No. Intel owns the x86 instruction set.

No, it means that no other processor maker other then intel can produce x86 if there is no AMD

Correct me if i am wrong

Even @ mainstream their performance is not good enough, the Phenom 9600 prices @ US$ 279, the same time Intel E6660 selling @ US$ 280 ~ which can easily surpass the 9600 in many benchmarks... So which one would you go for? (unless of course you are an AMD fan)

We may have to wait until next year to see the FX version, weather it'll do the job!!!

FYI, Crysis didn't even utilized all four core (if any...)

if phenom is launched, so there going to be a price slash for d current am2...

phenom is conroe family or penrin family?

i hope AMD can beat Intel again in 2009.

when AMD Fusion vs Intel Nehalem proc.

Not sure why everyone is hyped up over Fusion - it's just a mainstream GPU sharing the same die with the CPU. Don't expect super-1337 performance from the integrated GPU, a discrete part will still pwn it. Same goes for Nehalem's integrated GPU: it'll still get pwned by discrete parts. (last time I looked Nehalem's GPU is on a separate die but in same pkg -> MCM)


VIA has an x86 license.

conroe and penrin are both intel's. Phenom is from AMD

phenom is under AMD , conroe and penryn is under intel . u make a big mistake

The one that deal with nehalem is Deneb 45nm expected 2h08. But I highly doubt the performance since its a derivative of K10.

AMD Claims Intel's Nehalem Mimics AMD Technologies.

lol?
Pot calling the kettle black here it seems

I read somewhere that this proc is a paper launch. There has been no stock even for Tier 1 disti in Euro/US. I am a little bit disappointed esp with the 'errecta problem' but will patiently wait for the next revision.

AMD delays Phenom 2.4 GHz due to TLB errata

AMD Phenom Paper Launch

Intel fans.. AMD fans... OMG!! cut the crap and benefit from the competition!!

Currently Intel is the best bang for your buck.. so go for it.. and AMD is lagging behind.. get over it..

If AMD returns to the top spot... swap "Intel" in this post with "AMD"

i don't want to use jewish technology
hail nazi german!

anyway, are the TH and anandtech testing was using 64-bit OS?

I just don't understand all this calling competitor evil.

If AMD can crush Intel, do you think they will not take the chance? If ATi could crush nVidia, do you think they will show any mercy?

This is all normal stuff. Everyone wants to monopolize the market. At the end of the day, they are all there to make money.

in the end, everybody are just human with desire

Actually, we dont really knw what happen.

For what I learned, intel procs are much more muture than AMD.
But we should take note AMD platform (mainboard + proc) is more economic.

For those who really want highest performance, intel is the choice.
For those who just want to buy a good and more future proof PC, they may consider AMD (no need to upgrade their mainboard).

yeah you are right....mainboard is cheaper...the proc still cheaper than intel pentium e series....amd is best bang for buck if you got tight budget and don willing to throw much money for pc..you can notice difference between amd cheap processor and intel processor in daily usage like surf web, office working?
