looking at the colour of the bottles I would say it would be like drinking either Anti-freeze or Washer fluid!
Seriously though I'm not going to be drawn into this argument. I was an AMD man for the 1st part of the last decade then went over to intel. Having said that, I've got a soft spot for AMD & may consider going back when I next upgrade.
It's a quad core vs a quad core, you can leave any perceived marketing classifications out of it . . . .
Than the AMD® Athlon™ II X4 620 that is Indeed the question!
Your capacity to digest imperical evidence is quite amusing . . . you have already been spoon-fed some test results where the i7 is shown to be lacking but you have disregarded that in your subjective bias . . . if there was any doubt in my mind as to your lack of understand of logic you have demonstrated this beyond count in this one single thread . . . I have no doubts in my mind that you are beyond reason and rational thought but I have to endure your *contributions* to my thread still!
I think it would be abundantly obvious to anyone reading this thread that certain people are struggling to understand the O.P let alone the details contained herein, you have managed rarely to grasp what this debate is about and truth be told it makes no odds to me however you continually spam with off topic discussion in an attempt to pervert the logical path I am attempting to take it . . . and for this I do not owe you a debt of gratitude!But some people are still struggling with this concept.
Hello 1337z0r,
. . . I do believe the AMD® Athlon™ II X4 620 makes a lot of sense once you rid yourself of any marketing bias and simply look at the facts presented . . . I'm confident anyone moving from an LGA775 system will indeed appreciate the new technology like the IMC . . . . the problem seems to be you have to go against the pack and lose the herd mentality that seems so prevalent in our community . . . I don't mind what you do but I am glad at least you considered the Full spectrum of hardware and did not limit your choice, good luck! I am amazed that anyone can construct a sentence using the word INTEL® Core™ i7 920 and Bang-for-buck contained within!
ffallic, there is a lot wrong with your post and I do not wish to admonish you but I feel it is my duty . . . firstly and *most* importantly you have the sides all wrong, it is not AMD vs Intel . . . it is us the people vs the huge nameless, soulless corporations that attempt to dictate to us what we need and what we should buy and what the price is . . . I have picked the lesser of the two evils to pit against the giant that is Intel® Corporation . . . I forgive you for making the incorrect assumption that this is one of the old classic Intel® vs AMD® flame wars but it is not, I have transcended that divide and conquer mentality that has been imposed on us so that we cannot logically discern right from wrong and continually squabble and bicker while the truth remains elusive. . . let this thread bear witness to that truth . . . I am honestly trying to unite us for the greater good and would ask you kindly to realise I have your well being and the well being of all my community as the highest priority. I would be grateful if you could join in this discussion without any bias except that which I have already spoke of and perhaps together as a group we can reach a satisfying conclusion . . .You know, I’ve never been one to pick a side, or say that one thing is better than another, but this thread makes me want to start marketing for Intel
Hello Meaker, I am trying to get a group of people to focus on two specific products of my choosing and it is proving very hard indeed!
Hehe just to remind you the subject of this one single thread on this one single sub forum one this one single forum is:
Yes Jon, I'm not sure why there is such a problem here, most curious that people cannot logically compare two specific products of my choosing!
. . . . sadly the truth of this upstart is being supressed by the media . . . the same media that runs entirely from advertising generated revenues . . . do some homework on what the Intel® Corporation spend annually on advertising and marketing and then you may begin to see it is nothing more than a logical fallacy, specifically Argumentum ad nauseam, I am saddened how little people are not thinking for themselves and there is so much substantiation necessary in these matters but it is abundantly lacking* heh! (*oxymoron)
Hello 1337z0r,
I am of the same opinion however this view is not shared by the many!

Intel currently rule the higher-midrange and the high end and AMD are doing a great job with their low-midrange processors. I'm not at all familiar with either companies marketing practices and I'm certainly not defending them, but I personally wanted something high end for around 300-350, saw that the i5 didn't cost much more than the equivalent priced AMD setup and had a fair bit more raw power and decided to go for the i5 over less speed and crossfire capability. I think I made the right choice. Sure, you could say this current setup is too good for me, but would it have made much sense to go for an AMD 965 system which is better at nothing and costs about the same?
