The NTSM undergraduate program provides students with an understanding of the fundamental concepts of scientific method, laboratory techniques, the ability to use scientific literature, and sensitivity to the interrelationship between science and human values.
A few years ago, Dominican University of California launched an ambitious campaign to expand its science program. While the sciences are essential to the liberal arts education Dominican offers all students, the University wanted to add more opportunities for students pursuing careers in science and medicine.
For these undergraduates, the opportunity to take part in scientific research and gain professional credentials could help determine their choice of career, which advanced degree to pursue, and even where they gain admission for graduate study.
Dominican University provided me with every opportunity to help conquer my ambitions. The unique mentoring inside and outside of the classroom is unmatched; I always had a strong support system during my undergraduate studies. This allowed me to gain all the foundations necessary to become a competitive medical school applicant. I loved every moment of my DU experience!

Your Friday Morning Pre-Party: Tegan & Sarah, Tori Amos, and Tool
Arrg. My head! It's like an ice pick behind my eyes! Did I really drink Jack Daniels for dinner last night at our Holiday Party? Yes, yes I did. So much Jack that our tasty sponsor ran out of his signature hooch. Every Holiday Party ends like this. But at least I didn't punch a supervisor or turkey slap a waitress. This Pre-Party is going to be late and short, on account of this berzerker party season in full swing. I'm your naked, cold, unbalanaced host, Web Editor David Downs.
As usual, we begin the Pre-Party with some cool new tunes and a funny quick video. The tunes come from Oakland soul legend Darondo, off of the Ubiquity label, who'll be in our print edition next week. Prepare for the fucking dopeness.
Now the video — A local hipster spoof of the track bike phenomenon -- Fixed Push Skateboarding. "Just get pushing, bro."
That was way better than you people deserve. Now, for the look back at the week:
--LastNight: Tegan & Sara made us show them our asses. Dirty birds.
--Matt Smith busted an Examiner blogger plagiarizing
--And Matt Smith busted some Armenian scammers for betting on old people dying.
--Lastly, noted music non-critic Margaret Cho shared her favorite albums of 2007.
Upcoming this week, SF Weekly brings back pictures and reportage from:
Tori Amos at Paramount tonight
Bizarre Bazaar this weekend
Andrew Bird this weekend
Prefuse 73 this weekend
and Tool next week
Plus we're running a lewd X-Mas Gift Guide Wednesday called the "12 Dildos of Christmas". So you got that going for you, which is nice.
And lastly, we raise a middle finger to all the commenters worldwide that made our Kings of Commenting so entertaining. I wish all the fiber-optic line in SF was emo, so it could cut itself. Then we'd be done with this shit once and for all.
David Downs
Your Friday morning pre-party kicks off every Friday morning around 8 a.m. (unless we're vomiting that early). Send us your pics, videos, mp3s, events, and links if you want to be part of the party. If not, that's your bad.)

Search warrants served at 20 homes across Elk Grove and Sacramento County led to the arrests of 19 people after law enforcement found thousands of marijuana plants at the residences Wednesday.
Elk Grove Police Officer Chris Trim said the department's street crimes unit has been investigating suspects for the past several months. He said they are responsible for a large scale indoor pot grow and cultivation operation.
During the search of the homes, law enforcement found about 6,000 marijuana plants, more than 180 pounds of processed marijuana and more than $70,000 in cash.
"It ranks up there with some of the larger ones we had several years ago that ended up going federal, as far as the DEA involvement," Trim said.
Trim said nine children, between the ages of one and 15, were living at some of the homes that were converted into marijuana grows; they were taken into custody by Child Protective Services because they were being raised in a hazardous environment.
Elk Grove police worked with Sacramento County Sheriff's Department, Yolo Narcotics Enforcement Task Force, Yuba-Sutter Narcotic Enforcement Team and Department of Justice during the investigation, home searches and arrests.
The following people were arrested and booked into Sacramento County Jail for growing marijuana and possessing marijuana with the intent to sell:
On Wednesday night, residents on Mystras Circle in Elk Grove still can't believe what happened on their street.
