Are you gonna bump every kentsfield/Quad-FX thread with this fanboy BS?

I like AMD too, but right now, Intel is faster, end of.

Yes, I know facts hurt, but that is life. I’m into NEW innovative & architectural technologies, regardless of what company comes out with them, so when you call my post “fanboy BS” you are clearly referring to yourself. So, next time, please refrain from these adolescent remarks.

Take Care,

Take Care,

I refrain from the adolescence if you stop bumping month old threads, just to spew the same stuff you've already posted elsewhere.

Facts hurt?? You're going on about how superior AMD's version of quad core is, way before they've ever started fabbing the chips. Going on about 'real world' benchmarks that quad FX looses in 90% of. i'm not sure what point you're strying to make, but bumping dead threads wont make it any more valid.

You've even argued with people who've actually had hands on experience with the chips over how good they are and what they can do.

Yes the next gen Athlons might blow the doors of Intel, but right now they dont. Simple. Even if the QX6700 is two dual cores thrown together, it's the fastest chip going and will be for a while.

Read my first post. I've said nothing about superiority in regards to AMD's upcoming Native Quad-Core's, I am giving advice on my experience with the highly priced at $1,288.00 Kentsfield (Which we have a few of them on display as I write this). Sure they are fast, but like I said B4, there is nothing innovative about them. They are overpriced for the performance you gain out of them. If they were to drop in price, then that is a different story, as for now, there Price/Performance stinks. Just what we tell our customers. Though the Core 2’s & Athlon 64 X2’s are both flying off the shelves.

Firstly from the prices that I am aware of there is not much difference between the price of a QX6700 and a X6800 for the extra 50-60 quid I know which one I would have.

Secondly do you think it is wise to inform your customers that your shelved products price/performance stinks ? You wouldn't want to go the way of Gerald Ratner

No, but when I can sell 500 Core 2's & 500 Athlon 64's ? Umm, ya the price/performance stinks for the Kentsfield

Anyway, most of the time, it is the customer which needs advice in there purchase. Anywhere you go, the Kentsfield right now, stinks in price/performance, but as the price drops well bellow the $600 mark, then that is a different story.

hmmmm couldnt you just overclock your E6600, put a decent fan on it, and have it run faster then something you have to pay twice as much for?

Exactly - why buy an X6700, when the FAR cheaper E6600 or even E6300 will outperform it in almost all todays apps with just an ickle bit of overclocking

and with a lot of overclocking...

E6600 @ 3.6GHz and E6700 @ 3.9GHz do some pwnage I tell thee

Exactly never mind quad core
