True, but it still saddens me that Intel is blowing away AMD in so many things, such as Quake, and expecially MP3 encoding, something that I just got done doing a lot of, ever since I got an MP3 player head unit in my car.

I won't be upgrading my system until the next set of chips is out anyways, but I really hope AMD can slaughter Intel soon.

when 64bit comes along(its not realy out even though it is...) for the very first few months AMD will be the best (and the only) untill Intels Yamhill thing comes out then we'll see

Here you go Squick if you want Q3A bench's.
http://www.anandtech.com/cpu/showdoc.html?i=1941&p=8

AMD Athlon 64 3400+ 391.5 fps = $428
Intel P4 3.2 EE 412 fps = $900-$1000

Want to pay dbl the price for that?

yes, but you have to get rid of the coating over the bridges on the bartons, and you can seriously screw it up doing that.

does this get rid of the need to scratch stuff off: http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/fro...tml?mv_pc=3175

And bull Daleon you little lieing peice of crap. The regular Pentium 3.2 is only 385$ Go die somewhere! 8) Whats its bench HUH HUH? Thats right bitch, if you want to make the right comparison you have to use the 1200 dollar 3200fx to the P4 3.2 EE!!

cheap ass

You and you amd loving ass make me ssssiiiiccckkk!!!! For your lies Intel will now crush AMD and its lieing ways!

Either way, considering the athlon runs at 2.2ghz, screw intel

Ait'al, put your hands in the air and step away from the crack pipe!

The regular P4 3.2 bench's 366.7 fps. So at an entire Ghz faster its 24 fps slower for about the same price. This was just to show AMD's new 64 chip and again how they continue to improve and come down in price. Can't wait for them to go 939 and watch everyone switch over. Then you and your precious Intel will be dropped into the fires of Mount Doom where they came from and destroyed forever!