"When I look out the window this morning and saw police officers out front, I just thought, 'Oh my gosh. What the heck?'" Elk Grove resident Judy Cornick said.
As for her neighbor's arrest and the suspected pot grow house Cornick said, "I'm not surprised because it always happens. Just surprised that I never noticed anything going on."
"We didn't know anything about it," next-door neighbor Thanh Vo said.
"The house was in foreclosure. And so they bought it very cheap," Cornick said. "Whether someone came in buying these homes very cheap and then turning them into grow houses."
Just a street over on Tegea Way, another home was searched and another arrest made. Less than a mile away on Madeira Court in Elk Grove, families are just surprised by another house suspected of being part of the pot growing ring. In this case, neighbors said the family had small children.
"I'm really shocked actually because all of our kids, they play together," neighbor Tina Nguyen said.
"It's a family of five with three small boys," Elk Grove resident Neil Hutchison said. "Very quiet family. Never heard any comings or goings that were suspicious."
He's surprised that his neighbors are suspected in the pot house ring. But, not surprised that it's happening in Elk Grove.
"Seems part for the course for Elk Grove," Hutchison said. "We watch it on the news every six months."

I'm jealous (in a good way, of course!) - Jeremia Weed / ZZ Top Commercial
I am a die-hard fan of ZZ Top. I am a lead guitarist and play much of the ZZ Top repertoire...note for note, wherever possible (i.e., when I can figure out how the master made his axe sing the way he does). My dream would be to meet Billy, Dusty and Frank...but especially Billy.
When I saw the Jeremia Weed commercial, I have to admit, along with being completely amused by the gag, I was more jealous than you could imagine. Those lucky people who came across ZZ Top in the Jeremia Weed cooler...what a wonderful surprise.
Keep doing what you do guys...Montreal loves you!
P.S. You are welcome in my beer cooler any day!

Best Sushi in Austin – Every time I go I'm thrilled, I try to eat there once a week. Usually in the afternoon for lunch when it's still quite and i have the place to myself. It's by far the best sushi I've ever had, they are really good at harmonizing flavors, everything comes out perfect, every time. Try the sushi bomb and the volcano roll with the cold cucumber sake, it's SOOO good! I've had EVERYTHING this place makes at least once, Now I'm working on trying everything once more :)
Every person I've ever taken has agreed and also loved it!
Great Sushi – I have never had a disappointing experience at Tomo. Every roll or sushi I have tried has been wonderful with interesting combination of flavors & ingredients. The service has always been good and the staff attentive. Tomo is one of the two sushi spots in Austin that I know I can depend on to be fresh and fantastic EVERY time I go.
Great place – The sake is awsome.
Favorite restaurant in town – I moved to Austin from the Bay Area last year with my girlfriend and spent the first 6 months or so looking for the best Sushi restaurant we could find. After going to Tomo for the first time our search was over. Hard as it was for us to admit, it probably surpasses our favorite sushi place from the Bay Area. They have unique and different rolls (our favoites being the 007 and the Volcano). While other reviewers have mentioned the sushi chefs being drunk, they have a good time, have never been rude to us, and make a damn good roll. We usually sit at the bar because we enjoy the chefs and Steve the owner.
It is a small place and is generally quite packed for this reason I think the owner and the other chefs can enjoy themselves and have a good time knowing that the business is a success and will continue to be. They aren't a new restaurant that feels the need to put on an act to impress those who think all staff members should be stuffy.
If you are one of these people who think that because you are required to act "professional" at your job that everybody should be as miserable as you are then this might not be the place for you. However, if you like great Sushi and don't mind the staff enjoying themselves at the same time then I highly recommend Tomo's.
Inmates running the asylum – All of the rolls tasted the same to me, and they were prepared by a staff of clowns, led by an obnoxious sushi chef suffering from one of the worst cases of Napoleon complex I've had to endure. He was boastiing about his prowess with the ladies, taking multiple shots of beer or sake, and had the knfe skills of a uncoordinated lefthanded toddler using righthanded safety scissors Some of my nigiri looked like it was hand torn from larger piece and plopped on to a misshapen mound of rice. Getting drunk during food service to paying customers is wrong on so many levels, and I'm shocked this place actually seems to encourage such behavior. I'm neither a stick in the mud; nor am I uptight. I simply expect a chef to put their best foot forward every day, and this is simply impossible when you're drinking. The results were born out in the food and overall experience. This place is a joke.
