Look at the CPU benchmarks over at tomshardware.com They seem to like that new Core 2 Duo. The one thing you learn is that much like a horse race these 2 companies swap the lead often.

Is AMD better than INTEL
by Bruceice - 10/7/06 10:39 AM In reply to: I NEED TAH KNOW IF AMD IS BETTER THAN INTEL!!!!! by Gigity Gigity GooI wasnt a big fan of Intel until recently when they rolled out the CORE 2 DUOs. Because I wanted the ultimate machine I decided to go with Intel just to see what they had under the hood. I have to tell you, the CORE 2s are smoking! I think the ads with "the worlds best processor" are worth the hype. There isnt a huge difference in heat dissipation but the performance has peaked for relatively the same amount of heat. Yes I second having a look at tom's hardware and sites like anandtech. They seem to give Intel a heads up. And I hear very soon a quad core processor from Intel will roll out with the same architecture as the CORE 2.
In a nutshell, I would say Intel is the safest way to go. But it would be stupid to think that AMD is asleep as this whole thing happens, even the people at Intel know better than that!
I have never trusted Intel after all the recalls !!!!!!!!!!!

Video that explains why I don't use certain AMDs

Funny how this video always comes up even though those types of AMD processors can only be found on ebay. Current AMD processors have the same kind of thermal protection that Intel does. Your post was used for nothing more than manipulation. Displaying the shortcomings of antique technology to influence a decision about current/future. Besides, who the heck runs their processor without a heatsink?
As for gaming, unless your running your games at max settings and max resolution, most people can't tell the difference during normal game play.

Newegg still has them.

Even after AMD updated the protection diode we still see this issue. I wrote that I only don't use those exposed core units.
Does this upset you?
