fyi error i wrote, C2D DOES BEAT the 939 and AM2 but thing is amd is releasing new designs this summer which will beat intels for the next few years. thats y i stick with amd,

The K8L design MAY beat the Core 2 Duo/Quad. There is no guarantee as of this point, as no chips have yet been produced. Right now, Intel and the Core 2 Duo/Quad are the undisputed kings of processing power. K8L may change this, especially as AMD's 65nm process goes to work (as AMD's reliance on the current 90nm fabrication is one of the things holding it and the K8 back). However, the fact that Intel is working to release the 45nm Penryn chip ASAP may allow C2D and C2Q to continue to produce higher performance than AMD's products, including the 65nm K8L.

All of which should be good news for the consumer as both Intel and AMD continue to push one another. For too long AMD blew Intel away. Finally Intel have raised the bar and hopefully AMD will respond. Qite frankly I don't care for favouring Intel over AMD or AMD over Intel. I just go for the best price/performance CPU that I can get my hands on.

Agreed...that's one of the reasons I'm defending Intel at the moment...I'm certainly no fanboy, both my systems are AMD based...but if I were to buy a system today, it'd be Intel powered.