Wonderful experience; always back for more! – Tomo is a place I come back to for sushi every time I'm in town. My folks introduced me to the place when I was in high school. I've since graduated and moved to Missouri for college, but EVERY time I'm back in town, I make sure to stop at Tomo.
The chefs and staff are personable, the restaurant is tastefully posh, without being pretentious.
The sushi is divine. I almost starve myself during the day when I know I'm going to Tomo for dinner! It's that amazing. Service is prompt, for a full house. Tomo is ALWAYS packed for weekend dinners (something that testifies to it's greatness), so you may have to wait a little for your rolls. Unless you're on an awkward first date, this shouldn't be an issue.
It is a small restaurant, so you may want to call ahead to see how long you'll have to wait. But trust me: Tomo sushi is worth waiting for!
best sushi in austin – Reviewers calling Tomo average or bad sushi either got very unlucky on their visit or do not know sushi. This is the best sushi in town because the fish and vegetables are good quality and extremely fresh, the rolls are well planned in terms of balance in taste and texture, and the nori is superbly prepared. I'm talking your teeth slice right through, never chewy.
My favorite original roll is the ridiculously named Angry Beaver. The jalapeno in the middle is always crunchy.
The chefs are jovial, and sometimes I do get the impression that they drink too much for people who are preparing complicated meals. I find that unprofessional, but they've never been rude to me. The wait staff is always pleasant and prompt.
The wait can be long because the restaurant is simply too small for the crowd it attracts. It has begun to attract pretty, hip people who seem to be there to be seen, but there are real sushi lovers there too.
Awesome sushi – The entrees are unique, fish is so fresh as if it was delivered the same day.
hiya – its great

I bought the flatware set as a Christmas gift for my Mom, who recently redecorated her kitchen. She wanted red flatware but I had a difficult time finding anything at the stores. I searched online and found cooking.com. The flatware set I ordered arrived in time for the holiday and was beautifully wrapped. My Mom was thrilled with the color, as it matched perfectly with the kitchen aid teakettle I also ordered. The flatware has a nice feel to it and didn't look flimsy or cheap. I've been disappointed with certain products I've bought online, but that certainly was not the case here. I will definitely order from cooking.com in the future.
Thank you.I recommend this product.
Not great, but a good value for the price
You should not expect excellent quality from flatware that is so inexpensive, but the quality was still a bit lower than what I was expecting. If you want some inexpensive flatware, I would recommend this set, but otherwise I would not. I only purchased it because the last set of flatware I purchased was horribly stained within days, possibly due to the hard water we had, and I did not want to take the chance of ruining another expensive set. This set has not had the same problem, but that might be because we have soft water now.
The main problem with the flatware is that the plastic and metal parts of the handle are not always lined up properly, so you can feel the edge where one of the surfaces extends past the others when you hold it. I strongly recommend getting a flatware set that is either completely metal or has plastic handles that completely surround the metal. I recommend this even if it is an expensive and/or high quality set. Also, the fewer joints, the better because there are fewer possibilities for problems with how it is put together and it is less likely to break, all other things being equal. In addition, a smooth surface does not trap dirt like a joint does and it is easier to clean.
This flatware is great!
I'm so pleased with my purchase of this flatware. It's well made, and the feel and weight of the pieces in your hand is most satisfactory. It does very well in the dishwasher. And best of all - the red color is perfect. My kitchen and china are all red, black, and white, and I was afraid the color would be an orangey-red that just wouldn't have worked. But the color is a true red and just beautiful. One more thing: the knives are very, very sharp, so you have to watch the way you handle them.I recommend this product.

I've been missing in action recently, a situation which has presented itself before since this blog's inception in August of 2009. This time my absence is due to my new-ish job at Haven's Kitchen, where I work as a teaching assistant and sometimes as a prep cook for catered events there.
