why are they calling it NForce 5?

[eviltechie]

why is nvidia calling their upcoming P4 chipset NForce 5?

damn it
a higher number means it is more superior than the AMD platform Nforce 4

why cant they just call it IForce 4 or something since it will be released only a bit after nforce4

/end rant

[Jason425]

because it's Intel it IS superior... Nvidia knows this. ;)

[Uranium-235]

oh yeeeah. Intel is superior to AMD

hmm, did intel ever make a chip that's 32-bit and 64-bit built into one? Did intel ever make a memory controller built into thier chips?

[StinkyMojo]

I've read that nvidia will stop making chipsets for amd after nforce 4 :(

[eviltechie]

really?
i dont think so
unless nvidia's relationship with AMD has really gone south due to some big reasons that we dont know about

[Jason425]

nvidia doesn't care about bits or memory controllers.. they want the $.

[StinkyMojo]

well if they the money then they can stay with AMD... >:)
seriously though even if nvidia leaves (though i doubt it), via makes a VERY solid chipset, not to mention their new one coming out soon to compete with nForce 4.

[Dragon]

well dammit, i like nvidia chipsets, and wtf is this about intel over AMD? do you guys use your comps for M$ office only or something? i was under the impression that AMD definitely produced more efficient items. personally, i dont like intel that much.

[Jason425]

AMD is for games, Intel is for everything else basically.. now watch some bum pull up some benchmark to show otherwise... you can get a benchmark to prove anything....

[StinkyMojo]

Actually the new FX-55 beats the fastest EE p4 (3.6 I believe).. totally kicks its ass in both gaming AND productivity.

[Jason425]

am I the only one that doesn't care about the FX-EE battle because they're way out of everybody's price range? I'm talking about your everyday amd vs intel chip...

besides, a processor doesn't make you productive, you do... the processor doesn't stop you from slacking off... 8)

[eviltechie]

well we were talking about the best consumer technology the two companies can offer right now

and stinkymojo gave an example of how AMD has superior fabrication and research at this moment
which translates to better products over Intel

but really, i wouldnt know what to do if they stopped making the Nforce chipsets for AMD
i really wouldnt know where to turn to?
ATI????

[StinkyMojo]

VIA!! I hear their next chipset is going to own..

[Jason425]

w00t for ATi.. gotta support the canucks.. I dispise VIA.. although my raid array depends on that pos chip holding up...

[eviltechie]

i dont know who to support

im a taiwanese so i shoudl support VIA
but i live in canada and ive got my canadian citizenship so i should support ATI

buy both?
lol
