yeah, but i like the little guy
and i've read that intel quads are not really quads, just two dualcores on a single die
Phenoms i read are the real deal, a true quad core processor. i don't know what this means performance wise, but it sounds more honest than "its like, you know, having 2 core 2 duos instead of one!"
plus, AMD is actually starting to catch up in terms of the GHz race. the new X2s that are similar price to some core 2 duos, actually match the clock speed or exceed it, like the 6400+ black edition at 3.2GHz
i also have a personal interest in AMD, since my 4400+ has handled everything from ut2k4 to ut3, from quake 4 to crysis, its just a very versatile proc when you look at its low clock speed (2.2GHz, i have socket 939), and i expect all other AMD products are just as rugged.
