As we mentioned before don’t waste your money on AMD’s Phenome, first it was slow, then it had a bug which caused it to freeze, now it is patched and that makes it Slower. Read More

AMD’s brilliant response…… Cut R&D and give up on making the Best CPUs.

Gamers Don’t buy AMD Phenome products… It’s Game Over at AMD!

And we thought our stance outlined in yesterday’s post was going to controversial!

Gear for Geek’s Adrian Kingsley-Hughes lets loose:

“I’ve come to the conclusion that you’d have to be a sucker to be an early adopter of AMD’s new quad-core line.”

“if you’re gaming, overall performance sucks.”

“instead of giving your money to AMD, you instead buy an Intel Q6600 (Intel’s smallest quad-core) you see an overall performance gain of 13.5% against the Phenom 9600 and an 18% performance gain compared to the Phenom 9500″

“it’s a shame that the hardware isn’t really all that impressive”

” AMD have put time, effort and truck loads of dollars into developing a quad-core processor that really isn’t that good”

“AMD just can’t deliver the power or price point to be able to compete against Intel on anything but the cheapest silicon”

So much for our controversial stand……

I guess that is their only option now. Sorry AMD Serious Gamers know better. Count the Buzz words in this video:

Also checkout this youTube video. Wow what a great advancement an overclocking app


YAWN!

Make a better CPU and Gamers will buy it. Save your money for the engineers and quit wasting it on this dribble:

The memory manufacturers grossly over estimated the sales of Windows Vista and the demand for DDR2 memory. There is now a worldwide oversupply of DDR2 memory modules. What does this mean? Well it means now is the time to stick some more DDR2 into your box. A 1G stick is now selling for as low as $24.95. Last year you might have paid over $100 for a similar amount of RAM. I expect we will see prices spike as we go into the holidays… So stock up while the prices are low!!!
