Nah, haha. I don't get angry as long as the other person has good points. I hate when people argue for the hell of being right. Intel will be on top for editing, but AMD has them beat in the gaming world. I see where you're coming from.
There was a time when AMD was on top when it came to cpu benchmarks you know , a little time before the core 2 duo when intel rushed out their dual cores(Pentium D) because amd had released dual cores already and in that
period of time AMD where top of benchmarks and a little before then AMD athlons where always better than the intel counterpart so yer it hasnt always been intel on top of the perfromance charts
yeah me too but I mean what are they going to compare the 955 BE to the I7 920?
Other than that there really isn't a close comparison when it comes to money and performance other than that.
I mean the I7 940 is $569 bucks and the 965 is like $1010 It just doesn't make much sense that the closest 2 chips in specs are $750 in price difference because the 955 BE has basically the same specs as the 950 Extreme. Even though the I7 965 is a lot better than the 955 BE it still doesn't justify a $750 difference in my eyes. Shame on Intel for now allowing their customers to have quality without taking out a mortgage.
And when they do test them they do crap like this. Take a look at the mobos and memory they used and then tell me that this is a legit test system comparison they changed the CPU out and placed the 955 BE in this setup as well for comparison... I wonder how much intel paid for this...
Lol well good luck man i just finished mine. Go with the Amd II 940 that what i have and love it can be overclocked right now mine isnt but in teh feature i will
