research. LAter I realized that the q6600 costs the same, overclocks better and beats the phenom clock to clock. Amd provided value in their dual core series, not anymore. Wake up and look around, uberpulse.

  • u must of got a shit one or just set it up wrong, the 9850s are miles faster

  • in Australia Q6600 are 2x as much then the 9950

  • "...a very similar experience"

    Greatest non-benchmark/test ever. A QX chip is unlocked allowing you to smash unlocked Phenoms into SOI dust. What do ya think all those extra bucks are for??

    The chief PR dudes come out and maskingly said "If you don't mind losing a few frames and having second best, save a wad of cash with AMD," which is fair enough if thats the route you wan't/need to take

  • JohnnyMashAU, What difference would it make if the benchmarks were higher on one platform then the other? Both systems offer the same gaming experience. Both systems will be obsolete in 2 years any way. Why not save $ with AMD? That's the point!

  • Sorry, didn't I just say that??

    It is not "The same gaming experience".. well, 'gaming experience' and 'love' aren't quantifiable values, but frames per second, minimum frames/playability and other benches are. Have a look at real CPU benchmarks and they are certainly not the same. Games are a poor yardstick to gauge processor power by.

  • he cant lie, bcoz we know his identity..

    GO AMD..

  • now this means nothing because the guy is from amd if he wasnt iwould bealive him

  • frkankixbox, you should have checked prices for yourself first before commenting.

  • The point is that you pay the 1000 bucks for the QX due to overclocking.

    You can get good Intel CPUs with the same clock much cheaper but it misses the extra-features like the unlocked multiplier.

    And the shiny black sticker.

  • yeh, but intel has 120 dollar processors that could blow the doors off that phenom. both systems are way overpriced to max out call of duty 4

  • I'm affraid so. AMD just isn't it anymore.

  • i can view JPG photos on AMD Athlon 2500+ and on 9950BE with high resolution and AAF high the same experience .... ATHLON 2500+ IS CHEAP same experience BUY 2500+ BETER ! :D stupid commercial

  • By the way, no offence but, sure, Mr. Pr director of AMD talkig about why AMD is better. Try to make a video with someone that is not related to AMD, and also where did they buy that, intel system over $900.00'¿? can get a intel gaming system for less.!!!

  • Ok. I´m trying to clear this up, want to build up a new system but always the same questions: AMD or INTEL. Believe me, I have watch alot of videos in order to make the correct choice, I´m not INTEL or AMD fan, have use both, however, in all the comment I always notice the same thing, I should buy AMD because is cheaper. So that is the main reason?, INTEL is very good, but AMD is cheaper.?? is that correct¿¿?? I´m really more insterested in Quad Cores, CPUs

  • intel is a huge company that started before amd, has more money more employees. but never thought about going green.

    Amd has started later and with a huge failure at 2001 (there was a testing and the amd chip went on fire). in 2008 they are going green, cheap , and much better :D

  • oh yes... true but how about comparing a 200$ intel with your 200$ AMD this is really an unfare test and no fps was shown...

  • overclockerfx, both machines are identical. Only difference between the two systems are motherboard and CPU .... oh and PRICE.

    Have a wonderful day!

  • yes i understand this but how about we test this 200$ Phenom against 200$ Core 2 Quad and see what we get.

  • the AMD would win since its proportionally cheaper. I do believe Intel has the fastest quad cores but first of all, the price is what matters to many people and secondly, just like what the guy said in this video, you don't need that great of a CPU for home use. I have a fairly old 2.4GHz dual core Opteron (socket 939) and that plays COD4 without exceeding 90% CPU usage. My 7900GT is my downfall.

  • >I do believe Intel has the fastest quad cores

    Oh ?

    schmidtbag, watch?v=Ivx0XYMCZJw

    The Q6600 is a Multi Chip Module and the Penryn is $1,000 !

  • With cool'n'quiet disabled on today's quad cores, AMD is probably the winner, I haven't heard much about quad cores recently but I am aware AMD has been making immense progress. I'm an AMD fan so me saying AMD quads are slower isn't me bashing them. Much like what the people in that video said, it doesn't prove much. That could just be a simple animation. I'm not going to argue over who is the best, all I know is I want people to support AMD

  • amd is the 11th biggest copmany in the world, intel is 1th bigest company in the world. but with the cool ideas of 2008-2009 im sure amd will go up to rank 5 and up!!! GO AMD (plus intel will fall a rank because of the price)

  • woooow what a big price, too bad people wont be able to actually buy it ;)

  • Oo U mean the quad core intel proc?... in fact is a semy quad core since it has only 2 pypelines /:) true? The Phenom has 4 cores and 4 pypelines... now that is the tru quad core. :) Plus ... it's sugestive... Itel is the state... AMD is the underground... I pick the underground ;)

  • I'm aware of the "fake" quad core intel did. AMD took the tough way out and made all 4 cores but they weren't prepared so it failed at the start. I think intel now has true quad cores and they just release i think a 6 core? I feel bad for AMD, its not their fault they aren't a large greedy corporation

  • whats whe point of some PICE and shit ??? if same price phenom 9950BE loses to 2 core E8400 whats the point of stupid words " AMD have TRUE 4 cores 4 pice and ITS CHEAP " yes its cheap on every thing .... Price 9950BE=Q6600=E8400 / perfomace 9950BE<Q6600<E8400 ... wanna say AMD cheap MAKE IT 100$ for 9950 so perfomace = PRICE !

  • yes, but the problem is CPU DOES MATTER. because cpu is pretty much everything, the gpu just helps the pictures go better but cpu controlls the speed and reaction. AND INTEL & AMD have a big compettion, the first company to creat the most high-tech chip GCPU ever will be accepted for marketing, GO AMD!!

  • I hope AMD will one day outperform Intel again.

  • Yo watch the video that says AMD takes you (198%) Beyond HD! That video shows why people buy AMD products.

  • shit'' i can built another system on $900.i am a AMD user sins socket A