It's been hectic mainly because I've been busy learning how to act as a professional cook and not as a home cook. The differences between these two types of cooking are numerous, and I'd like to share with you the top 5 most important things I've learned about working in an industrial kitchen, and how it differs from cooking at home.
1. Salt your food. I mean, really salt your food.
- More salt goes into one dish in a night than I'm used to using in the span of a week- to give you an idea of what I mean, take the amount of salt you think is appropriate for a dish, triple it, add a few more pinches, and then you're just shy of the right amount. I suggest you not eat out anymore if this fact scares you.
2. Time is of utmost importance.
- In my mind, this is the essential difference between a home cook and a professional: at home, you don't want to spend hours making dinner, but you could if you wanted to. At work, taking a long time to complete a task is a sign of inefficiency and inability to work properly. I'm still getting used to this one.
3. Season as you go. Taste everything, every step of the way.
- I hear almost every teacher say it during classes, and I see chefs doing it during service time for events – every dish should be tasted and seasoned from the very beginning to right before being plated. This might seem strange to those who cook at home, but it ultimately makes sense: in order to control the final result, you need to monitor the dish's taste along the way. Salt, salt, salt!

Seismitoad is a rather unique Water-type Pokemon in that it can be played in a variety of different ways. Seismitoad can go on the offensive as a rain sweeper or go on a more defensive route with its good typing and set up Stealth Rock for its team. It is also a good check to several Water-types in the tier by utilizing Water Absorb and Substitute. Seismitoad's typing comes with several benefits: Seismitoad can't be paralyzed by Thunder Wave, so its rain sweep will not be ruined, and while on the defensive, it gives Seismitoad good resistances to some of the most common offensive types, such as Rock and Fire. However, a mediocre movepool and average stats bring Seismitoad down a bit. It doesn't hit super hard with its moves unless they're boosted by Life Orb and rain, while its coverage is limited to Sludge Wave and Grass Knot to hit Water- and Grass-types that resist Seismitoad's Water-type STAB. A lack of reliable recovery also makes it hard for Seismitoad to take repeated hits, while other bulky Water-types such as Alomomola and Slowking give it huge competition due to that reason. All in all, Seismitoad's unique assets in the roles it plays is definitely something to take into consideration.
Seismitoad makes for a solid defensive Pokemon due to its impressive bulk and good typing. Its Water / Ground typing gives it several good resistances and two useful immunities in combination with Water Absorb, allowing Seismitoad to check various threats in the tier such as Kabutops and Entei, while even walling the likes of Magneton and Lanturn. This gives Seismitoad many good opportunities to set up Stealth Rock. Scald is a great STAB for any defensive Water-type, as the high burn chance will greatly improve Seismitoad's survivability. Earth Power does not only provide a great secondary STAB move, allowing Seismitoad to hit Pokemon that resist Scald like Druddigon and Slowking harder, but is also crucial for its ability to deal with Lanturn so well. Toxic rounds out this set by giving Seismitoad a solid option for dealing with defensive threats such as Alomomola and the aforementioned Slowking a lot easier, as Earth Power will never be enough to beat them.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
