    the performance/W thing debateable both ways, both intel and AMD claim that based off difrent measures, I think intel uses less energy on the whole though... not sure though, it's compairing unreleased apples to oranges...

    http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=32595

    performance wise that article is a bit off from reality and they fail to note that HT and direct connect allow the opterons to scale better. I will say that Woodcrest stil rpaes k8 on the whole though...

    well... for a bit when conroe is released...

    long term though it can only go down... intel's gone from 90+% marketshare to way lower, people have actually heard of AMD now...

    Define fanboy. I support Intel, but if the competing AMD processor is better and is just as good bang/$, ill get it.
