you did release that amd has regained the crown with that 12core server cpu of theirs right? though they're yet to mass produce it. if they can make a desktop variant of this, theoretically speaking, i9 will simply be pawned. you can't just say that there's no chance for amd at all. who know what they have for us this 2010.

AMD has never been top dog, IMO. Sure, once they had the fastest processor. Whooo. Intel has always been the top dog of x86 processing. Not because of Faster chips, better chips, or cheaper chips. But because they have a MUCH larger user base. While that may have been gained illegally in part, it is what it is.

When AMD has more market share than Intel, AMD will be top dog.

i think he meant it as performance crown.

No brainer then. Intel has it. AMD may have some unreleased 12 core processor. But I have not seen it out in the real world yet. So it means nothing.

It will be very hard for AMD to get the Performance crown back. Intel has so so so many more resources than AMD does. Would be nice to see it though.

You must of honestly accidentally hit your bookmark for "MarketingHype.com". I only say because having had the top performing CPU when Intel was making crap. Branch intuitiveness, net burst. I mean tons of great ideas coming out of the Intel brain-trust back then. OCN is a performance site? Correct. I mean your post befuddles me in it's blindness. Market share is king?

No offense but that post is just mind numbing.

Yes, Market Share is King. Also, I am confused. Did you say Netburst was a great idea? I certainly cant imagine how... It was one of the worst architectures of the decade...

But still, Intel has the mass of the market, what does that give them?

Better Market utilization
Better Software Optimization
More income for research
More income for expanding the company

Put 2 and 2 together. I don't see how it's mind numbing. It makes sense.

Sarcasm does not go well on the Internet but I think you got it.

I only say mind numbing because on a site geared toward performance your Pooh-Poohing of AMD's past performance accomplishment seems well as said. Better on a marketing site. Not one that tries to cut to the chase with facts. I have been around for a while. I am glad AMD woke Intel up, if they had not god only knows where Intel would have taken us.

I really am not impressed with Intel being a Goliath, I am troubled 75% of your argument/opinion seems to think that is cool? I accept it is as you say but don't give them credit and want to anoint them as anything. If you do cool.

BTW, AMD will not beat Intel until they develop new architechture. It is rather easy to see.

add what the motherboard can do in way of video cards with the amd and intel systems for the money and it is a loss IMO. my board is capable of quad-fire at x8 or crossfire at x16. and the motherboard is always at an open box price of around $120 bucks and is one of the best am3 boards out right now. with the added support for more video card options i think it has advantages.

I got mine for $115, but speak of the devil at $123.

No you don't say, they only make the NB and the SB and without them we would have no motherboard at all.
