so many of you think AMD is still in the game...



In August 1995, the calculation of pi up to 4,294,960,000 decimal digits
was succeeded by using a supercomputer at the University of Tokyo. The
program was written by D.Takahashi and he collaborated with Dr. Y.Kanada
at the computer center, the University of Tokyo. This record should be
the current world record. ( Details is shown in the windows help. )
This record-breaking program was ported to personal computer environment
such as Windows NT and Windows 95. In order to calculate 33.55 million
digits, it takes within 3 days with Pentium 90MHz, 40MB main memory and
340MB available storage.

The core 2 duo is certainly putting the ball in Intel's court. Too bad that many people jumped ship to AMD long ago when it became apparent that like the American auto industry they were selling overpriced underperforming products and had been doing so for years. For the longest time any gamers or power users have looked only to AMD for their procs.

I have no plans to switch back to Intel (in a desktop anyway) in the near future and I know many other "power users" (the people that buy the high margin products when they first come out) that feel the same way. Only time will tell if Intel can come back or not.

It's no secret Intel continually dominates AMD in the floating point arena. AMD will still walk all over an Intel box when it comes down to I/O performance and memory handling.

Just because it can do REALLY REALLY fast FP math, doesn't mean that will translate to better performance for the apps that I run.
