He is probably not an outspoken person, he is not used to speaking into a camera so he is nervous.

He is probably not nervous at work talking to his colleagues.

AMD is toast :)

sick of the i7 hype? The i7 does much better than the core 2 series.

I think you need to read some articles.

Well that is not 100% true. The reason why most quads suck for gaming is the fact games don't use a quad-core.

GTA4 shows a HUGE improvement over a C2D because of quad support.

Now your right the L3 cache idea is questionable but once again the game coding is what fails to make a quad a gaming CPU.

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.

Where you are right the fact is that this is something that Intel has been working on since the Pentium 4. In fact Nehalem was supposed to come where Prescott did but they held it back.

Bot companies innovate and push ideas. Only some get accepted. Like Intels Hyperthreading. AMD has yet to adopt something like that even though it could benefit them.

Ok, Fair enough, I just don't like how intel tries to pass these ideas of as their own. The truth is without having these two companies the processor would suck. AMD was doing good but now they are behind.

dont forget AMD owns ATI and asus, and im sure you will see ton of new stuff coming out from them. A Intel CPU thats as fast as a AMD CPU can cost $100-$1200 more as well so AMD still better imo and from the PCs ive tested the AMD is a better way to go

hey, i was just talking to glenn hinton face-to-face yesterday about this, and the nehalem sounds awesome!

[ajhthecoolman]

oh yeah, and you can customize intel chips with ATI or Nvidea video cards anyway, so....yeah.  intel is better than AMD

[ajhthecoolman]

AMD isnt as good as intel no matter how much you like them. and they have good video cards cause they dont make their own. they mucho off of ATI and Nvidea.

Well, if their previous gen quad cores (QX9770, QX6600, etc.) are very fast, these should be faster. But I cannot rely on the price however, because making smaller is more expensive..
