core 2 vs. x2 4800

[quux]

the 4800 939 is a steal right now at 2 something less than what i payed for my 3800 it is fast big cashed anc will cream any processor at price/preformance

Why do n00bz continue to spam post here, especially when they have no clue what they are talking about....


Poor guy....a mind is a terrible thing to waste.

I envision someone who is about 13 happy hes getting a new processor and trying to convince the world its the 'BEST THING EVER', regardless of how true it is.
Sad, but there it is.

Intel? I havent owned an intel system since the pentium 60. You're desperate in the same manner the OP is. Any conroe E6600 and up is simply superior, end of story.

Heres a hint: When you're paying just as much and getting less performance, that is not a "deal", its stupid.

The real "f@nboys" are those who ignore the truth, like you seem to be doing.

The Op posted his question in this forum asking for advice. You can feel free to give it without calling names or putting him down. Read the rules again. If you cant respect other individuals, then you need to close your yapper.

With that said. If you want to recommend Core2... As per the Ops request then do so. If other people want to recommend A64 as per the Ops request, then they can also do so....

Have a nice day.

1) you arent a mod
2) learn to read, the guy has 4 post and all of them revolve around him getting this 4800 and "creaming" conroes
3) he did NOT post "asking for advice". This is where the learning to read part comes in.
4) I really like this numbering thing
5) People come in dropping "f@nboy" and you choose to talk about me. Rather idiotic, I must say.

Ohh ohh ahh YAY!!! I love this quote game!!

1: yep...
2: read? I dont know what your talkin about.
3: Then point it out to him. If that doesnt work... Ignore him.
4: me too
5: Well. It's a fun word, that applies to most people on this forum... I think it's fair.

OK, than be happy with choosing the company that has more architectural problems with their hardware than the competition. Pay $600 for an upgrade that only does 20% better than AMD (in real life tests, not the synthetic crap), that is what is stupid.

But than again, we'll be playing this war again once K8L has hit the streets. Its' a shame that people pay for the PR hype and temporary glory that Intel has at the moment. If I was aiming my comments at you, I would have stuck your name in the post. As you can tell, I did not. My comments were for those that wish to attack the thread with their sarcasm.

I'm starting to heed the warnings that were given to me before coming to this place. Yep, oh why did I ignore them?

The $325 E6600 destroys the $300 4800+, that is the crux of the matter. You dont need to buy a $600 conroe for it to happen.

I'm wondering how it is "PR hype" when every reliable review site across the net spelled out the same message?

 

[fireluxx]

I was quoting $600 for an E6300, Gigabyte DS3 and 2 x 1GB of Corsair PC2-5300.
My last upgrade only cost $400 for the X2.

Now you're just throwing in things completely off the wall. I'm done with this thread, theres no argument here that makes any sense from your end.

 

[fireluxx]

You're just refusing to understand the facts and got swallowed up by Intel. Oh well. As for "reliable review sites", unfortunately there is no such thing. There is a "scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" policy between the vendor and the reviewer.

I have absolutely no idea what is happening in this thread, did the OP even pose a question?

if you want to keep your current mobo than go with the 4800. i have the conroe e6600,and this thing is faster than the fastest processor there is the fx62.

 

[Baditude]

Ok, I do want to keep my current AMD setup and not have upgrade my motherboard and memory. Right now AMD is vanilla and Intel is chocolate. If the Kid likes vanilla so what. He has his rights just like you. This is the AMD section, now please take your chocolate ass back to the Intel section. This is not the Blue Bell Great Divide forum. Now it's time for some ice cream

PS.. for those poor souls out there in Yankee land that don't know what the hell I'm refering too, Blue Bell is the best ice cream in the country. They make a chocolate and vanilla in the same carton and call it the Great Divide. Only in Ice cream can you have the best of both worlds!

10% difference does not equal superior in 32-bit. 64-bit well don't get me started in how a conroe can't touch a AMD there. Its a great 32-bit performer sure and outperforms AMD at a decent difference about 200mhz to 250mhz. But 64-bit is end of story worse them a AMD in performance. I would say conroe is a nice boost from the pentiums and finally beats AMD in something. It only makes AMD 2nd best in 32-bit but not in 64bit or servers. So your statment is only wishful thinking. As I showed, my 3800+ X2 at 2.9ghz beat a stock E6700. A 150 buck cpu beating a $600 cpu is pretty good. You simply save money when going AMD.

You can't reach 3ghz on a conroe unless you have a 150 buck board and its not going to be decent. 200+ for the good ones. I payed 70 bucks for mine. Full upgrade about 300 bucks. And I'm thinking of upgradeability rather then a 10% performance difference from a AMD. If your on a pentium then go for the conroe. If your on a AMD its not worth the change to a conroe. You'll pay 2x the money for something thats only a small difference in benchmark performance and none in realworld. WHY? Its not a insult to conroe ofcorse cus thats not it at all. Its that hardware cpu wise is so fast SOFTWARE is its only limit, limiting its true performance. Not all programs use 2 cores or 64-bit at the same time besides windows.

All you need is anything with 2 cores and "true" 64bit performance to be good for the future. The real fboys have experionced both and know what they are talking about. If you have 32bit windows, thats for the Conore. if your going to stay with 32 bit stay with conroe. Don't go 64bit, it will perform worse then what it would on 32-bit. If your going 64-bit in the future go with a company who knows how to do it right. AMD! Don't say I told you so if you go by just the hype. I'm a truthful guy and know my stuff as a computer builder and modder for 3 years for my customers. I only recommend AMD always have and always will.

Hmm, Xbitlabs seem to disagree with you regarding 64bit Core2 performance:
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/core2duo-64bit.html

They tested a wide range of 64 bit applications and while the overall GAIN to 64bit is slightly larger on AMD64, overall 64bit performance is still LOWER than C2D.

You will find that both AMD64 and C2D don't have perfect 64bit implementation, as there are quite a few applications that perform worse in 64bit than 32bit.

 

[AngrySheep]

cant we all just get along.


if you are on a budget..............core 2 duo e6300 + asus p5b deluxe = $390


390 greenbacks for 3 ghz. i mean thats just tough to beat.
granted overclocking is a gamble (that i thought i had lost, see threads in intel section) but seeing how its real world performance is only slightly lower than a 4600x2 even when run @ stock speeds..... i mean, its just a hell of a deal.

 

[zero_vertical]

personally i love chocolate.

but i'm upgrading my cpu (a64 3000+) and i can do it for $300 right now for a 4800x2, rather tahn $600 for a new mobo, ram and chip.

no brainer for me, but not for everyone. i'm sure some people are ready to drop a big budget on a new pc, and conroe is a great option to maximize performance.

why do these threads exist? it's like people fighting over whether turkey sandwiches are better than ham.
