All I have seen first hand are the Bloomfields. I don't have any hard data on the others.Quote:

I am getting famous on AMDZone ... I actually like their compliments :)
lovely gentleman ...
Wait to see Nehalem properly programmed, leaked CPUs are not "ready".
who?
Your utube link was to a boxing match..:DQuote:

The Kentsfields surpassed expectations, and so did the Yorkfields.
I just got a harpertown rig up and running and no complaints from me on what it is doing at stock voltages at all.:up:

How's the DP Nehalem doing? Word has it that it's been delayed until 2009?
Better than nothin :rofl:Quote:

wow running fast, looking good JC
It's quite alright. Those gentleman are rather...dilusional.Quote:

its amdzone... what did you expect, its the hardest core of amd fanboys. :p:Quote:

I went and looked at the original Conroe first benchmarks on Techreport.. And man, the comments were filled with that exact kind of nonsense you see in that thread. The rigs were locked for viewing, so they were probably really running DP Opterons in there. :shrug::ROTF:Quote:

It's like AMD processors come with free tin foil hats in the package. It almost makes me ashamed to own AMDs. :mad:Quote:
Also I am not buying that Anand just walked up and grabbed two to benchmark, this for me is an obvious Intel ploy and Anand is being used a a tool (willingly). If Intel didn't sanction this, then Intels lawyers would be on Anand so fast it would be laughable.
I really, really wanted to quote some AMD guys because they are so hilarious, but unfortunately they deliver in every thread. I could not decide which one to quote. Really, thank you for the laughs.
Movieman give him those damn motherboards already, before he actually decides to go with the necklace-idea. :yepp:
Though, they are right to some extent when it comes to single-threaded performance, we do not really know much about nehalem's performance, so it'd be nice if you could run more single-threaded benches...
Do not worry about single threaded performance, it is better than Penryn... I can t say more yet ... but 8M L3 with the best prefetcher ever, this rocks.
since we are here, let s give you some new vocabulary...
We call:
L3 is LLC (Last Level Cache)
L2 is MLC (Middle Level Cache)
L1 is FLC (first Level Cache)
Get use to those terminologies, they will be soon everywhere.
I ll add more over time.
who?
Is it like Phenom, does each core have its own multiplier that we can change?

or think about the 1st Pentium 4 Extreme Edition ... it was already using this names internally. Now that it is going main stream, we will push for it externally.
if you listen to AMD, they invented the wheel ... did they?
1st x86 processor with Memory controler on dice: 386SX .... hummmm hummmm
We are not going to have the issues that Phenom has with its fixed ratios ... (They invented fixed ratio???? )
It was designed to scale from Laptop to server, in every dimension , cache size, number of cores, memory type, so, i let you guess why there are no issue ...
remember, I can't speak much yet.
but everything you need will be there :up:
Just kidding, ok?
who?
I didn't mean 'is it like Phenom' as in 'will it be disappointing and slow', I was just referring specifically to the feature where Phenom owners can go and change each core's individual multiplier and run them at different frequencies. Maybe I'm a sucker for gadgets but I think that's pretty cool. ;)Quote:
