AMD or Intel

AMD Athlon 64 & Opteron dominated in mid 2003 & all of 2004. AMD also took Market share away from Intel both in the desktop & server markets.

AMD was the first to demonstrate 4 Dual Core Opterons in a HP server. The Bios & Windows registered the 4 Dual Cores as 8 single Opteron CPU's. And its performance more than doubled if compared to 4 single Opterons.

Who will dominate in 2005?

I think AMD will

Agreed >> AMD will rule.

I think so too. Though AMD is letting Intel release there Dual Core CPU's in about a month in advance. Then AMD will release there's.

I live to see benchmarks with these Dual Core CPU's. But do you think Intel will have a performance boost with Hyper Threading on?

I don't think so. Intel's arcitecture will hold them behind. The P4 design is already problematic. Even the P3 design was a lot better designed than the P4.

I think AMD will have a superior Dual Core Design. Integrated Dual Channel Memory Controller, 3 High Speed Links (HTT) for comunication between the CPU's & 2MB L2 cahce, along with there 3D Now(+) MMS, SSE SSE2 SSE3, Dual Core Athlon 64's will be fast.

Yes I agree, AMD's HTT Rocks.

For some of you that don?t know I was a hard core Intel fan sense Intel came out with there first CPU. I recently had one of the new Prescott P4 3.2 E . I over clocked it to a 3.9 GHz stable if you want to call it that. When I started noticing that my graphics didn?t seem as high quality as my friend with a little AMD 64 3000+ that just set me off. So I sold it and bought an AMD 64 3500+ OC it to a 4100+. My graphics where way better and higher quality. My games seemed so much higher end. Benchmarks went up. Computer runs cooler and much faster. Memory benchmarks doubled. All that changed was mother board and CPU. Was using a Abit IC7G max 2 board now I use asus. If any one ever looking at this sight wants to know what is really better. Ask a hard core X Intel fan who uses AMD now. Nothing like real world use to know what is better.

Yes, Well, try telling that to Sean B.

He is way too close minded to understand anyway. And I bet if he was to read this, then we would join like there was no tomorrow & try to diss AMD again.

Good work joshharper92, you have a solid system.

I tried, but he told me where to go, if you know what I mean.

What an imbisel Sean B is.

as much as i love amd...and as much as i dislike intel....i think they might come ahead......

idiots have been delaying the release of the P5

This is my quote from HWA: Sean B is trying hard to divert someone from getting an Athlon 64. I'm sure he has his personal reasons why, but to extend them within forums is weird in my opinion.

AMD 64 is PURE 100% 64-Bit technology. They have what it takes to run 64-Bit games & programs.
\"64-Bit Extensions that is for now\"

O.K. Here it is. This is for information purposes only.
?Don't listed to Sean B, because he is trying to divert you away from AMD. Just look around and see how many people are using Athlon 64's.

AMD has extended there Brand New 64-Bit architecture to accommodate people like you & myself, so that we can use 32-Bit computers & also have the security of tomorrow?s 64-Bit.

Plus Athlon 64's are the fastest CPU's out in the market right now. And they are 100% the Gamers Choice CPU.

The performance you get with the Athlon 64 is because of the 128-Bit+ Integrated Memory Controller & its single 16-Bit Hyper Transport Technology link. (3 in total, but one enabled).

When 64-Bit Games & Programs start circulating, then you will notice further improvements in performance & quality.

Funny, this might make him join.

sean is one sorry SOB. Feal bad for a quy that cant see past the end of his nose.

Nice OC with your 3500+.

At this point in time, I see no REAL advantage to DDR2.

But what is it about DDR3 that make is so good? I really don't know and would like to be informed.

PS: And yes, Super SP....I followed you over here from the Steam forum!

My prediction for 2005

Intel builds a 64 bit CPU with HT high running temps.

AMD Develops a new 64 bit CPU that runs cooler, costs less with a 1500 HTT 64 bit up 64 bit down.

Intel work to perfect there DDR 2 systems

AMD work to build new DDR 3 boards
