>> In other words, Petz, your post was complete FUD. Nice work, w. I am sure Petz himself does know that. Which is why he holds INTC shares. But he just likes to keep up his message board credentials as an AMD enthusiast.

Your post is complete FUD. The 2nd sentence is a complete lie: "there are not enough peak scores to do a thorough comparison." LOL, on the AMD side, DELL is the only vendor to not give peak scores. They are not the fastest AMD machines. On the Intel side, 143 of 164 scores include PEAK, including 100% of the 3 GHz results. The first missing PEAK score is ranked #33 out of the 2.66 GHz SPECint_rate scores! QED. You pick and choose the SPEC benchmarks you compare. In 4 of 8 comparisons, you even compare dissimilar systems. I picked the fastest scores. I picked identical systems, submitted on the same date. I never claimed that AMD will scale perfectly, but scaling 50% in SPECint_rate and 36% in SPECfp_rate is quite poor. Petz
