Very nice article well done! It just goes to show you that Intel really hasn,t been about creating cpu,s for games! I am a Intel fan boy always well be. I have a very fast system myself it is an excellant gamer also but I didn,t spend the $$$$ for a gaming PC I wanted a fast alround PC and thats what I got .If i wanted just to game I would buy the much cheaper X-box. I do want to upgrade but I well wait untill the release of the Merom class cpu;s and that well all come down to if ATI amr works with it . I am sure it well .By the way a lot of bashing going on About ATI X800XT PE.not being availuable and overpriced. I can't see it I got mine last june from Extasy for $499.
I also read AnandTechs Article on the P M with the Asus connector.
I was really quit upset with the way he did his benchies.
1). He did not use the fastest timings on the Intel setup he did with the AMD cpu.
2)never did a clock for clock comparison which is fine but! He should have got the memory bus as fast as possiable to compare processors.
a) he was comparing cpu not memory and to be fair he had to raise the memory bus speed. (to be objective)
But we all know Anand is very bois towards AMD as such his intel motherboards never have the fastest availuable memory setting or the best memory (It well be his downfall people in the know can plainly see that he scews the intel boards inorder to make AMD look even stronger than it really is.
I also have a complaint about how Ananda latest memory reviews.
when the fastest OCZ came out the stuff in your article. he couldn't get it test fast enough it is good memory but Corsair came out with even faster and lower timed memory he he still hasn't posted a review on it .
When Anand did a review of my motherboard and the same 3.2 C intel
at stock speeds all of my benchies were 10% higher than his.
If you go look at his reviews and compare to others on the same hardware you well see Anands are the lowest results for intel cpu,s!!!!!
Than when he does an AMD review his numbers are always higher than other reviews .
Anand shouldn,t do intel reviews because he doesn;t seem to know how to get good results and its to bad. A lot of people listen to his advice .
But a lot of people are beginning to see that Anand could be taking money for a good review.
As far as CPU's go Intel has by far the best Tech except for 1 huge differance. That is the ondie memory controller and thats all there is to it,
As your article has shown P M is faster at the same clock speed . If P M had the ondie momory controller it would be 20%faster clock for clock.This is a conservative est I believe !!! Morem is going to be unreal.
Keep up the excellant work and stay unbois as you have been.
and you never know if it will get where you want it. Things were so much better when i was working for the US embassy can you say diplomatic pouch
