My own personal rant is this:

I am not very happy with the way Intel is (personally) cheating everyone by making a processor that could barely keep up with its own predessesor (back when the PIII could out perform a P4). Intel is playing a marketing stratagy and it sucks! They know that X.XGhz sell and so they made their processors so they could overlclock them to hell and back JUST so they could sell them! Personally that is BS!

AMD's design for the original Athlon processor was excellent and made absolute sence to me when I first read up about their architecture. Not to mention that you can do more with less is an excellent idea. I mean HELL, with the economy going the way it is, more with less is the way everything is going. (Side note, nothing more

I use to be an Intel only guy for several reasons but mostly because of RAW performace figures, where Intel beat AMD hands down. Then AMD came back and designed a CPU that was as good (if not better) than what Intel had at the same time. Then Intel and AMD were duking it out against eachother with identical clock speeds and after some revisions to Intels PIII, Intel was competing or comming up a close second to AMD. Could it be possible that Intel realized that they couldn't compete with AMD clock per clock so they desined a chip that would just go for all looks and decent performace at ultra high clock rates? HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM............... I think so!


GRRRRRR The idea that Intel is just screwing a great innovation from another company by tricking the customer just burns me........

Ok.........

In a nutshell, AMD has made an great attempt and has succeeded in making a good name for itself with the Athlon and Intel is trying to steal their glory. PERSONALLY, from a technical stand point, AMD's processor is superior and Intel knows this. It is not AMD's fault that they had to go to the stupid PR rating again but Intels becuase they played the marketing game and now has dragged AMD into it in order to say competative in the UNKNOWING CONSUMERS MIND!

Ok enough ranting for one day.........and I know that I am going to get some bashing for this but HEY! Its my opinion which I am basing off the FACTS that are presented in front of me. Have a problem with it? Your not the only one.

Have a great day!

Dude if you are talking about competiting processor speeds, i bet intel could care less, as they already own most of the market. They still have the fastest processor now on the market, and amd is coming in second, by a medium margin. They have the speed crown now with raw mhz, and they own most of the market, so i dont think they have anything else to prove.

The whole pr rating thing messed everyone's mind up. Its confusing to them to have to calculate the speed.

Dont blame intel, cause intel set most of the mhz standard until AMD came along with the t-bird and added an extra .5 ipc to each clock. now you think who messed up the entire mhz speed rating.

Anyway, with all the money intel has, you can sure bet they can destroy amd with a flick of a finger. They wouldnt want to tho, as they can keep them in their little corner, while Intel practices their mastery in marketing and business, while protecting from the monopoly trust busters.
