It would take more time to record a video than to just load the game and play. This is fraud. I will NOT be buying an ultrabook from this first gen batch, thanks to this.

Enhance.

Enhance!

ENHANCE!

I hope it has become clear to you why this is not a big deal. You can attribute it to Intel fanboys, but in reality it's no longer logical to be a fan of AMD desktop CPUs. There are no more Intel fanboys. There are blind AMD fanboys, and then there's everybody else who buys Intel processors.

no offense intended, .... but this!!

numbers are numbers and intel cranks out WAAAAAYYY higher numbers, its pretty much petty bickering at this point. and until amd makes some amazing breakthrough in the way they do things ill be running all intel....

"AMD fanboy's"? I guess you guys have more money then sense. I mean, if you want to toss together a gaming rig on the cheap and still be able to upgrade it decently cheap... well screw logical reasoning, just look at the market shares. I guess your MUCH smarter than all those "fanboys". =P

Seriously... what games are you playing that require hardware that cost that much money? I play new games and all at high settings on a rig around 650$ for the box... why ... what... how much did you spend? Just not worth it if you have other hobbies... See! a good reason that doesn't require fanboy-ism!

(i like to spend money on other things then gaming rigs... like the GF)

I feel bad for you

You can take that one of two ways, or both!

Awkwardness? It's flat out lying.

And this "1366x768 with what appears to be medium/lowish settings", well wow tough test.

Leave it to Intel to lie through their teeth and misrepresent everything. Scum company.

AMD being better for your money died with Sandy Bridge. The only time a Phenom II or FX build will beat an equivalently priced Sandy Bridge one is with the lower end PII X4 chips like the 955 BE which win in very multithreaded apps against the dual core + hyperthreading i3-2100/2120. But as for gaming, the i3 wins by a noticeable margin, so perhaps gaming wasn't the best example for you to use as an argument.

Well I don't think Intel will care much for the loss of your business. I hope you enjoy your inferior Phenom II or FX based computer.

Or Intel could just go with the logical option and "Hi-jack" the video/audio signal and record that directly instead of using Fraps or any other recording program.
