    Intel yet to rise to AMD's dual-core duel challenge

    Back in August, AMD, keen to show off its dual-core processors, challenged Intel to a dual-core duel. The idea was to benchmark a commercially available AMD dual-core processor against the equivalent dual-core Intel offering. Regular benchmarks, public testing, and a clear winner (perhaps?)

    There's only one snag, Intel hasn't risen to the challenge.

    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Faster single core prosesers could give intel a step a head for non-multitaking users. The cruch is really going to be in the hands of software and operating system manufactures over the next few years, if they really embrase Dual Core then they could easily leave intel in the dust.

    Plausible.. But the fact is, Intel isnt doing very well with their single core Prescotts at the moment anyways.. Cedar Mill will alleviate a wee bit of their power loss issues, but they are still essentially backwards in terms of raw processing power..
    Me want Ultrabook

    Now understand I am an AMD fanboy. But I can understand why intel isn't accepting the challange. They aren't sutpid, and they know they'll lose.
    See System Specs.

    The new dual core Pentium Ms would give a good 32bit run for their money. Espesually when they start playing the power per whatt card (hmm the p4 is bad, they seam to of realised.)

    This year intel lose big time. We all know that! Even Intel knows that's why they are introducing a new architecture next year. So why still keep bashing intel? Can't we be patient?

    I don't see anyone bashing Intel in this thread, just people telling the truth.
    Bored of the old one, new one coming soon
