EasternDigital said:So what about your dumb claim that the Pentium 6XX is not full 64bit? What do you mean, feel free to explain that... And you are right, being that Intel still uses 20 PPLs as opposed to AMDs 8, they are less efficient, meaning higher clock speeds. However, when you have a P4 running at 4.5GHz and 61Celcius FULL LOAD with good air cooling, that is PRETTY GOOD. (this was before OCing more with Liquid modded cooling BTW) The 6xx have high clock speeds, are much more efficient, use less power (IN THE LONG RUN) and can throttle themselves just as the AMD Cool and Quiet can. Intel is almost done with their 90nm perfection. I am not an Intel fan, I am an AMD fan. The new 840EE dual core Pentium SUCKS compared to the new AMD X2, however, you claim that the new 6XX sucks is HEAVILY FLAWED. Go look at processor wafer architechture and then come back and say that. The HT technology along with the enhanced broad PPLs allows for much larger data transfer. The 2MB L2 also allows for increased power in gaming and audio/video decode and recode/compile. AMD is the better company for GAMING right now, but for photoshop, video editting, audio editting, and LARGE tasks of that nature, AMD doesn't make the bar, Intel does.
No flaming.
Again MHz or GHz don't matter because AMD is better and more efficient then Intel. They also can be overclocked too. My claim that the 6xx sucks is very solid and the point stands pretty well. I think you need to stop flaming people and understand how the AMD 64 and P4 6xx are designed. You will know the 64 is better designed. Photoshop also does better with AMD, as well as larger tasks with the exception of audio editing. AMD does make the bar. And defeats Intel 80% of the time.
