anybody going AMD64 next year or prescott

[MoeStooge]

I plan to buy whatever is best when I'm ready to upgrade again.

It does have it & it uses it so get over it,If AMD could do it they would but Intel has it & is faster,so stop your whining.

What I was trying to get at is Intel has to have speical help in order to beat AMD, kinda like having a Intel V8 engine but it will only run as a V6 unless you add a speical addtive.

And I'm not whining, just giving my 2 cents.

Amid a new and bold plan to build a 300-mm wafer fab, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. disclosed that it has delayed the volume deployment of its 90-nm process technology by two to three months. AMD originally hoped to ramp up its 90-nm process in the first half of 2004, with volume production due in the latter part of the second quarter of next year, said Hector Ruiz, AMD's president and CEO.

Depending on how one looks at it, they both need "special" help. Each processor has strengths and weaknesses, just because one requires something the other doesn't, it doesn't make one better than the other. In the end, all that matters is Realworld performance.

Definitely AMD, when they drop down to $200 or so. who wants to take a guess to when that may be?
mid-2004? Dec 2004?

Exactly...So Dragonfire it does sound like whining and excuses....

Real world performance tells me it works and works well...JOe blow consumer doesn't care how it is getting done he just knows it gets done...

Meh..., I can wait, I don't feel Intel has anything that's going to match the heat/performance ratio AMD has right now with the Prescott. I'd like to have a computer thats quiet enough to run 24/7 in my room, but still fast enough for gaming.

AMD will never cross my doorstep. Intel all the way. They have served me very well and I will stick with them.

Im down with whatever strikes me as 3 things

1. speed for price
2. great reviews from respected sources
3. Great OCing ability

which for those 3 reasons is why a ton of people purchased the barton 2500,

and if intel brings those 3 things to the table next time i need a new comp then ill jump all over it.
