At least it kicks the shit outta apples little "green" campaign.

This is about the Intel i7, not the "budget" amd.  The only thing AMD has to stand on is its so called "6GHz" headroom; of course you won't be hitting anything near that unless you have liquid-nitrogen and liquid-Helium.  Even if you did hit 6GHz on an amd, an intel at 4 to 4.5GHz (on fucking water-cooling) would kick its ass.

The only way your ipod (or anything else) will sync with the surface is if it has wireless.  I know that the Zune is wireless that's why it's in the picture.

There's about 80% more yet to be said in this article

Yes, by looking at the benchmarks the core-i7 lacks in 3dmark, 3dmark vantage and FEAR.  However the rest of the benchmarks show that the core-i7 is kick-ass.  Maybe you should read them again!?!

Cry-baby fanboy just won't let up. 

btw intel core i7 EE 965 retails for $1000 not $1500; please try not to lie, it makes your argument look weak.

Thank God

You guys have based your argument on how well AMD does in 3dmark compared to Intel. 3dmark doesn’t measure jack shit when it comes to modeling, animation, texturing, and so on.  I agree that if what you do is "play games" then buying this expensive contraption is just dumb.  Which is why instead of spending $800-$2500 (still way too pricey for games) I only spend $400 on a perfectly good Xbox 360 and spend the rest on a decent HDTV. They're so cheap it doesn’t matter if they breakdown, just buy the two year replacement warranty and you're good to go. btw I've been in CG for 6 years; don't call me a "junior schoolie"

I forgot to mention that I don't play games, I make them.  If AMD can make something for the workstation class that can beat the i7 I'll be happy to look at it; but for now phenom is nothing but a budget proc.

Just shut up and wait for AMD to come out with something that can compete; loser.  This is "Maximum PC" there's no room for budget cpus here.
