Intel beats AMD with new CPU! Hell FrozeN?


Recommended Posts

I have now finished reading this thread.

My conclusion .. GET LAID. :rolleyes:

whoops, guess computer hardware isn't a hobby anymore...i guess liking something and reading is suddenly not cool...o wait it never was..

why are you even registered? 712 posts of flamebait? that's got to be impressive...

so what's filling all that empty space in YOUR head?

Sorry if this was answered already but will the new Core processors use LGA775? I'm looking to by a new motherboard soon and I was going with an Athlon 64 system, but after reading this I must say I'm intrigued by the possibility of getting an Intel motherboard now and maybe upgrading to one of these new chips when they are released.

No socket change, might require new chipset though...so I wouldn't make any buying decisions yet. It's quite a while to wait though...

Oh and thanks to Mako360 over at [H] for compiling this from the various IDF reports...

Six versions of the Conroe processor at launch:

Conroe Extreme Edition (XE): 3.0GHz or more, 1333MHz FSB, 4MB shared L2 cache, unknown price.

E6700: 2.66 GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 4 MB shared L2 cache, $530.

E6600: 2.40 GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 4 MB shared L2 cache, $316.

E6400: 2.13 GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 2 MB shared L2 cache, $241.

E6300: 1.86 GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 2 MB shared L2 cache, $209.

E4200: 1.60 GHz, 800MHz FSB, 2 MB shared L2 cache, uknown price.

Corresponding platform chipset launch:

P965, Q965, G965: Introduces ICH8 southbridge, support for DDR2-800, 1,066MHz/1333MHz FSB speeds. "Q" and "G" models offer integrated Intel GMA graphics.

As far as I know, the first generation will use the current socket and chipset.

I still stand by what i said.. even if people are just going to ignore it... and besides.. AMD still has 6 months to come up with a good competitor... and 6 months in the technology world is a long time.. i wouldnt count AMD out of the loop just cause you see a few benchmarks of Intel's new chip vs AMD's current chip.. (even tho i dont think it was a far test... seeing how the BIOS of the board didnt fully support the FX-60.. so yeah...)

btw.. heres another site regarding the "benchmark"

just read it.. you might realize something, you might think its a lie.. doesnt matter.. it might even change your mind on this topic... Anandtech did their test in an Intel controlled enviorment.. how do we know they didnt tamper with the AMD system to make it look like the Intel is ALOT faster than the AMD.. maybe is just a little bit faster or not at all.. we would never know but still this is what I believe in..

If you think the test is rigged, compare it to other reference benchmarks with similar settings. Such as here. Sure, we see that the Intel supplied OC'ed AMD system is actually slower than a normal FX-60, but I doubt OCing the same reference FX-60 would have caused that big of a jump:

Why are so many people taking these benchmarks at such face value?

I'm sure conroe will be a very good chip and put Intel back on top so to speak but those benchmarks show the conroe giving upto a 50% increase over the top of the line P4, when did you last see a new CPU that was 50% faster than the current top of the line?

Until Intel start handing out chips to testers i'll take these benchmarks with a massive pinch of salt thanks.

Same LOL, as some guys psoted before on here

http://sharikou.blogspot.com/2006/03/was-a...d-by-intel.html

read throught it got some intresting stuff. there is deffinatly somthing fishy with those benchmarks and i think we should all wait till those chips actually get sent off to testers and then see what the benchmarks are.

Blah blah blah.

Has anybody bothered to read part II of the Conroe article at Anandtech?

They got Intel to update the bios on the AMD machine which closed the FX to Controe gap in the FEAR benchmark only. The rest of the benches were the same and any change was small enough to fall into the usual error margin.

Intel is still 20% > AMD.

because you can eally tell the difference between 350(AMD) and 532(INTEL)frames per second

Because AMD has been beat :)

You all knew it was coming.

I will NEVER in a billion years ever buy a Intel :x :x

Fanboy.

Why not?

Maybe cause hes a Fanboy?

Why is that?

Again, He's a Fanboy.

AMD fanboys are in denial HAHAHA

Yes! :laugh:

I am for certain AMD will respond and win.

Nah. I doubt that, Ive always seen Intel as my chosen processor, and for a reason :)

huh? I've used nothing but AMDs on my personal computer for about 8-9 years now, and never had any problems with overheating... in fact, no problems at all. One the other hand, I knew plenty of people that had problems with Intel chips (not overheating, though), and that's why I stuck to AMD. I've always preferred them, and I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Every AMD I had over heated, either that or got very high in tempreture. And Ive had no problems with any intel over the last 8 or 9 Years.

What makes AMD's product truly better?

Reliability? Got any hard numbers to back this up?

This is a good example of how not to post.

u wanna relax a little with the "This is a good example of how not to post"....ur just soo much better then everyone aren't u...lol

Fanboy? AMD's run very cool, often cooler than Intels.

I dont personally like to take benchmarks on face value or I'll wait for more test from around the place. If they have indeed overtaken AMD then good for them and good for computer users. I dont personally care who is faster, I prefer amd as a company but a faster cpu is a faster cpu so this is good news for computing. EWspecially since we had a while back there where cpu performance seemed to freeze still with not alot happening due to design difficulties.

Lets watch AMD jump back. They will do it at some point, I mean intel just managed once for what seems like the first time in YEARS so theres no reason AMD cant bounce back.

Anyway exciting news, especially since I want a new system a year from now, means I might have something worth getting then.

I like how all the Intel fans (myself Included) said that Intel would bounce back like all good companies do. I also remember all the AMD pets not being able to come to grips with this.

Thats just plain wrong. AMD runs at a much higher temperature than intel - simple.

Nah. I doubt that, Ive always seen Intel as my chosen processor, and for a reason :)

And that reason is......

I'm very satisfied with my AMD and I will not be changed on these few results

    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.
