    Epic CPU battles of history: Athlon FX-55, Pentium 4 EE, FX-8150 and Core i7 3960X

    in General hardware discussion

    Two icons of CPU history, 6 years of progress, 2 top of the line CPU's from today. From an overall point of view, or clock/clock, core/core with the ancients, how much do you think AMD and Intel progressed in the last 6 years? 4 CPU's, two different approaches, a test of epic proportions!

    So, pointing out that:

     

    - Romania won last year => champion

    - Romania, current champion, was 12th => expectations not met

     

    is "cheap" journalism?

     

    There's a perfectly valid explanation why the expectations are not met. It will be interesting to see how the new line-up pulls through in the next couple of stages. Who knows, maybe they will surprise us over the next couple of weeks!

     

    You know very well what I am talking about Pieter, and yeah, it's cheap. :)

    Thx guys, this was a great day, and a great LAB501 and Kingston all day fest!!! We were there from 9 am to 7 pm, we had the live demo, we had a live contest for our overclockers from the forums, a lucky draw, and of course a huuuuge beer untill 3 am in the night!. And might I add that breaking a WR live, with lots of people watching and two television crews filming is no easy peasy :)

    What "defending champions" Pieter? We, the champions, are not participating, nor will we ever participate in any competition where "ES only" is in the rules... And I find it very enjoyable that our guys from the forums are trying their best to see how the competitions feels, and I think they are doing a great effort for this, so I do not think it is fair to their effort to have such bombastic, cheap journalism titles like this to describe their efforts....

    All you FX reviewers did it wrong !!

    Maybe reviewers didn't wanna burn bridges with AMD

     

    Uh, sorry bro, but when a products sux we just say so. And a company who has such a product has to have a mature attitude towards this. Unfortunately, if there are people out there who do not want to burn bridges, a company with a bad product will start thinking that treating reviewers who did a correct job like crap is normal, and actually no, it is not, even if some guys have no spine...

    Uhmm, in fact you did it all worng...you wasted enough time to do a review =))) For us a preview was more then enough to realise how much time Dozer deserves....Heck, this makes Phenom I brilliant (because it did bring extra performance compared to older architecture), and GTX 480 the top notch of cuantinc engineering (because despite it's huge power consumption and heat levels it actually was a very strong GPU). When you think about it like that....oooooh boy.....:)