This is Seismitoad's best bet on the offensive. Seismitoad as a rain sweeper is pretty straightforward, but it has a key difference from other Swift Swimmers. Its Ground typing makes Seismitoad immune to Electric-type moves. Not only does it remove a weakness to the type, but also keeps Seismitoad from being paralyzed by Thunder Wave, something that would otherwise stop any Pokemon from sweeping through a team. Hydro Pump gives Seismitoad much-needed power, as Surf does not cut it. This is the move Seismitoad will most likely use the most in the rain, as it will OHKO nearly everything that doesn't resist it. Earth Power adds a secondary STAB move for Seismitoad to use, and it will dent most things that resist Hydro Pump. Sludge Wave rounds out Seismitoad's coverage, as it allows Seismitoad to hit Grass-types that resist its STAB moves. Sludge Wave will OHKO every Grass-type bar Amoonguss; the chances of Sceptile, Lilligant, and Rotom-C surviving it are really slim. When it comes to Seismitoad's final move, it really depends on how the rest of the team is shaped, although it shouldn't matter much which move you pick. Rain Dance is the slightly more useful choice. Rain Dance allows Seismitoad to keep its sweep going without switching to another Pokemon; however, Grass Knot does allow Seismitoad to hit certain threats, such as Slowking and Poliwrath, slightly harder than with Earth Power.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
This set takes advantage of Water Absorb and Seismitoad's good typing to make it a great check to Water-types, as well as a lure to Grass-types and other Pokemon that would naturally switch in on Seismitoad. Substitute allows Seismitoad to avoid any kind of status that might hinder it, while it also acts as a buffer against attacks that would KO it, giving Seismitoad a chance to potentially KO Pokemon such as Sceptile and Moltres. Setting up a Substitute isn't impossible either, as Seismitoad will cause a lot of switching against Pokemon like Lanturn, Magneton, and Kabutops. Earth Power will be Seismitoad's most useful STAB move, as with it Seismitoad can OHKO Kabutops, Magneton, and Omastar, while dealing a good chunk of damage to Pokemon such as Lanturn. Surf provides a great secondary STAB move for Seismitoad to use against Pokemon that resist Earth Power, and will hit Pokemon like Entei and Steelix a bit harder. Sludge Bomb gives Seismitoad something to hit Grass-types, mostly slower ones such as Tangrowth, but it can also help KO faster ones such as Lilligant and Sceptile if Seismitoad has a Substitute up. A 30% chance to poison the foe is really nice too, as it can make Pokemon like Slowking easier to deal with. However, Toxic is a better option if you want a more reliable way to deal with Pokemon such as Alomomola, Cryogonal, and the aforementioned Slowking. This does, however, make Seismitoad more susceptible to Grass-types.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Seismitoad's other options are rather limited, especially those that it can make good use of. Hidden Power Ice can also work to hit Druddigon and other Dragon-types for super effective damage while still covering Grass-types. However, the power difference between it and Sludge Wave is huge, and Hidden Power Ice doesn't hit Druddigon much harder than Earth Power. Icy Wind can also be used, but it's a better option for the Substitute and defensive sets, as it is more of a supportive move than an offensive one. Hidden Power Fire can help the physically defensive set by hitting Escavalier and Durant for super effective damage. However, fitting it onto Seismitoad can be quite hard, and if you forgo a specific move, a teammate must compensate for the loss of coverage or answers to certain threats. Venoshock can be a solid option if Seismitoad has Toxic Spikes support, as it will become significantly more powerful than Sludge Wave if the opponent is poisoned. However, this can become a huge gamble, and it makes it so that Rotom-C can easily revenge kill Seismitoad unless it has been poisoned by Toxic, as Rotom-C is immune to Toxic Spikes. To compensate for Seismitoad's lack of recovery, Rest and Sleep Talk can be used, but much like Hidden Power Fire, it can be hard fit these two moves onto the set without losing crucial options. Refresh can be easier to fit onto the defensive set, however, as it can remove any unwanted status from Seismitoad, increasing its longevity. Lastly, Seismitoad can go on a physically offensive route as well with its equally high base Attack. Seismitoad has a good variety of moves to choose from, such as Earthquake, Ice Punch, Drain Punch, Bounce, and Rock Slide, but it has no physical Water-type STAB. This makes a physically oriented Swift Swimmer implausible, so its best bet is either a Choice Band or Life Orb set.
Checks and Counters
Slowking is one of the best answers to Seismitoad. Even if Seismitoad uses Grass Knot it will have a hard time taking Slowking down. However, Slowking will have a harder time against the Substitute and defensive sets, as Toxic will quickly wear it down and it will most likely need Toxic itself to beat Seismitoad if Slowking doesn't run Psychic or Psyshock. Most Grass-types will more or less beat Seismitoad. The more offensively inclined Sceptile, Lilligant, and Rotom-C will have no trouble beating the slower sets with their super effective STABs, but will most likely lose to the Swift Swim sweeper. However, if the rain is stopped, all three will outspeed Seismitoad, so waiting out the rain can definitely help. Tangrowth can deal with the defensive version with relative ease, but it will most likely be hit by Toxic before taking Seismitoad down, severely crippling it. Amoonguss is a 100% guaranteed counter to any Seismitoad. Amoonguss's Poison typing makes it immune to Toxic so it can't be stalled out, while it is only hit super effectively by Hidden Power, making it near impossible to take down for Seismitoad. The same applies for Roselia, as it shares the same typing with Amoonguss and has great bulk thanks to Eviolite. Also, Pokemon that use Grass-type moves for coverage, such as Moltres and Manectric with Hidden Power Grass and Galvantula with Giga Drain, will easily OHKO Seismitoad. The only exception is Choice Scarf Manectric's Hidden Power Grass, as it will surprisingly only do 95% damage at most to defensive Seismitoad. Druddigon can be a real problem for Seismitoad, regardless of the set. Offensive Seismitoad can only hope to 2HKO Druddigon with Earth Power, while defensive Seismitoad can only hope for Scald burning Druddigon as it is easily 2HKOed by Outrage. Escavalier and Durant are very similar. They can 2HKO defensive Seismitoad, but they are both OHKOed by Hydro Pump in rain; however, Stealth Rock is needed for Escavalier. Other Pokemon that can use brute force to break through Seismitoad include, but are not limited to, Gallade, Medicham, Hitmonlee, and Bouffalant, if they can avoid being burned by Scald.

Video Perspective: AMD A10-4600M vs Core i7-3720QM on Diablo III
Subject: Graphics Cards, Processors, Mobile | June 1, 2012 - 10:52 AM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: video, trinity, Ivy Bridge, Intel, i7-3720QM, diablo iii, APU, amd, a10-4600m
So, apparently PC gamers are big fans of Diablo III, to the tune of 3.5 million copies sold in the first 24 hours. That means there are a lot of people out there looking for information about the performance they can expect on various harware configurations with Diablo III. Since we happened to have the two newest mobile processors and platforms on-hand, and because many people seemed to assume that "just about anything" would be able to play D3, we decided to put it to the test.
In our previous reviews of the AMD Trinity and Intel Ivy Bridge reference systems, the general consensus was that the CPU portion of the chip was better on Intel's side while the GPU portion was still weighted towards the AMD Trinity APU. Both of these CPUs, the A10-4600M and the Core i7-3720QM, are the highest end mobile solutions from both AMD and Intel.
The specifications weren't identical, but again, for a mobile platform, this was the best we could do. With the AMD system only having 4GB of memory compared to the Ivy Bridge system with 8GB, that is one lone "stand out" spec. The Intel HD 4000 graphics offer a noticeable upgrade from the HD 3000 on the Sandy Bridge platform but AMD's new HD 7660G (based on Cayman) also sees performance increase.
We ran our tests at 1366x768 with "high" image quality settings and ran through a section of the early part of the game a few times with FRAPs to get our performance results. We did also run some tests to an external monitor at 1920x1080 with "low" presets and AA disabled - both are reported in the video below. Enjoy!
Brief , highly informative, and interesting. Thanks.
but, but, AMD is doomed right? *eye roll*
but, but, I can't run superPi as fast ... =(
Most people don't know this, But. SuperPi is a program designed to run on a Intel processors.
AMD's 'Joe Sixpack' and 'Mrs Bigboxer' focus really does seem to be producing systems with more mainstream appeal then Intel's current offerings.
its all about bang for $buck.
I commented on this on the youtube video, but the areas used in the game are not adequate at testing this performance. The following areas should be used. They are not hard to get to:
Leoric's Manor
Nephalem Temple
This test is already biased torwards amd with that test system having a ssd.
reference to MaximumPC.
A10s are bang for the buck.
Sad thing is that it cannot outperform i5 720 or intel duo quad core.
