I actually missed this CNET article comparing the performance of AMD's dual core processors and Intel's. Just got to it today when browing elsewhere. It did suprise me that Intel could not even make it to the top in even 1 or the seven tests.

Hmm. better performance at a lower price?? A very difficult to beat combination. As I am planning to get a new computer in the next 3-4 months, I suppose I need to start checking my options, instead of just going for the latest Pentium??

Looks like AMD is having a wonderful 2005. Their sales figures have been very good this year. Dell seems to have started stocking AMD CPUs now. And they have beaten Intel hollow on performance.
