AMD vs INTEL the battle continues?
dell is quickly switching to AMD yay! but one thing confuses me. over and over again i see people keeping just one intel processor. core two duo. whats so damn special i know its a good processor as intel goes but i was under the impression that AMD always outmatches intel. ive seen lots of sidebyside comparisons but never anything vs core two duo. is it really that good? better than any amd product? athlon and opteron are responses to xeon and pentium so why sint ther ea response to this core 2 thing? any side by side comparisons ? capabilities and actual tests. overclocking etc.
first of all opteron is coming out in quad form soon secondly its a response to xeon not core thirdly duo isnt the name of the processor its a discription fourthly opterons are expensive up the ass and id like a cheaper alternative. i just want the side by side comparison
Try this link on for size. You'll see that even the best AMD chip (FX-62) overclocked is beaten by the 3rd best Intel Core 2 Duo (E6600) at stock speeds. Intel is the best right now. To top that all off, the E6600 is like 320 bucks while the FX-62 is still over $800
It figures that now Dell is switching over. 
Better late than never Dell!
