Intel responds to Barcelona benchmarks
In response to AMD's Barcelona benchmarks Intel demoed its V8 platform. Two quad core Xeons at 3GHz with 16GB RAM score an impressive 4933 pixels per second in POV-Ray. In comparison AMD's quad quad core Barcelona (16 cores total) score just over 4000 pixels per second. Even though AMD did not mention the clockspeed and said the final version will run faster AMD still uses 16 cores while Intel uses 8. Of course Barcelona is not yet a final product, Intel is not impressed though.
Besides that Intel also demoed a Penryn which outperformed the current top of the line quad cores by 40%, quite impressive.

What ever Intel releases I will not even think of buying in my dreams. I am a strong supporter of AMD. All my PCs are AMD. I wish I got a AMD at work!!
Remember those days when AMD was under dog to Intel and was making CPUs for Intel? Remember how bad they were treated??

You are from OHIO....I understand you cant comprehend some things lol
The story reported, in MaximumPC and CPU magazine and at least a dozen others, is that Intel, shortly after AMD released the 64 processor, had two independent teams working on the next P4 successor chip (or whatever PX chip it was). One team came with Netburst, and of course, we all know how that ended. The other team started over from scratch. Something unheard of. They built off the centrino technology and pentium M technology and thus C2D was born. The only thing Intel lacks to completely compete with AMD is integrated memory architecture. Apparently, this is coming in the Penryn. AMD better take a few queues from Intel and try some of their new architecture out.
