A Futurelooks News Flash - AMD Platform Showdown - Spider vs. Dragon vs. Dragon Reloaded

Hello Again,

 

Futurelooks settles a little sibling rivalry...

 

AMD Platform Showdown - Spider vs. Dragon vs. Dragon Reloaded

 

Lessons were learned and AMD has since set its sights on the

performance desktop computing market with its latest platforms. Spider

was their first platform launched back in late 2007. However, early

benchmarks already doomed it to not really being a threat to Intel in

terms of performance. Thus the hoopla was downplayed and the Spider

entered the room quietly without anyone knowing it was there. Of course

plenty of people tried to step on it because it was supposed to be the

mythical Core Duo Killer. So the marketing message for Spider ended up

being “Performance per watt”. That’s OK if you’re a lightbulb but not

when you’re building a top end gaming system or workstation.
