We've been using AMD CPUs for a long time on our clusters and workstations because they were not only cheaper but also faster on floating point operations whereas Intel was faster on integer operations. Now we are switching to Intel because AMD lost this advantage and has problems delivering the ordered number of CPUs. I personally stick with AMD because they have a factory in Germany and I don't want Intel to rule the market as they've done before AMD came up with the Athlon XP. --=-s9dwCnd72WvgtQ2FiNwn Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBH5UQxqs4uOUlOuU8RAl/OAJ9YVV22F2T1bLPif7T4ltCFYDrmYwCeLCxD G62EPd5eT+YC19k1cbpJjGY= =GlJH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-s9dwCnd72WvgtQ2FiNwn-- -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
