AMD Does Trust its CPUs After all, to Offer Intel on Project Quantum as Options
AMD issued a statement on its upcoming Project Quantum SFF gaming desktop featuring Intel CPUs. The company clarified that it will offer both Intel and AMD processors, in the interest of consumer choice. AMD pointed out that the star-attraction in Project Quantum is the fact that it features two "Fiji" graphics processors in CrossFire configuration, to serve up graphics power unheard of, for this form-factor. Buyers will have a choice over the CPU, so if they feel that a CPU of a particular brand serves their needs better, they can make that choice.
Project Quantum will be an SFF gaming PC designed for super high resolution gaming. The company collaborated with liquid cooling majors to come up with a custom solution that cools the CPU and the two "Fiji" GPUs, over a common coolant channel, and a single large radiator. The system is split between two thermally-isolated chambers, with just coolant tubing and wiring running between the two. The bottom chamber features the mini-ITX form-factor motherboard, the dual-GPU video card, the SSD, and the power distribution PCB (PSU is external), while the top chamber is dominated by the radiator, and other liquid cooling components, such as the reservoir, pump, and a single large fan.

Does this mean that the other post, in the news section, will have its title changed? It kinda seems as though that's only fair, being the actual news....
That means i will have to use intel until further notice. Not gonna delude myself that i will get a better product if i chose the red camp for now.
why? and why it (old article) bothers you?
I have no issues with editorials, but when an editorial piece is labelled as news somebody had to fix it.
The people at AMD's marketing department are idiots; to have Intel on an AMD branded machine is a shot in the foot. Better to suffer a performance decrease under some circumstances (which would be manageable considering the double GPU).
AHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAH
:laugh:
maybe AMD did read your previous thread on Quantum @btarunr and said "oooooh to hell with that, let's end that!" :roll:
speculative i know but AMD is considering spinning off various parts of itself into separate companys and maybe resurrecting the ATi Brand

W1zz is a fan of hookers and blow :D
Higher resolutions are always more CPU demanding than lower resolutions but he difference is not that steep as with GPU. If a CPU can't get to 60 FPS at 1080p there is no chance it will manage at 4K.
