Down with AMD! They sold their souls to the middle-east! INTEL FTW!
You do know that Intel's top CPU design team is from the middle east, right? They are the ones that gave us the Core and Core2 microarchitectures.
Personally, I think AMD is trying to be posers to see if people will think thrice about Phenom and so forth. AMD's processors suck because of a matter of bribes under the table from Intel to the software developers. If successful, AMD might buy some time to restore the stocks that they deserve, not what they lose for. Nehalem is one thing with eight threads on the run on an applicantion that will commit suicide to support, but a 45nm Phenom spotted being OC'd to 4.1 Ghz on decent cooler with blazing fast memory speeds, thats another thing. Once games finally support tri or quad core processors, believe me, Nehalem will be a dud just like what the Pentium 4 is when the Athlon 64 came along.
That is about the biggest load of crap I have ever heard spouted off in a news thread. Intel and AMD both use primarily the same instruction sets, and therefore share the same optimizations. Intel can't bribe developers to make their cpus run better, because it would make the AMDs run better too.
As for games: Umm, how about SupCom? It's fully Quad supported, and guess which chip wins?
You should actually do a little research on cpus and how they work before making nonsensical posts like this.
