Phenom II isnt bad at all and pretty competitive, and the slowest version of the upcoming DDR3 only phenom II is faster than the current fastest DDR2 offering, so iD say AMD is still in the race- I have used both AMD and intel processors and If the new DDR3 offering is good.. I ll go for that.. plow the savings into a bigger LCD :)

Overall AMD have seemed directionless for a while but its slowly and painfully getting back on its feet. Intel still does rule though. we need another Athlon 64 and now for AMD to truly come back

 

Wait, what?

Processors aren't measured in DDR3 or DDR2 in any way whatsoever. lol

Intel rules the roost right now, but I hope AMD catches up soon.

 

umm.. DDR is the memory type..intel currently supports DDR3 on their quad cores wheres phenom supports DDR2, which makes sense since equivalent memory on DD2 is 1/3-1/2 the price as DDR3, and the mobos for DDR3 cost more. The newer upcoming phenoms will support the faster DDR3 memory. Hence them getting more competitive. AMD has never been about cutting edge. Just cutting price at good performance.

Core 2 Quad supports DDR2.

i7 supports DDR3.

 

Both are quad core.

 

 

yea but phenom is priced cheaper than the C2Q and DDR2 is considerably cheaper than DDR3
