brb switching to AMD forever
[QUOTE=Zombii;24910829]Opinions now make you illiterate. :bravo: They're charging you for HT and you're fucking supporting them.[/QUOTE] I still think Intel is better than AMD, even after this.
[QUOTE=Tetracycline;24910845]I still think Intel is better than AMD, even after this.[/QUOTE] Of course they'll still be better, doesn't mean people should support it.
[QUOTE=Zombii;24910863]Of course they'll still be better, doesn't mean people should support it.[/QUOTE] But that's the thing, Intel is just testing it out, and if the consumers don't like it then they won't do it.
[QUOTE=Tetracycline;24910890]But that's the thing, Intel is just testing it out, and if the consumers don't like it then they won't do it.[/QUOTE] People don't like Activision's business strategy's, but they still do it. The thing is, most regular people think this is completely fine.
But Intel is definitely not Activision, Intel isn't run by idiots...or at least no one ever complains about Intel's ownership
Haha, this is the most retarded thing I've heard in weeks. Fuck you, Intel.
DLC for the PC
is this windows software because the only way I can imagine this really working for everyone is if it's actually a BIOS lock
Hardware DLC
:wtc: intel
[QUOTE=Zombii;24910608]So if this goes through we'll have to buy shitty AMD procs?[/QUOTE] lol AMD is by no means shitty. In the low end market, they beat the shit out of Intel, and they compete pretty well in the mid-range market.
[QUOTE=GamerKiwi;24912259]lol AMD is by no means shitty. In the low end market, they beat the shit out of Intel, and they compete pretty well in the mid-range market.[/QUOTE] lol yeah not like intel has better processes than AMD in every price range
I bought a Phenom II x2 for $90 which has the same performance of an E8400 that is twice the price. I unlocked the other two cores, now I have a quad core that's twice as fast as the E8400 for half the price. Fuck intel.
I used to think Intel was cool.
Would the processors that come with the card cost just as much as other processors or would they have reduced prices?
Brb torrenting more speed.
Like someone said, it's most definatelly gonna get cracked, stop whining.
[QUOTE=Tetracycline;24908723]This won't go forward, they're just testing things, and AMD will never overtake Intel lol[/QUOTE] The new bulldozer processors are meant to be revolutionary design and performance. I love AMD, but deep down in my heart I know Intel is probably going to out perform them.
I expected that Apple would be the first one to do this. Because dumb mac-users would probably pay a monthly fee to get access to overpriced hardware they already own and have paid for.
[QUOTE=orgornot;24915436]I expected that Apple would be the first one to do this. Because dumb mac-users would probably pay a monthly fee to get access to overpriced hardware they already own and have paid for.[/QUOTE] Not even apple would get away with that.
I think the next processor I'll be buying will be an AMD. Intel has gotten very annoying lately.
I have a feeling that this will keep on happening in the future. "Want to be able to save profiles and progress in your game? Buy this saving feature for $10!"
