Bond, Desi Bond!
IN those two years that Intel sticked to LGA775, here are the changes from AMD
Sockert 754
socket 939
socket AM2
socket am2+.
Only AM2+ is backward compatible with AM2
And if you think that AM2 is future proof, take a break.
AMD is moving to AM3 with support for DD3 in Summer 2009. So, stop giving the bullshit that AMD rig is future proof for 2years and have no scope for upgrade.
As it stand now, Nehalem has the best option in this aspect. It's a new socket that is already released and will be in market in few weeks and it is the one that Intel is going to use for next few architectures taking it to atleast 2010/2011.
Intel brought in lot of changes that rocked the industry and AMD. Thanks to them, PC's were able to cope up with gaming industry. If Intel released better processors regularly, that's called agression.
Forget about 1year. They are going to use same socket LGA1366] for next two architectures atleast. That means once you upgrade to nehalem, you are safe. Unlike AMD that has to change their socket for Bulldozer a.k.a Fusion platform.
Ah. What a lame comparision. Can you please provide the link from where you got this results. I would have to show that guy how to use E8500 coz he apparently don't know how to do that. Moreover, everyone is shouting gaga that games are not yet fully utilized by game developers. I showed you earlier the power that Q9300 has over 9950 BE in video rendering and encoding/decoding.
In Video rendering, you will find that 9950 stands nowhere near to Q9550. If you really want gaming, chec kthose tests comparing E8400 with 9950BE. 9550 will be kicked out of the arena with minimal effort.
Enter Nehalem, game developers will now start utilizing all four cores. And then, believe me my friend, Q9550, Q9300, i7 will be on a whole new level when compared to 9950 BE.
PS: my processor is AMD 3000+ and my GPU is 2600XT but I do know that AMD stands nowhere near to Intel even if they consider their fastest CPU. They are for budget conscious buyers and certinaly not for hardcore games with good budget.
either you have no idea about microprocessor market or you are just searching for reasons to support Quad cores.
i AM not an AMD fanguy ,,, k ,, but worth for money i am saying AMD phenom 9950 is final edition available quad cores in the market ,, that means it has some thing little to do for multitasking
That is because for two years, Intel struggled to design a microarchitecture that could give them advantage and they had to stick to P4 till that time.
It's not sold out in market for 3years dude. It was sold and that was the time when AMD made lot of gain in market share.
I don't know from where you got those stupid benchmarks or did you search for a site that shows no difference between AMD and Intel rigs/

Check any VALID review and you will find lot of difference in speed, be it gaming or video/audio rendering.
PS: why am I trying to argue that Intel has clear advantage?? Every sane techie on earth is aware of this hard cold fact that they have the performance crown.
