AMD having shorter pipelines is a small contribute to its edge. AMD has HTT while Intel has HT. Intels HT works great for mulitasking. But HT works as a dual core, which not all applications are compatible with. All Microsoft applications are, since thats a regulation. But their are tons of application that cannot utilize this feature. One bad feature about Intels longer pipelines and HT. Is if data becomes corrupt, you have a bigger latency. But the worse thing about Intels, is that they have FSB. The FSB carries data from your processor, to vital computer entities. Such as your RAM, HDD, AGP, PCI, ect. Dont forget FSB does not work nearly as fast as modern processors. Thus FSB
is among another Latency in computers, just like RAM. So a 800mhz FSB is a bottleneck, even a 1ghz is. Which Intel equips their 1000$ EE with. What you want from a system, is everything to work near the same speeds. But when will we see 6ghz cpus, 6ghz FSB, and 6ghz RAM. When you have components that work with each other, but at different rates, you have a handicap system. But thats just normal. But one extremely GREAT contribute AMD64 has, is HTT. HTT is a unit built into the processor itself, which does the same task FSB does. HTT handles data from the processor, then distributes data where it needs to go. Just like FSB, it enables your processor to communicate with hardware devices. Dont forget FSB is integrated in the mobo, thus more latency you inherit. Since HTT is a unit built into the processor, you have the least amount of latency. Instead of data coming from the processor, to the fsb, then to hardware. It comes from the processor then striaght to computer entities. But what makes AMD64 socket 939 HTT so damn great, it works at 2ghz. Thats the biggest reason why AMD64 have such low
operating frequency's, but are great for instructions.
Another great feature about AMD64 socket 939, is they have REAL dual channel RAM. Not like Intels onboard dual channel RAM. AMD64 has a special DDR unit built into the processor. Which increases bandwidth eminently. Over all i think AMD is pure architecture, while Intel just keeps increasing operating frequency on their processors. But i like them both, since they triumph in various areas. I just respect AMD, unlike Intel.
