| | For those die hard AMD fans out there, it looks like Intel is set to take the lead with its Core 2 Duo due to be out sometime in July. Thus far it has thrashed an overclocked AMD FX 60 and has much lower power consumption.

So if you are thinking of buying a new pc, might want to hold off for this one...read many reviews about it and it is promising.
And if you have an AMD already don't bother shelling out for an AM2 setup which gives DDR2 support...apparently it doesn't help performance eat all. Just stick with the socket 939s.

Damn, why does new things always come out during the time when I buy a new computer. This sould very interesting. I just bought a Dual Core Intel Alienware computer. Now they are releasing a new type of Dual Core system? Just my luck to be again, left behind the technology department. I was hoping I got the newest tech out for just a minute, but nope something just have to pop up around the corner. Thats technology for you though, new things pop up very fast and you can never really keep up to date with things now a days. =(

Computers are always like that...Especially with graphics card it hurts a lot...Few months and poof the price of your card drops by 50%. Don't fret too much, you still have till the end of July lol. There is always going to be something new around the corner and if you keep waiting you'll never get a computer. However Core Duo 2 has been announced for quite a while and Intel has taken special care to hype it up. I'll be interested to see how AMD replies.

We might be impressed by this, but 80 percent of the computer users doesn't need this. Most programmes and games run really well on ordinary processors. Not only that, but this new Intel Core 2 Duo will most positively be VERY expensive. While it goes out something new will already be on the way and we will never be satisfied.

The core 2 duo is out now actually  Just noticed it got put up on Dell for desktops about 2-3 days ago. Only reason I noticed was cause I ordered my new laptop last week and was checking up on its status. Looks like Intel just got ahead of AMD for once . I got my laptop yesterday and its only a core duo but it sure as hell outperforms my amd athlon 3500+ so the extra core must be doing something, and the core 2 duo can only be better especially with the faster core speeds, goes up to 3ghz I think. ALSO the prices for it are not bad at all very comparable to the AMD X2's.

lol, guys, remember this: Intel Core Duo 2 IS A 32-BIT core. In contrast, the Athlon 64 X2 is a 64-BIT core. It still seems like AMD is still in the lead, however, the X2 is quite expensive still... xboxrulz

Even though it is a 32bit chip does it really make that big of a difference especially if your just gaming seeing that most games are STILL 32bit. The only reason I can see getting 64 bit processors are if your into developing stuff for them OR if you are just diehard bleeding edge technology personage  . I admit 64 bit does add to performance but honestly for regular useage 32bit is more then enough. Also 64bit is still flakey concidering that there are barely any drivers for it, my keyboard and mouse are unsupported  makes me sad.

lol, well.. I dunno, 'cuz Linux and other opensource OS are 64-bit ready out of the box with barely any problems. xboxrulz

Overpriced. Expensive. Fast. Awesome. Sharp. Sweet. But overall I would say the intel core 2 duo is: not worth it. 2/5

Please take note that the new core cpu chips comes in 775 pins.. this pins can be found in the motherboard and are very tiny.. the price is worth it if you get an intel duo but the pressure of inserting the cpu chip or upgrading your pc parts is great.. you can virtually damage the whole motherboard by bumping the cpu assembly.. the pins are so tiny that a small bump may potentially damage the pins.. damage pins on the motherboard will force you to buy a new one.. ------ i am on a dual core with dual channel DDR1 memories.. it works fast even if i dont have a video card.. i assembled it myself since i prefer to use mix pc parts..

for modest systems perfomance. The U1300 and U1400, that work respectivitly 1.06Ghz and 1.2Ghz, are
the firsts Core ULV ( Ultra Low Voltage). The TDP ( Thermal Desing Power) announced, has only 5.5

Intel 800 Series Or AMD 64 ?
Which one u thik is BETTER (10) Ok freinds, As I am an imparcial one, I decided to use a middle end procesor to compite the best of
AMD, I think an Itanium or Itanium 2 is out of discussion as they are real IA64 CPU and have more
than 15 years on 64bits. BUT, talkin on 64 bits EXTENSIONS as these two, wich one is better? AMD
have the MTU on CPU, Hyper Transport and other stuff. 8xx have Speed Step, SSE3, Enhanced Net brust
and others.. I forgot 8xx is DUAL CORE, but not hyper threading (only extreme). THE FINAL FIGHT IS
NOW!!. WICH ONE IS BETTER?, PROVE IT!.....

Intel nor AMD Have Ever Seriously Tried
Why Overclocking Continues To Exist" (5) Have you ever wondered why neither Intel nor AMD have ever seriously tried to stop overclocking?
There's been times when they looked like they would. There's even been times when I thought
they would. So why haven't they? How Big Are We? Are they afraid of losing our business?
No. The best guesstimates of the overclocking population seem to center around 1% of the computer
population. It may be a bit higher; it may be a bit less, but that estimate is probably not too far
wrong. 1% of the CPU population means about 1.25 million processors a year.....
AMD And INTEL major diffrence
(33) Recently I got a video about Tom's Hardware where the tested out P4 processors with the AMD
ones. This is what I saw, TEST GAME : Quake 3 Arena. The game was started and the heatsink was
removed from the processor. After a couple of seconds, AMD got burnt and also screwed up the
processor. But gave peak performance until it finally commited suicide. INTEL machine got switched
off.. Possible hanged! Motherboard. Performance went on decreasing until it finally went off to
sleep. So, what do you think?....
