as some of you may know for the last year or so i have been over on tomshardware doing my thing. over the last couple of weeks i have seen a rise in the amount of amd fanboys making more and more outlandish claims about how good there fx cpu's are... its so bad its not even funny. going from over the top performance gains to bias from the whole of toms... im wondering if you guys are seeing similar on your preferred sites... |

1 guy managed to find x-plane 10 performs on average 5 percent better than the 2500k but fails to count like for like ie comparing his fx to the 2600k or old i7 both of which outperform the fx on that very game... seriously its stopped being funny and is getting annoying that they cant accept the reality that they are payng more and getting less... there logic is that because x-plane 10 will use as many cpus as you can throw at it, that its the new benchmark standard... the reality is that any

more than 8 threads , you dont see any noticable change in gameplay unless you throw more than 3 gfx cards at it as well...

its not even that bby intel have better chips for less money so if you want budget power intel are the choice of the discerning buyer.

@ 1971efc - 9.02.12 - 11:57pm benchmarks set using intel compilers and libaries from what ive heard,,, even heard intel settled the claim with amd but by then the damage was already done,,, but what would i know about such things thing is intels x86 is based on amd's own design. meaning that anything that an intel chip can do an amd 1 should be able to do just as well if not better... those claims were made by people who dont program so wouldnt know the first thing about compiler codepaths and libraries. |

Selective benchmarks are stupid anyway. Anyone worth their salt will use a bunch of benchmarks, most modern as possible and some old stuff too to represent average user.  Intel easily wins overall. It can never win every single time in every single bench, nothing does. But if it wins 8/10 comfortably which the intels typically do and don't lose by much on what it does lose then it is clearly vastly superior

Cyrix, formed from former texas instruments staff and designers. Didn't get along so well with TI. They merged with another company in the late nineties which ironically was sw*llowed up by the ever expanding TI last year....
