I know, was only joking. Personally I usually check anandtech.com or
tomshardware.com for whatever comparison they've done recently and go
that way.
I like how AMD Phenom is trying new things in the Quad Core design, but
apparently it's not quite enough to usurp Intel's Quad 2 Duo design.
Probably because Intel seems to have the smaller 45nm process down pat
now and is winning the wattage race.
I always hold out for AMDs latest offering, of the 3 systems I have
running now, 2 are AMDs (an XP and a X2), and one is Intel (Core 2 Duo).
I have 3 earlier AMD CPUs and one later Intel (Quad 2 Duo). I probably
should rebuild the older AMDs and give them to charity soon. Not enough
charity in the world I say.
