Stupid AMD activists. You do realize that Intel has had 64bit CPU's for a few years now? AMD's a n00b here and just running the hype.
Granted the only diffrence is that intel's 64bit cpu's are aimed at servers and AMD is saying that theirs is for desktops. Sure, whatever. Doesn't matter. AMD is, once AGAIN, behind intel by years.
I'll try putting it in some perspective.... last year AMD let out some sneak peeks that showed they are just a few years away from technology similar to Intel's hyperthreading. Intel already has this out for some time.
AMD said the highest speed cpu they were working on was around 6ghz.... Intel was already working on getting multiple 10ghz+ cores on one chip.
AMD said they are going to be coming out with 64bit cpu's, 64bit cpus have been around for years. It's nothing new. Just AMD's entrance into the game is what's new.
I rest my case.
Yes, AMD is cheaper. heh heh... cheaper. They cut corners and build quality and rebadge them so they seem like they are under estimating the speed. Bah, AMD has a LONG way to go to catch up to Intel.
