Intel compares its desktop chips to AMD

CHIP FIRM Intel has provided its customers with a chart comparing its desktop chips against AMD's, using Sysmark 2004SE.

Roadmaps seen by the INQ show eight Intel processors compared against six AMD CPUs, with the competitor's microprocessors using the AM2 socket.

We hastily scribbled some details down on the back of a fag packet in the Porcupine, and the table looks something like this. The numbers at the end of the chip description are Sysmark 2004SE overall scores.
