AMD's Slides Showing That It's Faster Than Intel

05:51 - Monday 14 September 2009 by Marcus Yam - source: Tom's Hardware US

Those are some mighty fine numbers you've got there, AMD.

Last week when AMD officially launched its new ultrathin mobile platform codename Congo and the mainstream notebook platform codename Tigris, the chipmaker also provided in its marketing material benchmark charts showing what it believes are key performance advantages over Intel's offerings.

While we won't be able to confirm any of these performance characteristics until we get our hands on test platforms, but if these numbers are true – particularly for the ultrathin category – then we're excited to see competition in the mobile segment.

This article is mostly pictures, no words. How about a summary of each image before submitting the article?

Not everyone here is on landline broadband and can afford waiting for images to load for like, 5 minutes.

Low quality article. Please delete.

You can't make your own conclusions from those graphs?

I'm pretty sure the Empire will strike back.

HAHA Clint. What is it with people thinking they're the de facto editors of these news feeds.

Hold on a minute: with the ultrathin (Congo), the clock speed of the test processor is 1.6Ghz dualcore, whereas the Intel is 1.2Ghz. Big difference. And productivity (a.k.a. speed?) with the AMD ultrathin looks like a load of tosh due to that.
