i'd say AMD's doing pretty well, considering that they're not as equipped (financially and manpower) as Intel.

You do realize that record was done with a ridiculously high Vcore on LN2, which is wonderfully practical for everyday use?

Added on February 27, 2007, 2:18 amI'd say they're not doing too good at the moment. Market share wise, at the moment, best they have been. But financially, nope, not very good. They recently posted a loss, they are one process generation behind intel now, the R600 is extremely late (nvidia has shipped >400k G80s).

K8L has pwn, as does R600.

That one i know lah
of cos cant use for daily practical usage
and the cooling method also extreme

Yeah, Intel is one processing generation ahead, and so is nvidia.

I don't want them to fall though, seeing that they were the first to stood up a chance against Intel (which pushed intel to the max and released core 2 duo for us ).

Well, they are doing something, not like last time on September 12, 2006, the top of the line (of amd) was pwned by Intel's 3rd most powerful processor.

By the way, I think they need to act quickly, Intel's probably close in making a bigger leap.

Er... nvidia is not one process generation ahead. In fact, it seems like AMD will be first to market with 65nm GPUs.

in term of manufacturing process ..... AMD's 90nm still can do better than Intel's 65nm .... I'm saying about power efficiency.

How do you make this comparison?

Yeah.. Myself too wanna know how u compare it, soulfly.
About this thread topic, surely will go for C2D, nice to OC.

if gv me choose between these 2 processor, of coz i get both....hahaha .

seriously, of coz C2D lor....AMD current is pathetic compare to intel's C2D. just like how AMD k8 vs intel netburst.

sorry. when i was posting, i was thinking of how AMD has progressed thus far despite not being that strong compared to Intel. smaller but they did came out with great chips time and time again.

and yes, i do agree that they're not doing too good at the moment but considering they're a smaller company i'd say they're doing fairly well.

however.... when the amd64 arrived...its supprising us ... n its totally beat the intel until they need to come out the PentiumD n now the C2D... but im sure that amd will supprising us again with a new n better chip that can beat the C2D ... as we know tat PD n C2D is after the AMDx64....so what is the next for AMD?... i think it will be come out soon .... something that will totally beat intel ...

the cycle goes on. just like NV / ATI war.

prior to the launch of Athlons (K6 time) AMD looked like it was doomed.

yes ... u r right ... it is a cycle ... there is no ending for this two company ... cuz its a technology item... all will only better n better ... n its depending on the users...

This statement is only true when you compare with Intel's netbus architecture CPUs.

with all the technology advancement n the speed of development.....the company will gain the benefit...n the user will end up with a piece of history in one year time....

y cant just 1 of the stronger compeny buy another company so tat we no need to decide buy which one ..... SIEN ~
Hope ATi CLOSE AND AMD ALSO GONE
then the world will b peace LOL~
j/k

y not intel or nvidia gone le ........jk....=.="

k k i know u j/k la but really when there's no price competition, then you're going to pay through your nose.

and how? if they come out with suxor products you also have no choice to use.

competition is good.

you must know that AMD is great, they help keep Intel at their toes.

AMD is in the lead according to the benchmarks. If you are considering about price/performance and overclockability go ahead with the E6600

Where u find the benchmarks which is AMD leading ? Athlon X2 5600 vs E6600?
