Byron Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Hey, I just got done reading a few reviews of the intel 6xx processors that are 64 bit eneabled. It seems like Intel has kept their strategy of making bigger (almost useless) features that make the processor look better. They packed their core with 2mb l2 cache, and from anandtech's review, there are very few programs that actually benefit from it. This increase in l2 cache also brought down their performance in other categories due to a 17% slower access times to data on in the cache (HA!) Basically to sum it up, it tells that amd-64 processors stand up very strong/ if not better (depending on the test) compared to the intel-6xx processors. One funny this is that in gaming, ALmost EVERY and processor tested (3000+ to fx55) tests better than the intel 6xx line! This is a ll I can write for now, but I am sure i'll make fun of intel a little bit later. Anandtech's review Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemrboo Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Intel vs AMD wars about to break out IMO Intel don't seem to be doing that well at all lately. Well, i'm sure they're still making their money from all those people that still think clock speeds matter etc etc but Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoLoDreaM Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 as long as the casual computer internet surfer user is around, intel will be around Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemrboo Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Not that you exactly need 3.8GHz to open a web browser But yeah, Intel are known so they'll always be here. Also means us AMD fans can keep on laughing at the competition Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolzero101 Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Intel is becoming almost like AOL. They won't go away no matter how much they suck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemrboo Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 And ThermalTake Don't forget them!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSternMystic Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 as long as the casual computer internet surfer user is around, intel will be around 430474[/snapback] Can't forget Intel's Pentium-M. That's ONE place AMD hasn't even gotten close to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackHead Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 All I got to say is I am an intel man, but I am fully aware that amd blows intel out of the water when it comes to gaming. Intel is more corperate hince the higher prices where as amd is slowing coming out of the slot as underdog and being put into more and more computers... As for the intel 64bit compatible processor, I was just looking at that on newegg and was like "intel makes 64 bit...?" but after reading that short yet insightful review I will most likely not ever thing about buying it again lol And markiemrboo whats wrong with thermaltake?
