For some time, people have been comparing AMD to Intel and saying "hey, AMD is better". It's like, okay... fine, whatever. I personally don't like AMD so I'm going to keep buying Intel. But I digress... To the point.
Here are some benchmarks for the latest processors. Before anyone tells me that benchmarks lie? Give me a break. They only seem to lie when people don't like the outcome. Anyway... check out the numbers. Intel is faster than AMD at the moment.
But, oh! Ho, ho... suddenly... you can't compare AMD to Intel because they're "apples and oranges". What? Since when? Apparently, the fanboys didn't bother thinking that while AMD was ahead, did they? Now that they're losing, they try to make the comparison pointless. It would have worked for them if they did that before this came out... but, nah. It didn't matter then.
Is AMD better than Intel? Maybe. They seem to whine a lot as a company, though. But that's not the point of this post. (I have experienced AMD processors before... they're nice. I mean... they're processors. Not much can go wrong if they work. I just don't have the money to switch my entire desktop to AMD when I have a bunch of Intel peripherals to use up, first.) But it just seriously ticked me off that all these AMD fanboys turned into a bunch of hypocrits and totally decimated any respect they had in my eyes.
