CUSTOM PC MAGAZINE- MAY - THEY BE HUMBLE??

Had a quick flick through May's Custom PC and not a sniff of AMD in there.

Also in the three sections of different build levels for PC RIGS AMD still only gets the thumbs up in the BUDGET SECTION?!

Also of note was a curious group test on coolers I would normally want to read...that is until I noticed that they only had Intel coolers and what made me die was that they had them for BOTH INTEL sockets and not a single AMD one?!

But in Micro Mart's inside front page CCL Computers have an advert where they state that there number 1 selling gaming rig is actually based on an AMD FX-4100?!

Custom PC Magazine remind me of an old Woody Allen film I saw as a kid... 'Take the Money and Run!'

LMAO!

They have managed to make themselves look like a bunch of unintelligent fools now and I would imagine they have an issie coming up that will be called Eating Humble Pie?!

I mean the constant omission of AMD CPU made rigs in the MEDIUM, HIGH END AND EXTREME PC Rigs is bad enough but to do a giant test on a load of coolers and not have a single AMD cooler?!

Bad, Custom PC, REALLY BAD!

I mean if I had been going to build a rig and built one on a high end Intel, by buying into the AMD bashing and all the 'EXPERT' opinions on what was WRONG with the hardware and why it was slow, you know the hardware that now whips all but the highest Intel CPU, and that is damned close, in Crysis 3 well there simply is no more excuses.

Everyone that claimed it was down to hardware and the shared FPU have now been proven WRONG.

For every other Intel fanboy that INSISTED that the 8 core was only FOUR CORES...

...damn that FOUR CORE FX-8350 really makes Intel look pretty silly now?!

LMAO!

If the hardware was crap then it was crap, it does not suddenly and magically cure itself, that is WHY it is called hardware.

I am annoyed I nearly bought into all that and would have gone for an Intel for the same time in years. But then I would have taken several journalists to court for falsely claiming they know stuff they do not!

I should have trusted my initial instincts on this one I really should have, lol. Still I am just relieved I did not buy that 8 core Intel CPU...you know the one that is not an 8 core CPU?!

LMAO!

BIASED MAGAZINES CUSTOM PC & MAXIMUM PC

Well I was just reading the comments on an articcle about the GeForce Titan after seeing The Tech Source TV channel.

Only I was not checkng all the numbers when I noticed that the magazine that did the article I was reading got lambasted for being biased towards NVIDIA?!

Then I remebered looking in the last Custom PC Magazine that did an article on building a Gaming RIG for £389, as stated on the cover...

...only when you go to the article when they SUM UP there are in fact TWO machines. The AMD one was built using a APU, CPU and GPU on the same chip but there was another column about building another one using an Intel and NVIDIA which came to £520?!

Now why the hell would you do that and of course in recent Custom PC fashion the £520 Rig gets higher benchmarks.

BUT...

This Intel RIG is £130 MORE EXPENSIVE that the AMD one and that begs the question...

Why did they not then include another dedicated graphics card to the AMD RIG in Crossfire?!

Surely it would have made a better appeal to buying customers, err like ME, that for £500 or a bit over you can have a CROSSFIRE AMD Rig?!

Well I suppose it would put the Intel RIG in the shade?!

I did not read it all and as I always do I put the magazine back on the shelf in disgust...AGAIN. A magazine I normally walked out of the store with in my hands I hardly ever buy and have not done so in a very long time.

I also find it bloody hilarious as well as condemning towards their questionable judgement that they are a magazine that talks about gaming, with PC Gaming always in fear of evaporating away, lambasted AMD for their chips while praising Intel when you cannot see ANY discernable difference much in gaming between the two camps and on top of that, what happens now?

Both Sony and Microsoft now announce that their NEXT GENERATION GAMING CONSOLES will be ALL AMD?!

Uh-HUH?!

LMAO!

Now all thw moaning and whinging that has gone on amomngst gamers and all the wild claims that have been made...well what can I say?!

I laughed until I nearly soiled myself and wondered of all the fanboys, naysayers, biased gaming journalists and OBR Hardware are all now pooling their cash to buy an island in the pacific where they can go and hide from the limelight and the Internet?!

All i can say is if you now spend the rest of 2013 and 2014 being absolutely boiled and roasted by AMD fans...well I am afraid you stuck your heads in the proverbial nooses and how could you expect any different?!

Oh and the hype over Ultrabooks too?! They are crap in all honesty but no they are all 'ooh Ultrabook is the new BUZZWORD!' Yup buzzwaord for CRAP. ANy news of reviews about SLEEKBOOKS?!

Curiously NO!

HAHAHAHAHA!

So an 8 core APU in the AMD CPU code named Jaguar? Oh my god I hope so?!?!

That other PC Magazine and the article os Maximum PC but as I stated it is only what people were commenting on...
