It's worth noting...: ...that these were all 32-bit tests and that for all practical purposes, AMD crushed Intel's dual-core chippie doo - the ones you still can't buy, even though AMD has been shiping their Opteron dual core chips for months and A64 X2 chips for weeks. In 64-bit tests the results are even more one-sided in AMD's favor as Intel's cobbled 64-bit instructions are a sad to say the least.; Posted by: realitycheck101 Posted on: 05/31/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
