 | SOS, DD - Just smoke and mirrors What would you expect from the InHell Dumbazz Forum???
Come-on now is ANYONE gullible enough to believe the B.S. InHell has been peddling for years??? I know there are some sheep out there, but even InHell FINALLY admitted their dual-core Pig 4 was only two chips glued together. Funny they refused to open the box and allow journalists to see this hack while they claimed they actually had a running dual-core Pig 4.
SOS, DD.
IMNHO, by the time InHell releases ANYTHING of value, AMD and others will STILL be technologically TWO years ahead and actually SHIPPING product instead of blowing smoke up everyones butt !
If I had a dollar for every defective product InHell has shipped I'd probably have more money than Dollar Bill Gates! | |  blacksky join:2003-02-08 Bonita Springs, FL | Hmmmmm.... taylor01.mi.comcast.... That address looks familiar.. | | |

For the 8 years my computer company has been in business, we have sold 2461 Intel processors (to date). Care to guess how many have come in bad? Zero, none, zip. Of all the ones we installed here, how many have gone bad? Zero, none, zip. Well there have been 7 come back in surged (lightning, the entire machine was lost) machines. 11 tried to return with bent pins after the user tried to install.
Over all, we have never received a single DOA Intel, or had one fail "for no reason" in 8 years.
AMD? Well, out of 1983 total sold to date, 97 came in DOA (14 were the new Semprons), 114 went dead in the first year "for no reason", and 9 died from surges (lightning).
0/97 hmmm, well, the numbers don't lie. In fact, AMD's have our 3rd highest RMA rate. 1 Power supplies, 2 Motherboards, 3 AMD Processors, 4 RAM, 5 HD's. If I had a dollar for every bad Intel I've received, I'd still be broke. But if I had a dollar for every bad AMD, at least I could take the wife out for a nice dinner.
I am not an AMD hater. Intel has their backers, AMD has theirs. But, has anyone ever noticed how the AMD lovers/ Intel haters are SOOOOO much more polarized and adamant about their views? Politics, Processors, and Mac/PC. -- Never argue with a fool, people might not know the difference. | |  | from my experiences people who usually have an amd cpu go out on them was usually due to the fact that one that didnt use a quality power supply, two use a stock heatsink instead of purchusing a high performance heatsink and the cpu ended up running out of the temp specs. due to high ambient room temperatures. All easily avoidable. | |  novaflareThe Dragon Was HerePremium join:2002-01-24 Barberton, OH | reply to owenhome said by owenhome:said by DUHgetacluefool :

But, has anyone ever noticed how the AMD lovers/ Intel haters are SOOOOO much more polarized and adamant about their views? Politics, Processors, and Mac/PC. AMD more instructions per clock intel fewer AMD higher performance per clock intel lower. To have the same performance as a amd you need a intel cpu close to 60% faster. Intel is still playing the mhz game and feeding the line of bull to their customer base. Intel brags about high fsb speeds and supper fast mhz ratings yet in reality fsb means very little if you have fewer instructions per clock. Intels 64 bit cpu plans would have ment we would have needed to upgrade every single application we owned or suffer with 32bit execution speeds of a 500 mhz cpu. Amds 64 bit cpu infact runs 32 bit apps a tad faster for various reasons i wont bore you with (higher mem bandwidth and a few other things major and minor).
As for higher amd return rate 10 to 1 those were all from overclocking wich is easy on amd and much harder on intels. Ive rmaed intels before and waited nearly 2 months to recieve the replacement. On amd rmas ive gotten the cpu back so fast i doubt amd even got my cpu before sending out the replacement. Out of 3 amds i recieved 2 back in less than 10 days and one took exactly 2 weeks -- DSLR security chat at us.ausirc.net chanel #dslr_sec lets pack this channelopen source dns server for *nix and windows »powerdns.com | |  owenhomekeeper of the magic blue smokePremium join:2002-07-13 Bentonville, AR | I make no claim as to which is faster. AMD is faster than Intel, Intel is faster than AMD. It depends on the app. They are both fine products and have my respect. I recommend both, be it for different reasons/applications.
Some probably were due to OC but that does not account for the DOA's. The vast majority of AMD's I've returned were DOA or died before delivery to the customer.
Keep in mind, this does not account for regular builds. Those are usually from bare bones that are supplied from a vendor with the CPU already installed and benched. My numbers are only from custom builds, counter sales, and upgrades.
AMD does have a great product, don't get me wrong, but there is a need for both AMD and Intel products. Intel does have far fewer QC problems than AMD but you pay a premium for that. I would even venture to say that's the reason why you see Intel in so many more integrated systems.
If I were going to build a system with a critical mission, something that's extremely difficult to access and service after installation, maybe like climate control, it would definitely be Intel based. If I wanted an easily accessible storage server, web server, game box, etc. it'd be AMD. With servers, as far as I'm concerned, M$=Intel *nix=AMD. -- Never argue with a fool, people might not know the difference. | |  envoid join:2002-12-21 Duluth, GA | The whole problem with your AMDs could also be your supplier(s). Especially ones that are greased by Intel. | |  Samwoo join:2002-02-15 Rancho Palos Verdes, CA | reply to DUHgetacluefool Wow dual core is two cores?
I wouldn't have thought of that before...
OF COURSE DUAL CORE IS TWO CPU CORES PASTED TOGETHER hence the name dual core. | |
