You're starting the typical argument "you and others are RMA'ing your chips". So far I'm the only one RMA'ing because it actually failed. I will post the same if I buy an ever Intel and it fails. I believe in putting forth information others can use to help with their rigs.
About the Anandtech issue, I've been wondering how many people are watching. Although I respect his articles, he used his review column on AMD to promote Intel. Are these reviewers and companies that valuable to you that you would attack other memmers of this and other forums. You're baiting members here by predicting the downfall of AMD. Hey, the minimum Intel chip starts at $301 next year and rising! Good, cause AMD can now afford to raise theirs. *New Egg is now selling the Phenom 9500 at 299 as of this post.
I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings but Daily used their good name to post inflated info regardless of if XYZ Co. implodes tomorrow. Some of what is posted on those sites is either copied from another site or conjecture by someone that overheard something. Most of it is actual facts but somewhat inflated. I've written in to INQ for inflating stories. When you click on the links or find the real story behind that blurb it's a whole different story.
Hurt my feelings ? You surely jest !
If you do post the same about an Intel chip I will applaud you,and your right to speak on whatever issues you are having with your hardware,as well as seek assistance.Anand did no such thing,now Kyle and others might fall into that category,if you really reached for it (he reviewed the 45nm uber qaud,with Phenom,Anand did not,and called out others for doing so...) As to attacks,I have attacked no one as yet.Show me where exactly,these alleged attacks took place,please.I am curious to see them myself.
I have merely stated the obvious,to those not yet blinded by marketing,personal feelings,and thier own fanboism.
I will be happy to see them both raise prices,as whats going on now,is only hurting the profits of both companies bottom line.Some of us care more for the bottom line and stock prices then the chips.As to higher prices in the future,it was not so long ago,AMD was charging an arm and a leg for the X2's/FX's.It was Intel that came to the enthusiast rescue by offering low price C2D with excellent performance,stock or 'oc'd.This forced AMD's hand into lowering prices.Newegg's Phenoms are too pricy,Try
NCIX
AMD can be just as greedy as any other corporation.They are no saints,and are just as dirty as Intel when given the chance.
DT are doing their job,reporting the news,nothing more.As is Scotts The Tech Report and our very own Ed.Just as you say you have a right to express your dissatisfaction with an AMD cpu of late,so do they have such a right.It cuts both ways I'm afraid ...
Whats really interesting to me,is how many in the tech community are kid gloving the issues with AMD.
