it IS news when a minor chip from a behemoth corporation
``Independent hardware reviewers at this month's Intel Developer Forum were given a chance to compare PCs based on Conroe against PCs based on AMD's FX-60 processor, its most powerful chip for desktop PCs. But the tests were done on PCs set up by Intel and run by reviewers from popular hardware sites such as AnandTech, Hexus.net and The Tech Report. They showed Conroe outperforming AMD's chip by about 20 percent, which was in line with claims made by Intel before and during IDF.''


outperforms ... by 20% (in their own tests ...;-) ) a similar one by a much smaller firm, AFTER ALL THIS time.

If this is not NEWSworthy announcements then I don't know what is?

Kudos to Intel: at last you managed to outperform (in a minor chip) your competitor with 1/50 th of your size, after your competitor being AHEAD for years.

If this progress continues, we may see even MS managing to put together a stable and secure PC os. Who knows? I wont be surprised....with the bar being so low, any minor success is a ... great triumph of technology wink

(same to all those who lower the bar to make the underperformer look "OK" ! )
