Oh it's still a good horserace, rajen. Notice how carefully they avoided all the
particulars (FSB, memory type, mobo, etc.) for this test?

I was going to write something like "and if you want your donkey rendered and
encoded a million times, you should get a jackass intel CPU to do it!"

But, punchy as the above is, I like intel CPU's AND AMD's also, and have one of
each. For chess, I find the AMD significantly quicker, but your favorite
program, with your memory, your mobo, may be different. Check it out on your
system, and compare with others.

It's a great horserace, and we consumer's are always riding a winner!
