Intel kicks AMD's butt

yeah,

I waited months for the X2's to come out thinking id get a smoking deal and that they would be just as available as the core duos.

Its crazy, I have never heard of a company actually retreating like this, its like AMD new they didnt stand a chance and figured thed just go back to the old drawing board.

Thats business for you, i think its great for buyers and the market cause intel had to slash prices and fight there way back to the top of the mobile scene.

X2's are all but a distant and fading memory for me, and after months of researching laptops and boards ive decided on getting KN Executioner, more on that in another post..... so excited!

So that's what AMD did with all those X2s.

Agreed. The last I read that was months ago. That AMD was making X2s better because of Core2. But still no X2s. Since AMD has no X2s for anyone. Looks like we have to wait for 4x4 from AMD.

Yea, I think the BOSS and I are talking about rigs with decent GPU's. You actually CAN get the X2's with integrated graphics, and obviously you have one there with some sort of dedicated graphics, but with Athlon X2's specializing in ass kicking games, where's our GPU's?

What the heck we going to do with 25x more CPU than we need for the GPU?

Thanks for the update on the X2 though, good knowledge.

speaking of turion X2s on a socket S1, has anyone heard anything about the Semprons on socket S1? i was contemplating one when i needed just the mobility (save money with a cheaper cpu), and upgrade to a "real" turion X2 when i actually needed the horsepower.

i've (finally) seen a few Turion X2s around, roughly the same price for same specs as core 1 duo (yonahs). but i think i'm still gonna put off a laptop as long as possible now, and blow my cash on a new desktop...

Wow, it's MAY already?

Boss, i think you need a Wakizachi with a T7400 C2D in it to start weening you off the AMD ledge.

Agreed. Since they have the same price as Intel or higher.

There are plenty of backpacks out there that a 19" will fit into.

Hello all, first post here.

Been around computers for a few years. I've been an AMD fanboy for quite some time. Along with Nvidia. That being said, I've always turned to Intel for my mobile computing needs. I prefer Nvidia/Intel solutions, but will take an Intel/ATI notebook, and did with my ZD8000, if it means cooler temps and longer lasting equipment.

Intel, as you all probably know, have laid down some whoopage on AMD with the introduction of the Core2. For the first time since 1994, I am looking at building an Intel based box for my desktop gaming pleasure.

Just in case you were wondering, it will be based on Nvidia's Intel Chipset and Nvidia graphics boards. But anyone with half a brain can see that Intel is now the computing King again. For everything.
