Intel Will Change Logotype

[webmaster]

Intel's 37-years-old logo will be replaced by one showing an oval swirl surrounding the company's name. Intel will not also shift focus from PCs into consumer products.

The Intel CEO, Paul Otellini said that they will reviel more details of the campaign during next week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Hardly enough to stop the ever growing AMD.

Right, and you think Intel is sitting in it's comfy chair, doing nothing?

Maybe you haven't kept up with the news, but Intel still manages to have a higher standard clockspeed than AMD.
The good thing about AMD is that 1MHz of theirs, is just a bit more than 1MHz of Intel. But still, Intel has higher speeds. Even if calculated in AMD measurements.
AMD is pretty easily overclockable though. That's a huge pro. Overclockers, gamers and wannabe pro computer users all over the world prefer AMD over Intel just because it takes no more than one pencil mark to unlock the multiplier on the AMD CPU, making it more accessible for overclocking...

Yep I know and I am still an Intel user myself as when I bought my computer I knew nothing at all about computers anyways.
Also yep for the main part Intel are better your right AMD are maily better at gaming and overclocking very true.

Also yep your right that Intel have better standard clock speeds but when it comes to overclocking they already run much hotter than AMD making them not so good for overclocking.

This is what has been said by a couple of user in another forum I use full of hardware freaks and gamers about Intels new Proccessors though.

These new 65nm Pentium dual-cores emit way too much heat. They idle at 80 degrees, in the BIOS, and these are the aforementioned cherry-picked ones. Their performance is more in line with the X2, yes, but the faster models will be competing with the likes of the 4400+, when there are already models up to 4800+. Not to mention that AMD will launch the X2 5000+ (2.6GHz, 512 cache each) and the FX-60 (2.6GHz, 1MB each) at the same time these new Intel preslers arrive. Competing with last-gen stuff while both needing a new motherboard and emitting more heat per square inch than the average volcano isnt the way to go.

Its far better to boycott all Intel products for now - not just because they're bad, but because of Merom/Conroe, due in mid 2006. Those chips will make Intel as competitive as they once were with Northwood 'C' chips. They created a new chip from scratch, taking the best features of netburst (used in Pentium 4s) and the best features of the Pentium M, giving a high-speed low-heat chip. Whether thats enough to topple what AMD will have then isnt clear yet, but it damn well beats Intels current tech.

Heres a link if you want to check out the rest of the thread.

Although I think I will stay with Intel myself.
You should see the diffrence on benchmark results, I can see why gamers like AMD so much.

Some Bechmark Results

Oh and I was only having a bit of a laugh in the first place Freddy chill mate.
You dont work for Intel do ya

The reason that Intel's run hotter than AMD's when overclocking, is that you're practically limited to change the core voltage of the CPU when using an Intel. Throwing 2.6V through a CPU instead of 2.4V makes it hotter than changing the multiplier. The friggin' multiplier is locked on an Intel, so people who want to overclock an Intel have taken their resort to the core voltage modification. I've even seen people soldering on their motherboards, getting power for the CPU from a place it's not supposed to be coming from.

1) Core voltage modification isn't good for the CPU, it shortens its life more drastically than multiplier modification.
2) Core voltage modification creates too much heat.

I don't use Intel no. I thought I'd just give an explanation on the huge difference between Intel and AMD. Most people just don't know what's the difference between both, so I thought I'd share Not that I am really an overclocker though. Could have just put an Intel in my pc as well, wouldn't have mattered. The actual reason I got me an AMD is that it's cheaper than an Intel.

Aup

Yep and there is the other good reason to go with AMD price diffrence.

[ReFredzRate]

Because it's easier to overclock it's cheaper than Intel? Sounds a bit weird...

[johneva]

I know what your sayin dude.
