Intel seems to still have some punch left

[Kindred]

You guys seen this article; http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/05/10/dual_41_ghz_cores/

 

I'm not a Intel or AMD fan per say, I actualy like them both, just need for speed for the average buck$

 

It's good reading. Enjoy....

It is a good CPU, but Lockon doesnt really benefit from dualcore. Besides that to run it stable at 4GHz, it consumes >200Watt and you need something more than a Zalman 9500 to cool the cpu.

 

Intels real punch will come with the new Core 2 cpu's. Even if the benchmarks up till now favor Intel, it will still be really hard for AMD to have any edge.

 

Interesting times are coming.
