Fastest PC in the World, and it's an INTEL

What ho? A twist!

"Having taken it on the chin in just about every review over the past three years, Intel has now re-engineered its next processor line-up so that it… well, does more without cooking computer innards. Forty per cent faster with forty per cent less power consumption is the promise.

Intel let some of the internet review sites bench a new Conroe processor, matching it against AMD’s top-end dual-core Athlon 64 X2 FX60 running at 2.8GHz. Despite only going at 2.66GHz, Conroe wiped the floor with Athlon FX60."

YAY

It's called FUD.

Intel: Look we're getting our arses handed to us on the dual core front, server cpus and hell even single core (but our laptop marketing has been uber successful so we own that space), but hey look our next product not yet released is waaaay better than anything AMD has out now.

Some things never change.

We'll see if it's FUD soon enough I guess.

Remember what I said earlier? Become platform agnostic. Pretty soon you'll be a glass half full guy like me. Then you to can get excited over the prospect of a shiny new CPU architecture that'll make yer games go faster... no matter what mega-corporation happens to be building it.

It still depends on what price bracket the new CPU from Intel falls into.

I would say I am indifferent as to who is poducing the gear, If Intel were prepared/capable of putting a CPU on the market that compared on value for coin and performance then I would buy it. Its been a long time between drinks as far as Intel goes though.

I was commenting more on the marketing "spin" being applied rather than highlighting any personal preference although to my mind of the current generation the AMD products are superior pretty much across the board, except perhaps in the portable sector where the (P3 derived) Pentium M is a great product.
