I work for Advanced Technologies, we are also a military and government contractor.
There is no need to have a pissing contest over THG's blunders.
I already got my reply from Intel and they are correcting the problem. I asked that they provide the reviewers with the correct hardware. I went directly to the thermal group and spoke with the lead engineer.
"Yes, we have noticed that some reviewers run their tests in open chassis. Sometimes it’s hard to get people to change their habits, but we keep trying."
"I’m not sure what the deal is with the two heatsinks Tom’s is talking about. I’ll check with the team that sent out the systems and see what they have to say."
Pulling some string to get things done.

It is a superior product when selling to big business and is accepted into military, government and educational sales. This is where AMD is rejected the most.
People who demand higher quality machines buy Intel
Professionals who need un comprimised stability buy Intel.
SEATTLE, WA -- 04/04/2005 -- Global supercomputing leader Cray Inc. (NasdaqNM:CRAY - News) today announced that it is teaming with government IT leader GTSI Corp. (NasdaqNM:GTSI - News) to offer the Cray XD1(TM) Opteron/Linux-based supercomputer to government agencies looking for powerful yet cost-effective supercomputing solutions. As a member of the recently launched Cray Channel Partner Program, GTSI will market the Cray XD1 system to a diverse customer base needing exceptional performance and scalability.
...
The Cray XD1 supercomputer has been adopted by a number of government organizations worldwide, including the Desert Research Institute in Reno and Las Vegas, Nevada; the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in Manassas, Virginia; the U.S. Air Force Maui High Performance Computing Center on Maui, Hawaii; the Ohio Supercomputing Center in Columbus, Ohio; the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington; the Alabama Supercomputing Authority in Montgomery, Alabama; and the USDA Forest Service Fire Sciences Laboratory in Missoula, Montana.

A new supercomputing cluster designed for the phylogenetic research community has been installed at the San Diego Supercomputer Center. The Cluster, a 16 node, 8-way Fusion A8 by Western Scientific, features a total of 128 Opteron processors each with 4 GB memory, for a total of 0.5 TB memory. The cluster was purchased with a grant from the National Science Foundation in support of the CyberInfrastructure for Phylogenetic Research project, a collaboration of biologists, computer scientists, statisticians and mathematicians at 19 institutions whose goal is to understand the evolutionary relationships between all living organisms.

At Siggraph today, AMD (NYSE: AMD) announced that AMD Opteron™ processor-based servers and workstations are providing the digital backbone for the final Star Wars prequel, Episode III: “Revenge of the Sith.” The AMD64 digital processing pipeline at JAK Films, the production company for Star Wars: Episode III, includes pre-visualization and pre-postproduction, which involves 3-D match moving, 3-D modeling, lighting, shading, texturing, compositing and rendering techniques. The AMD64 processor-based workstation systems are running Microsoft® Windows® XP Pro, Alias’ Maya and Adobe® After Effects software. AMD64 processor-based file server systems are running on clustered Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003 software.
The full adoption of 64-bit capable AMD Opteron processor-based systems at JAK Films is the result of a long-standing relationship between AMD and the pioneering Pre-Visualization department at JAK Films. The relationship began during the making of Star Wars: Episode II and provided AMD with direct feedback from the world’s foremost digital content creators. JAK Films is now using AMD64 technology to reinvent the digital filmmaking process.
ok moooore..

AMD and DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. announced a three-year strategic alliance naming AMD the Preferred Processor Provider for DreamWorks Animation and enabling the company to experience significant advantages in their computer-generated ("CG") filmmaking process.
As the Preferred Processor Provider for DreamWorks Animation, AMD will provide the AMD Opteron(TM) processor with Direct Connect Architecture for DreamWorks Animation's next-generation enterprise servers, workstations, render farm nodes, enterprise desktops and enterprise laptops. The new agreement with DreamWorks Animation also includes marketing opportunities for AMD to utilize characters from DreamWorks Animation motion pictures as well as work with DreamWorks Animation to promote upcoming film and home video releases.
Enough.

I have a recent addition to add to the thread.
Dont make me link up OPB's blow out.
Ya pete. Fugger's role probably demands he pimp intel. Been there done that myself. First of all even when something does go wrong you can always say "i used the best parts" because thats the common perception. Also ther's value added perception. Quite easy to charge 100-300% markups to corporate clients when using intel. Not so with AMD a "knock off" or "budget" product if you can even sell it, and that's a monumental task in and of itself, people will not go in for premium markups.
AMD is really fairly new. sure they've been around since Intel, but mainly as an embedded chip maker, and only with athlon got really competitive on the desktop and only with opterons on the business end... Look, it's going to take time to change peoples perception 4-5 years ain't going to do it. Hell, there's still lots of IT guys out there who will use nothing but horribly over-priced SUN and IBM servers/chips dispite even intels superior price/performance curves let alone AMD. Old habits die hard.
lol, these are over clockers, who in the hell, that uses their comp normally, and doesnt over clock, would put that much voltage into the cpu, or mod their mother boards, or mess with memory timings and voltages !?!?!?
stock voltages no mods just regular hard ware, apparently by the charts from north, amd is better
Trance my most recent FX 55 died at stock like others in that thread.
fugger you have a fx55 nice :D
but didnt you have it under phase?Quote:

I recall several threads at anandtech, bleeding edge and OC forums about sudden deaths P4C's. Nothing is perfect.

If that's what you mean by AMD's failing. Pleaase use Intel. AMD can't afford you guys trashing thier strapped budget for RMAs. Intels got 30 billion, with a B, in the bank. Go tear it up. :D
Tum ta tum ta tum ta tum...Its that time of week again :)
When traces of flame baiting show up and the mods have to close the thread. So lets keep it on topic (THG's stress test) and not start to bash either chip manufacturers which is how this mess started in the first place.
Have a good one.

I hate the fact that Intel system does'nt have case temp visible.
Intel CPU fan has been slowing slowly for hours but temps are not rising..
Maybe it's throttling or something ?
http://www.tomshardware.com/stresstest/intel.html
:horse:True.
Back to toms HW sucks. :party: :explode2:
Can someone explain to me the point of showing power for both systems together:wth:

Hey it looks like something wrong with the AMD box finally. Network is down for last two hours.
http://www.tomshardware.com/stresstest/amd.html
Yup AMD networks down.. Intels gaining while AMD scores are frozen.
I was wondering just why AMD scores are not increasing..Quote:

And what the hell those white boxes are ??

The amd deaths weren't limited to FX. They affected all athlons and the problem vanished before Newcastle was released. Also, we did figure out the problem. 95% of cases involved 3.2vdimm+. The other 5% were problem a mixture of people who shorted something at a bad time and didn't realize it, ran the damn thing to hot and didn't know/care, or just got one of those rare doomed chips that will die with no cause and are the reason Warranty's exist. Just too bad they also happened to be overclockers/modders who voided their warranty's. Also, the problem was very close to exclusive to shuttle's AN50R.
Edit: Though I'd just LOVE for you to make another thread explaining exactly what you refer to by "higher quality machines".
I used to hang around an investment board, then the owner started getting paid $10,000 a week to flood his board with BS about P&D's. Everyone who was worth anything to the board left shortly after.

The edge, we can theoretically see, is 12 billion light years away.
Some drunk in toms "lab" prolly fell over the network cable and disconneted it.
Yes, those white boxes on screen in both systems, i wonder what those are.Quote:
