I didn't change one word, what do you mean by "No"?
You just added the part before what I quoted but somehow you also conveniently ignored the part before that, my complete post was:
This was clearly a reply from me to GaryM regarding my displease towards AMD's lack of progress on power consumption and cost-performance ratio. The first part I mentioned AMD's high power draw, second part I mentioned Intel's much cheaper alternative, and the third part mentioning my displease towards AMD's current progress.
How about you highlight that as my "key point" instead of seeing only what you want to see.
You're just trolling, that "only point" of yours was already answered when I replied Intel's search engine didn't list G550 as having ECC enabled. If that was your only point then the issue would be over right there. But then you kept going with:
This is the 2nd point you made, so which one is your "only point"?
And you know what, the G550 isn't cheaper when you take power consumption into account, even more so if you also take performance into account, and when I pointed that out you started trolling with:
Now this isn't something you would post, if your "only point" was to question why I believed G550 had no ECC, is it.
This is more like an attempt to divert attention from the part where you didn't take power cost into account.
And you're now accusing me of changing the subject, which is bs, as proven above, my conversation was about my displease towards AMD's power consumption and cost-performance ratio, that had always been my focus, I also tried to correct your derail attempt by mentioning G550 having ECC is still pointless and irrelevant because G2020 is still the better alternative, but no, you didn't want to stop there, you had to invent some "2 years vs 3 years" argument just to keep trolling.
Now you have a 3rd point? So which one is the "only point" now? You're now taking the ECC issue way out of context just for the sake of continue trolling.
I never mention G550/G2020 because they were "cheapest Intel processor that supports ECC ram", so why bring it up now? I mentioned G550/G2020 because they have similar performance as the 4170 HE, I actually went through the trouble to double check the G550 numbers on spec.org before posting.
If that was your point, how about post something like "Hey $CPU_NAME is even cheaper and it has ECC", instead of going through all these trouble to put words in people's mouth? That would actually make my point and this pointless discussion would have ended on page 2 where I still had the mood to joke with you about it.
So many words later and you still haven't come up with anything solid against the point that the G2020 does everything the G550 can do, faster, while also matching the performance of the 4170 HE, costing only $60, a cost the $20 cheaper G550 can't match after running for a few years.
G550/G2020 was bought up as an example of AMD not being competitive enough, the ECC was not mentioned as the key point of the post, but as a support of the example. The ECC was compared between G2020 and G550 only because the Intel site didn't list the G550 as having ECC. And G550 having ECC still doesn't change the fact that G2020 is still the better alternative, still doesn't change the fact that AMD is not competitive enough.
You know what, I may have missed the part where G550 supports ECC (and that's because Intel screwed up their search engine and there is a better alternative, the G2020), but you failed to calculate cost beyond comparing price tags. And that is my KEY POINT of this post.
This is not me being passionate, this is me being pissed off at being trolled by someone who doesn't read what's actually being posted and doesn't calculate beyond initial cost.
