make a new vid with intel C2D vs 64x2...lets say an E8400 and 6400+ ,the e8500 will be a no brainer co although the the 6400 and e85 are both clocked at abt 3.2 on the 6400 and 3.16 on the intel .the intel wil have the advantage coz it has 4mb more of cache and its gona run much cooler and faster compared with the old 65nm C2D's

I bet my Pentium Dual-Core E2180 currently overclocked to 2.66GHz can outperform the Pentium EE 840 (Pentium D 840 with H/T) in that old video.The Core architecture is much better than the old, slow, and obsolete NetBurst architecture.

Go AMD

These are older processors. The newer ones out today are rather different, obviously.lol at all of the fanboys.

this is the stupidist video ever

if they throttle down as in speed step power management the hole system will screech to a torturous slowdown, power management is not responsive and the startup latency is unacceptanle, thats why its important for performance DESKTOP processors to be able to idle under 9 watts without power management or it just oozes in lag state!

You're either stupid or joking. I hope u r joking. 2x 8600gt(s)s isn't better than 1x 9600gt. Its the other way around. 9600gt having the equiv. gaming capacity as 8800gs and even the lower spec. 8800gts (g80) 320 mb. What you are saying is that 2x 8600gt's can beat an 8800gts... rite? Well...? Like saying 6600NU can beat 6800 ultra =/. @timmie, lol, doesnt matter. no one really cares if phenoms were actual 4x single cores or if quads were 2x dual cores. the quads still kick ass.

Intel chips don't run that hot anymore. The older Pentium 4s core architecture surely did. However, in the never duos, dual cores, quads, extremes. i believe that they don't. I ran a e2180 @ 3 ghz (thats a 50% oc) (stock = 2.0 ghz) and i got 25 degrees @ idle. (that was when my pc wasn't filled with dust though). currently, its sitting @ 29 @2.85 w/ 1.37vcore. Though, i am using an aftermark. hsf, which was worth the $35.

AMD chips do run hotter than Intels typically. Intels with throttle down when under any kind of heat and thus run cooler (made to survive without a fan or heat sink) but they still use the same amount of voltage, it's really stupid actually. AMD's don't throttle and thus will constantly run hotter, the architecture of AMD allows them to use fewer watts per measure of processor time VS the Intel.

Luck taken into consideration, I'd never work on one without a wrist strap. I've never blown a component out either, but that isn't going to make me change the way I work on them.
