"The worlds best processors"
- Thread starter stigggeh
- Start date
the new slogan seems to be "the worlds best processors"

I don't think they're lying?

for how long though... quad core here we come.

"World's best x86 desktop processors" might be more accurate.

Well i was commenting on how pants the ad was not if the content was true... that along with the fact that intel feel the need to advertise being the best now, yet they didnt for the majority of the P4 series... but i guess intel's strategy is to only advertise at product launch stage.
but as ever my thoughts are taken very wrong.

Just for Intel's information this is the worlds best processor...

While not something you will see in your desktop, at 8 cores and 4 threads per core this is effectivley 32 cpu's on a chip.
True innovation.

yeah great it runs on an reduced instruction set you cannot compare the two at all. although not on the same scale my P4 prescott runs two threads per core and it is very definatly NOT dual core. RISC CPUs are far less flexible and adaptable than the standard CPU so neither is best
Soldato
Yes but that chip is only good for very specific and rare tasks. It also isn't really a chip that's sold to markets where performance matters, but where concurrency does.monaco87 said:
It's comparing apples and oranges.
Intel makes the best general purpose processors, period.

intel have there head up there own arse, they speak nothing but propaganda about how there products are better than everyone elses, still doesn't stop the fact AMD has been eating away at there server market for some time now and are soon to release there new revision of K8, i mean FFS i remember when they were blabbing that crap about the pentium 4 when the athlon 64 was systematically kicking it all over the place 'buy this dimention desktop with the 'superfast' pentium IV processor supporting HT technology' i smell bull, the whole C2D follows the same propagated load of bull as well, sheesh

Just look at all the other adverts on the telly, the intel advert is a lot more truthful than most of them.
Anyway give them a break they're just trying to sell stuff.

It wasn't directed towards you, it was directed at the X86 comments
how many "enthusiasts" (I don't really like that word) are swayed by advertising though ?
it's more for somebody who goes to Curry's and the saleman says "It's got an Intel processsor" and the consumer thinks "didn't I see their advert on TV ?"...........

i don't, because intel gained control of that years ago, you don't see anything to do with NVIDIA, ATI, VIA, AMD, just intel, that shows how full of **** they really are, they may as well own dell and most other retail PC firms
