You're obviously an Intel sellout, I can tell just by your attitude in your posts.
first of i will start by saying sorry for that my last post it was a bit........ will... i was in a bad mood yesterday.
and that happend to take effeckt in my post. sorry about that.
but to answere yours. there are some things i will make clear.
i am NOT a fanboi. i like both nvidia and ati(amd). and intel and AMD.
its just that amd is behind in performance. (However better prise)
go check it your self. what about there new 6 core cpu.
that thing sux. and thats not me saying that. reviewers are saying that.
google it.
about the intergraded gpu. i am right in what i say that it is all for saving power for running the desktop environment. not for gaming.
amd might have better performance in intergraded gpu in the neer future.
but whats the point is that. they dont even have a newer cpu with intergraded gpu at this time.
if you want to game, you buy a graphic card.
(ofcouse if we are talking in THE future its all gonna be one chip that controllles it all, but we are talking now and next generation cpu's)
about that i thought that apple used amd before is becouse that i didnt know about there own cpu's. so i just thought that it was amd. but that doesent matter.
the point is that they started using intel and not amd.
about the pins.... well that doesen matter. i still think that lga is less likly to break.
but...... it sux that intel switch sucked all the time. (amd IS cheeper and motherboards are longer lasting.this is where AMD dominates)
i still think that in amd next genaretion thay should stop making cpu's with pins.
(my opinion)
about the mem controller. the point is that they dont use it NOW.
i dont care if they where the first one to make it. it obiasly didnt work out for them.
why whould they else making cpu's without now. intel uses the great qpi insted of the fsb. why does amd dont have something like that now. i hope they get it in there next generation. i meen... thay should.. the future is all about having it all in one chip.
about intel is for benchmarks.... you are wrong. try to decompress 1 gig file, time it. and do the same thing with an identical amd cpu.
ofcorse there are some benchmarks one company is better at. like nvidia is better to that dx11 heven benchmark. but i am only watching benchmarks for everyday use.
like win rar benchmarks (decompressing). 3dmarks (gaming). cinebench(CPU rendering).
intel is NOT made for doing better scores in those benchmarks.
i realy dont know any benchmarks where intel gets bonus score. where have you seen that?
i realy want to know, becouse i dont belive you on that one.
there is no driver for CPU's. there is dx drivers for gpu's. and that where you can optimize for benchmarks.
so there is no way that intel gets bons points.
anyway this is getting uncomfortable. i just needed to make thing clear.
if i am a fanboi.. then you are also a fanboi.
you like AMD better (witch is understanable) and i like Intel better.
i think it is all in the end about what you need.
same thing with graphic cards. i was allmost gonna buy an AMD 6950. but then i desided to go for the gtx 570.
its about what you need and what you will spend.
some nvidia cars is better en that prise range, and some AMD radions are better in this prise range.
