It's interesting to se nospam taking such an interest in Windows. Something must have happened... i didn't say anything about windows. |

I'd say that 95% of all PCs including laptops have intel CPUs the rest AMD.Actually, any *decent* CPU from both manufacturers is a very good choice, much more critical, important and overlooked is the mobo and PSU. Better get a decent mobo and an AMD CPU than an intel CPU and a crappy mobo. it's not either/or. it's quite possible to get an intel cpu *and* a good mobo. And at least an 80+bronze PSU, as it's *very* critical for the health of your components. (I am talking about traditional PCs;not tablets, laptops et al.).When I say decent I mean at least an A6 from AMD or an i3 from intel;pentium, celeron, sempron, athlon is a no-no. i3?? who bothers with an i3 except for low end crap? |

Don't count AMD out. At one time, their Athlon processor outperformed anything Intel made. It can happen again. |

Don't count AMD out. i'm not, but they're definitely the minority and by *your* numbers, their share is *shrinking*. At one time, their Athlon processor outperformed anything Intel made. and sucked down power like no tomorrow. that doesn't work very well in laptops or mobile. It can happen again. yep, with arm. |

Outperformed.. depends on your POV.

It used a lot more power than other cpus of the genre, and, they had a tendency to fail from overheating because AMD went cheap and didn't include CPU self preservation technologies. When the first Athlon was released, it was faster than the Pentium III running business software and even faster in gaming. Bottom line is that the performance of the Athlon was superior to the Pentium III. Yes, there was a tendency for failure from overheating if the CPU fan failed but as long as the fan didn't fail, there wasn't a problem. |

[OT] IrfanView resizing quirk

wrote: What software are you referring too? I've been using AMD chips in all of the desktops I've had over the years (with the exception of the first one I owned which came with a Cyrix CPU - remember those?). I've built systems with AMD CPUs and boards with Via, nVidia, and AMD chipsets and never experienced any issues running software. I'm talking about the "typical" for me software such as WordPerfect, Office, Photoshop, and some others - no games. So what's the oldest AMD machine you have that runs Windows 10 reliably? I don't think Win 10 runs on ANYTHING "reliably". But I have a machine running Win98 on a K6-2 450 at the sitio (ranch). That's reliable. Well, at least it does not spy on me.... OT up, the subject line has been ignored too long. []'s -- Don't be evil - Google 2004 We have a new policy - Google 2012 |
