I guess the previous amd-positive title wasnt good enough?
LOL... Intel claim quantity while AMD claims quality. I wonder which is more important...
20 out of 50 of the top 50 super computers use Intel CPU's. So the other 30 supercomputers(in the top 50, with 4 top 5) are using AMD, not exactly something to boast about when you are Intel.
Guess they will try to boast about anything to try steal AMD's thunder.

Intel bags 396/500. When the numbers are THAT polarized, quanitity vs quality is rediculous since AMD processors are cheaper. That means even though it costs less for an AMD setup, Intel supercomputers reign supreme.
http://www.top500.org/stats/list/34/procfam There you go bud.
You said quantity vs quality is ridiculous then spout that Intel reigns supreme because they have more processors... you just contradicted yourself in the same post. Well done.Quote:

The fact that Intel force feed their processors down organisations throats through advertising and monopolistic business practises, which they have been found guilty of, is not a good measure of supremacy.
+1. i guess he's a intel fanboy . supercomputers aren't benchmarked with how many supercomputers are made with a brand of processor but how fast they process a data. Pity intel, in the 500 list, 4 in the top 5 spots are amd based supercomputers than intel based supercomputers considering they have more entries.Quote:

not to mention that amd tend to make there upgraded processors drop in replacements that fit in the same power and heat envelopes as the previous gen. meaning there there an inexpensive (relativity) to upgradeQuote:

Funny claim, if someone really wants to have a feast, there's always a reason... :rockon2:
Probably there are more FIATs on the road than Ferraris, but which one is more desirable?
