Comments on: Intel’s Core 2 Duo Pushing AMD into the Red? http://cybernetnews.com/intels-core-2-duo-pushing-amd-into-the-red/ Technology News Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:45:09 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Ryan http://cybernetnews.com/intels-core-2-duo-pushing-amd-into-the-red/comment-page-1/#comment-94636 Ryan Sun, 22 Apr 2007 04:38:56 +0000 http://tech.cybernetnews.com/2007/04/20/intes-core-2-duo-pushing-amd-into-the-red/#comment-94636 AMD really has some high quality processors, and while I'm currently running mostly Intel processors on my PC's (I do have a computer with an X2 5000 though) I am confident that AMD will do something to revolutionize the market. They have been keeping quite a little too long and so I think they have a trick up their sleeve. I'm sure it will somehow integrate their recent ATI acquisition? Maybe an all-in-one processor that also has a video card actually on the processor? If they figure out how to do that then that could really shrink and lighten mobile computers while offering fast graphical computations.

It took me quite some time to switch from the infamous P4 478pin to AMD64x2 AM2, but the wait was worth it. Even at times the Core 2 Duo seems tempting :D But the major turn off for me is that Intel chips runs hot even @ idle, and the stock fan buzzes like mad. Oh AMD will be back, thats for sure.

Another reason AMD tends to lag behind from time to time is that they do a lot more testing internally before releasing products than what Intel does. If memory recalls they tested the original 64bit cores for more than 3 years before releasing them. I personally would rather have a proc that has gone through good R&D as well as testing before release. I remember the early PIII problems. I will openly admit I am biased and have been called an AMD fanboy so take it as you will I also am an AMD fan and am looking forward to their future processors the X4 and X8 I believe.
