I was wondering why THG wont put up a thing on AMD's dual core chips. They are actually available, yet every piece of news on intel's dual core is the front page top news. I realize that AMD's dual core chips slaughter intel but they are gonna have to put some news up eventually even if it pisses off Intel. Common THG....Every other site has it up and you've had a lot of time.

Well obviously AMDs dual core cpus are inferior in every way possible, nah.

They're available? I haven't seen them anywhere (not that I put much effort into it)

Some people are like slinkies....
Not really good for anything but you cant help smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.

not to say THG isnt like that or anything but is it posible that there working on a huge comparison between like dual core intel vs dual core amd vs dual cpu intel and amd??? or anything like that? its a posibility

All i'm saying is that they put insignifigant news up about intel's dual core but they wont even put up a simple bench comparison against AMD. Every other website has it up and i always like the THG reviews so i hope we will get one soon. Maybe tom's ol neighbor intel gave him a lil cash to not publush some of the embarrassing benchies against AMD since it it once of the biggest review sites around.

Intel paid them. (95% certain)

Tom's Hardware believes Intel is the future.
As thier managing editor sees it, Amd is a flash in the pan, that will never amount to anything.
With that type of thinking, it would be to the general detriment to publish anything that shows Amd in a positive light. After all, every dime that goes to Amd, is a dime not spent on Intel's marvelous R&D people.

Ah, I knew there was something wrong with THG.
Eh I forgot who created the THGC Folding Site, but the homepage of that site should have headline updates on the latest discussion in THGC.

lol, they removed my message, or i forgot to post it..

I'll try to re create it..

THG don't want to piss off Intel.
They know that AMD DC CPU's would sweep the floor with Intel offerings.

Or maybe they are currently testing those dual cores, but wont release results until they find a way to do the Apple (twisting benchmark results).

If THG doesnt post AMD dual core news in the near future because of pressure from intel then this site is dead to me and will be even more of a joke in the enthusiest community.

K8man is right,
I myself also want to know why THG is blatantly expressing every little news detail about Intel's (DC) offerings while clearly shunning AMD's offerings altogether...

I hope thg really are prepping something grand about Dual core like anand and most other relevant tech sites did over 2 weeks ago.

Any news(/hints) mods/admins?

The mods and admins dont bother much with what goes on here. They may not be pleased that these forums have become a hotbed of Amd fanboyism, but that hasn't affected the way it is administered. We have always had a reasonably free hand.

Too free actually.
The webmasters for THGC do really cares about us hence they don't bother with us objecting THG because they know we're right.

I suppose you could say that Fredi(webmaster) is pretty much isolated from THG.

THG does big review that show AMD leading in most of the applications most of us care about. And if Intel does better in business or professional applications, well, THG is trying to move towards that market anyway, so...

When THG does a big comparison it will be all over the place. It will probably show AMD walking over Intel on a bunch of things, with Intel barely stepping over AMD on a couple of things, and have a conclusion that tries to suit everyone. This is normal practice.

This forum is the only good thing of THG at this moment

I'll second that.



It's sad. THG <i>used</i> to be great.
