Comment:
in a different forum someone said "ATi chips are clock inefficient" Is this true and if so, how? Can anyone find any links that state this?

I was thinking the same thing. I could not find anything that backs that up. Thank you

I don't even bother getting into debates like that, honestly. Go with what performs the best. Intel is "clock inefficient" currently compared to AMD. If Intel chips performed better and cost the same or less, I'd recommend Intel. Honestly, why does it matter?
