Hmmm..., perhaps I should configure myself an AMD system once again, and then allocate the extra budget for a top-notch LCD monitor for example... (I noticed that a high-end AMD platform is still significantly more affordable than an entry-level Intel Core i7 platform...)

in Pentium III era..AMD pawned Intel..

in pentium 4 era as well.rmb the fail prescott?

it was only when the release of c2d intel manages to catch up and dominate

anyway @ts
since u mention the budget 1,get amd.or if u prefer intel in ur heart,try get a second hand q9450 or above.

dat time a golden time for AMD..but the Dual core making intel take the crown again..
as now i would say AMD catching up..
as they focus on performance rather than making fastest core..

Actually, I think this thread is good. So far all sides of camp have been civil and backed up their statements with sources. Makes a very interesting read.

well.... all except 2 intel supporters. But keep this thread going, its interesting.

ya agreed.. faster core can be done by doing some overclocking..

but we all have to admit that Intel cpu better than AMD at this moment..
its only a matter of time.. AMD has their own dark side and even Intel also have..
who knows next 2 or 3 year AMD will doing came back with more powerful processor..

can we close?

more into fan-buayaism already
TS should get the answer already and through google he can see also

Can if u want..

TS just take any cpu suit to u and in your budget..

TS decided already la..amd rig one

nice decision

for me, it's simple.

if i got no budget issue, for sure i'll go for i7.
but if budget is my issue, amd will be my wise choice.

even with lower stock speed (compare to P2), i7 is really fast oredi...

for TS, amd is a wise choice.....

For performance and better resell value Intel always, for bugget type AMD

yup..i hv to admit Intel better than AMD at this moment..
so TS..it ur choice..

budget go for AMD..

OT:

is now a good time to build a new pc ? when is intel's i5 coming ? is amd gonna make phenom III in 2 weeks time ? is ddr5 gonna be available tomorrow ? usb 3.0 bila keluar ?

i can answer 1 question..
no Phenom III..it Phenom II..

no la, what i meant was are they going to make a new processor that is better than phenom II in the near future ? i dont want to regret buying phenom II just to find out they're gonna release a new one in 1 month like that

im afraid no..there is no news bout Phenom III..
the only news is about 6 core Istanbul..

are u sure amd run hotter than intel?
or history tell u

amd run hot in certain models only eh... you cant always use the same theory apply on every amd proc..

yup..n some intel model hv heat issues too..

don't say intel is the best ok?? THE worst of the worst is what i have... Pentium D... aftermarket cooler and 60+ C on idle...

Price to performance ratio= AMD wins
