I wasn't writing an essay either. I think WK is right on; people tend to write casually on the internet, I guess I?m no different. -ROTFL please refrain yourself from pointing out minor misspellings when you?re not exactly up to par. -I take back from calling you stupid, I?m really sorry for that. Seriously, it was low of me and I realize that I should be more respectable toward other individuals. pIED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pIED pIPER Posted July 6, 2002 Author Share Posted July 6, 2002 Originally posted by semifamous AMD processors are cheaper?? Not for the same speed, they're not. Go to http://www.pricewatch.com Click on CPU OK... The AMD Athlon XP 2200 ($214), when you click on it, says it is 1.8 GHz.... OK, click Back, look at the price of a 1.8 GHz P4 processor... The high end is only $184? Really? That seems cheaper to me, isn't it? Intel is the better deal if you compare apples to apples instead of the false labels. Duh, The AMD Athlon XP 2200 ($214) directly competes with a P4 2.2 GHz, not the 1.8 GHz. the Athlon in most cases performs better, now what's the price on a 2.2 GHz P4???

freeza Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 doesnt matter if it directly competes.....unless it is a 2.2 ghz then the price means nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilmonen Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 Here's the Intel CPU Here's the AMD CPU Now, I'm fully aware that the AMD CPU is running a faster fan, however, I have filled every possible 3.5" drive bay (all 8 of them) in my Lian-Li case so things get very toasty in there. Now, look at the Intel that is running at lower speed in a system with only one hard drive installed. Where's this massive heat difference that AMD is supposed to have? 3 degrees C for something running 470MHz faster in a case that's 14 degrees C hotter overall, & the AMD CPU is using more power as well. Hmm.... Wonder how hot the Intel CPU would be at 1666 MHz & a higher core voltage? Anyhow, that also shows that I run *both* Intel & AMD systems. I bought each based on the features they offer. However, after reading many whitepapers on the P4 and talking with some people that used to work at Intel, I fully believe the P4 is "castrated" and the only reason it works as well as it does is because of the hyper-cranked bus & clockspeeds. If they did more IPC they would have an overall better CPU, but they don't and they charge as much for a single top-of-the-line P4 as you can spend on a "budget" PC. So yes, I think you wind up paying more for "Intel Inside" than you should. And yes, I'm fully aware that MHz for MHz you pay more for the AMD CPU. However, you also get more raw performance out of it and can build a "high end" AMD system for less than a "high end" Intel system. I'm not being a fanboy, but I *am* being realistic. If you get quality parts, you will have a quality machine. That's it, end of conversation. Garbage in = Garbage out -= Side Note =- I've had an Intel since the 8088 and an AMD since the Athlon. I did my research and have decided to stay with AMD for now. If Intel gives a compelling reason to buy their systems, then I will switch back to them. But when reviews of P4 systems showed that older P3 systems could keep up and exceed the P4 in some areas, why am I going to buy the marketing hype and spend the extra cash for the P4? There was a reason Intel didn't publicly push their P3 systems with 512K of cache. It's because the P3 (at 1.13 GHz) was beating the P4 (at 1.6 & 1.7 GHz). Once Intel goes back to being a company driven by engineering and not the Drunken Marketing Monkey department, I'll go back to Intel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