My amd A6-3400m with Radeon HD 6520g outperforms that sandy bridge in D3. You intel fanboys can brag and boast about the extra raw cpu power of the sandybridge but fact is no one cares. The Amd A6, A8, and A10 laptop chips can still do anything and everything that 80% of all PC users need it to do and you will not notice more than a 1-2 second difference. But intel will never be able to compete in the gpu aspect of APU chips because AMD owns ATi and is now showing the world the reason they bought them. Every game AMD a hard time when there stocks dipped after they purchased ATi and spectators said AMD would bottom up. But it has turned out to be the best thing they could have ever done. There is not a need for more CPU power in this day and age. X86 architecture has already passed every expectation anyone could have ever had for it and as more performance is needed we simply add more cores and optimize load distribution with every need cpu and operating system release. Do research people. AMD turbo core is buggy at best now and its not the CPU to blame. It is Windows 7 not being optimized for it. When windows 8 comes out we will see much better multi thread performance out of the AMD chips. Also to the moron that said this review here is bias to AMD because of the solid state drive. You are so ignorant and know nothing about how a computer works. A hard drive will not increase frame rates. Only initial load time. If anything, The HP with the intel chip has the upper hand with 8gb of ram instead of the 4gb offered in the AMD reference laptop.
in the end Intel is doomed if they do not find a way to create a high end GPU or buy Nvidia. This day and age graphics and stream computing is far more important than adding another few mhz to raw cpu power.
I really find your comment very biassed. and dont get me wrong, i admit i have had a more pleasent time with amd processors than intel, however. you are not being fair while saying "The Amd A6, A8, and A10 laptop chips can still do anything and everything that 80% of all PC users need it to do and you will not notice more than a 1-2 second difference.", i personally have an amd A6 in my laptop and i find its perfomance overall slightly superior than an intel i5, and in fact i bought it thinking mainly in gaming, but now that i have been trying and learning how to use different programs, i can notice how the diference in the in cpu matters big time. while in graphic based progarm such as autocad the outstanding gpu its a blessing, in others such as video edition which require more complex rendering intel has the advantage.
currently i need my computer to compute a great deal of very complex phisic equations for my tesis in college, so i was thinking in looking for amd newest processor, but it seems that for this specific purpouse i would do better with an intel. if anyone could tell me a reason why amd would work better please do,
Holy crap! You're more of a nerd than I am!
Well I agree with most of what darknesses says as multicore really isn't utilized that well if at all. And gamers who own quad+ cores don't need the extra cores an i3 is more cost effective. However if u have a pc should just get dedicated graphics... A pentium g620 + 6670 is far better for performance.
I love hearing these people talk about Intel being a better buy even when AMD shows a clear win in a market segment.
The truth is AMD is now going after specific segments and not Intel, this hole intel is better under specific test then AMD is crap as we all know that intel cheats. Real world test are the only way to get an accurate look at what you are really getting.
This banterring about who performs better under different circumstances is just fan boys trying to justify why there system does perform as well.
AMD performs better then Intel in the situation above. I am happy to see that AMD can perform even if they are in specific segments!
It's not exactly biased, but slightly fishy, because the intel processor had more RAM.
So what one would be better for gaming if RAM was the same, and the HD was the same?
The A10-4600M with 2GB AMD Radeon HD 7670M Discrete-Class Graphics
the i7-3720QM with NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M Graphics with 2GB GDDR5 video memory?
a10-4600M laptops do not come equipped with 2gbs, they come with 512mb
I have a pc with i7 3730QM and 660m it plays games very well. 720p gaming. Lenovo y580.
What I meant to say was I have a pc with an i7 3610 and a geforce 660m. Plays good. 720p gaming. Lenovo y580.
its this simple... amd fm series is 2 level cache ...intel i series has l3 layer...and is really a big diff in cpu performance...how ever amd fm series has a built in powerful ati hd series vc..while intel i series has a weak hd series...that means if you compare fm to i in terms of cpu performace amd is dead,,but in gpu intel is dead...the best comparative amd cpu to compare with intel is the phenom in the old days or the fx in the modern age hehehe...if your not building a pc with phenom or fx to kill intel ..then the best solution is intel with ati grapics card...

Champlain Mountain provides a solid base for this Acadia National Park sunrise photo. With lots of interest in the sky (clouds), I chose to level the horizon (important if the ocean is the horizon) about 1/3 of the way into the frame. I also positioned the sun about 1/3 of the way into the frame from both sides.
