The Current AMD / Intel CPU Battle - Why AMD considered losing?
I just built my own computer, and I’ve been planning a writeup, but I’m still doing research because this went so well that I am planning on rebuilding my main server as well now. I decided on a low-wattage AMD CPU (the 45W BE-2400) so I could run fanless, and it was the best decision I made. I decided to look in against the performance of the Core 2 Duo E6600, which has become somewhat of a standard. The performance of the E6600 beats the BE-2400 but the BE-2400 is a $90 part, and as I suspected you get a lot more bang for the buck as it seems you do with all AMD CPUs right now. How is AMD allegedly doing so poorly if it’s satisfying customers with great value like this?
