One of the big problems with AMD right now is that they're stuck on 90nm, so Intel on 65nm can either add even more cache to their 4-core design or just keep die sizes smaller with 4MB of shared cache vs AMD's much larger 90nm design which will use 4 X 512K caches on each chip.
Obviously this primarily affects the bottom line of each company's balance sheet, not actual performance, but Intel has a lot more wiggle room when it comes to what kind of "extra" they can throw into new designs by being one manufacturing process step ahead. And when AMD makes the jump to 65nm in '07, Intel will be a year off from 45nm. Next year is gonna be a hot one for mainstream dual core processors and the introduction of quad-core, though!
Now that AMD's had a couple of years to fatten itself at the trough, the transition to thin profit margin cores won't be so harsh for them to take...
I can appreciate a decent review , even a discussion about the pro's and the cons..
"yeah,intel is faster then amd again" ,or :
"I wonder what amd's next step will be"
But after reading this thread..it's like a bunch of guys trying to be rocket scientists !
I mean, jezus..just get over the fact who's faster & move on..
This is a forum,you're not going to win a pullitzer prize with your comments..
Maybe try talking in plain english,so that everyone can understand it
(and yes, I do understand,but there's others out there)
Want to make a difference ? Go share your thoughts with the companies &
maybe you'll get to work there
And no problem guys, glad to have given my opinion
On a side note ; I do have something to contribute..
I'm running on a new AMD X2 system , which I bought this week.
If you're going to have to want the fastest pc out there,
then you'll have to buy new parts every month..
Personally, i'm an amd fan & although intel may be ahead of things
at this time, amd won't just sit aside..they've come a long way..
i'm pretty sure they were already working on new concepts for the next line of their cpu cores even before Core2 came out..
(see, no fancy mumbo jumbo here )
greets !
