Re: Intel's Performance Per Watt to be bad for AMD? (Score: 0)
by Anonymous on Saturday, August 27 2005 @ 10:39:04 CEST
Pure marketing BS as usual.
AMD has the current lead simply because Intel became complacent. Their dual core solution is a hurried mish-mash, and AMD is slowly but surely beating Intel on all fronts.
If you want to talk about Power per Watt, the current Pentium D's are truly awful - less performance than the AMD X2's and twice the wattage!
If you want to talk future offerings, instead of concentrating on catch phrases, Intel needs to actually deliver the products to market. If they do, I'll be happy to switch from an AMD X2 to the equivalent Intel product.
For the moment, even if AMD CPUs do end up using more power, they are simply architecturally better designed and perform much better in games - which is what most high-end CPUs are bought in the consumer desktop market.
