My AMD 965 X4 Phenom II blah blah blah is at 3.6ghz stock cooling, and it handles every game fantastically, and I paid $140 shipped and taxed NEW. Now, compared to how I could've gotten an i5 750 for $220 at the time, I think I made a better decision. Especially because 965 performs better in some games than i5.
But who cares? Anymore than an i5 or 9-5 X4 for games is almost pointless if your GPU can't keep up.
insert AMD vs Intel, nobody cares if you have an i7 or phenom II x6, in the end nvidia is going to make a cpu and destroy both companies. you know it's going to happen.
good god both brands have pros and cons can we just leave it at that

AMD and Intel know way more about cpus than Nvidia. Nvidia would have alot of catching up to and it would cost them billions.

AMD is honestly the better choice unless you really need the extra bit of performance intel has.
Also AMD 6 core $190 : Intel 6 core $1060, Intel I7 4 core $300

[QUOTE=MasterG;27894840]All this AMD vs Intel stuff is annoying.
I don't care either way. I'm without a PC for another month, which is bull frickin' horse-shit.
Also, I'm looking forward to overclocking my 4 cores to 5ghz each, 6 core 2.7ghz amdfags...[/QUOTE]
I'll lol when someone posts their 1100T running @ 5ghz

[QUOTE=y0haN;27909167]Probably the fact that their chipsets don't melt sata ports[/QUOTE]
It doesn't melt them, and It's not like AMD doesn't sell triple core processors that are actually defective quad core processors.

A GPU is still a processor. Yes its not doing alot of stuff but it is still technically a processor. Nvidia has made chips with up to 216 cores in it so it is safe to say they do know a few things and if they wanted to enter the market it would not be that horribly hard. I am not saying it will be easy as intel and AMD are deep into manufacturers pockets but they can push out a chip.

The problem with AMD is that they make alot of processors at once, test them and if any core fails, they hardware lock them and sell them here. So when they print off all these processors in one day, they end up with alot of crap ones because they don't reject them if they fuck a test up. This is why intel chips cost more and are generally more stable.

Because AMD prints out all these processors at once then hardware lock them instead of simply rejecting them, they can save the consumer alot of money but you pay for it when you actually want to do something useful with it. Intel rejects any failed processors which drive the price up yet gives us a chip that works.

More probable that Intel ends up buying Nvidia, giving them a solid 70% of both CPU and GPU market and then they take over the world.
