Oh you think you're on to something! lol Nice try, but that would be personal experience with other peoples computers I worked on, as stated.
:whiste:
When it came to actual game play experiences, we thought the Phenom II 940 was clearly the better choice in Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts and Crysis Warhead due to minimum frame rate advantages and fluidity of game play. In the five other titles, we could not tell any real differences in the quality of game play between the Phenom II 940 and Core 2 Quad Q9550. Except for Far Cry 2 where we could raise the graphic quality settings without affecting game play, the i7 platform was no different than our two other solutions.
Do you think personal experience cannot be skewed or biased?

I'm glad I started this thread. It confirms what I have suspected all along.
After reading this thread, I also noticed that every poster whom voiced their
experiences of AMD being smoother in day-to-day operation was met with
an onslaught of ridicule by people who went out of their way to reply without
any class.
Hat's off to all those who responded to the onslaught of ridicule with "class".
Just some of the issues with BAPCo. Now i'm guessing your first response will be something like: 'pff how long ago was that again?', but the important part is that intel still controls BAPCo, and I don't think too many people believe intel's corporate culture has changed much if any. No company is going to support such a biased, deceitful scheme. AMD, NV and Via had no choice but to stick with it because it was the standard, and corporates/businesses used it to evaluate their purchases. When they bailed, they had to bail together.
Do you know that you are quoting a complaint, not a sentence, don't you? Whatever is written there is just the opinion of the plaintiff, not the opinion of a judge or any other entity judging the merit of the complaint. Paper accepts everything.
But... wait, are you saying that AMD stayed for 11 years AFTER knowing that BAPCO was completely rigged, and even having the opportunity to bail out when their clout on the x86 was on its zenith, they choose to bail out when fielding one of the biggest disasters of the CPU industry?
get back to me with DPC latency measurements dude, stop spouting this personal experience stuff
A few searches:

The first link to Bulldozer vs Sandy Bridge shows that AMD chosen games can make them competitive and perhaps 'smoother'.
Then there is the Phenom II vs Penryn/Nehalem. Under graphics limited settings(and for some reason in CoH), Phenom II was actually able to be a bit better for whatever reason, and their CPU performance being lower helped bring down max frame rate.
I don't know about reviews where AMD is smoother than Intel in Windows.
Intel will be faster whenever you are CPU limited by a single core.

How can I fake that?
You really can't be this dumb can you?
He's rightAnd you said other people didn't have any class. :whiste:
So you admit you started this as a troll thread.
And you said other people didn't have any class.
He's right
Why don't you stop trying to Ad-hominem people and instead present some sort of evidence. It's obvious that many people here agree with OP (including myself) and I've heard of this topic before. AMD is legit smoother than Intel, that's what the evidence shows.
This from a guy who just speculated that I created an account 5 years
ago just so that I could wait 5 years then log in to write this thread..
Meanwhile the usual suspects start spilling all their billis against the OP in this thread, I can assign a dedicated core to run procon bf3/4 console while the other 7 are used to play the actual game. Try to do that without incurring into some serious cpu stalls in the game on an i5, or the console itself choking when running on an HT thread on an i7.
Its ironict that people base their buying decisions on benchs of single tasking, yet they end up mostly on different kinds of multitasking scenarios with it. Those people will never understand AMD CPU's true value proposition.
yeah, and this guy is telling you to come back with measurements to back up your claims - it's not like it's hard to measure

Hmm I think i'm quoting a complaint and a sentence. Didn't know they were mutualy exclusive. lol Unfortunately for your premise, anyone and I mean anyone, familiar with the matter knows exactly how intel manipulated and conned the industry with BAPCo. It doesn't matter how much propaganda you spew, the facts will remain.

You never answered my question on line 3 of post 163.
