why are they calling it NForce 5?

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?

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

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.

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....

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