Enduring the Horrors of Two Godlike Machines
Posted by Damion Chaplin in "HARDWARE" @ 08:00 PM
"Let’s be clear: I wouldn’t toss either one of these machines out of my office. I like them both a lot, but they are different. The AMD is a gaming rig with good sound that supports SLI and is better designed for that use. It is also a good workhorse box, and you have to work to find any headroom issues with it. The Intel is fine for gaming, and as it is configured with an 8800 card versus two 7900 GTX cards in the 4x4, graphics performance is near identical. It lacks expansion and it is one expensive puppy. But, if you are into video or photography or just want to have something no one else will have for some time, this is the box for you."
Rob Enderle over at Digital Trends gets his hands on an Intel V8 machine, and compares it to his own AMD 4x4. Intel may be calling it a workstation PC, but it blows the pants of what I'm running right now. Wanna feel like your rig is pitiful? Give this article a read. :wink:
