Marketing as a "gangster" is wrong on too many levels.
It takes AMD just shy of two minutes to render a "one minute" clip?? Check the resolution it clearly shows 320x240 yet is says "HDTV"
-
2 minutes for 1080p video :)... with all four cores loaded. Less than 3Ghz too.

Not good at all.
I guess the competition methodes used by their "best friend" for many years, has hardened them to a level where their senses have been severely screwed.

Thanks for the coverage, I was about edit.
It says the project is 320x240 and said "one minute clip for AMD", I was just pointing out the obvious.
The Peregrine demo is at 25FPS from the numbers at the top.
At least AMD has finally shown some progress instead of more slides.

I went today and my experience was horrible. First of all as soon as I get in, I lose my friends. I only got to play one game which was Splinter Cell Double Agent. Then I was about to play on the new Vodoo PC with the Core 2 Quad and my turn was up; but I turn my back for one second and already a little arse-hole four year old and his father was on the Vodoo. I was angry:mad: . Then I tried to play on one of the many over twenty Alienware PCs, and they were all taken up by like 8-years olds. I was too late to join up on any of the video game tournaments, and I got no free stuff.
I finally got in touch with one of my friends, and we went to the McDonalds nearby and I ordered myself the new Chicken Wrap Extra Value Meal, large. Yep best part of the day.

glad amd adopted the name Quad father, hope it will be a success.

i think AMD wanted to use Darth Vader, but George Lucas would most likey sue them. so they had to use something else. Gangster image was the next best thing. God father was highly popular and succesful movie, which many people can associate with.

I think its awesome! I cant wait to buy one!

ummm... since when did our society become moral all of a sudden? they called it quad father, were they supposed to use the father from pleasantville? its just a catchy name, sounds like godfather. are we supposed to censor everything thats not utopian? no more killer apps. now its extremely advantageous piece of software.
-
Kentsfield and QuadFather will be good platforms for a long time :)
-
I will never call it QuadFather. God help that they lose that name and call it somthing else, it sounds like ass.
-
I think "Core 2 Duo" is the one of the most stupid names I've ever seen. Does it matter? Of course not, it's all about the performance.
-
Where exactly does it say 4x4 would be called "Quadfather"?
Sure, there are those wall posters etc. titled "Quadfather", but everywhere the platform is referred just as "4x4".
AMD slogan of the year:
"Quadfather"
Intel slogan of the decade:
"Leap Ahead"

Ganster? Where?
Even after viewing all the pics, all I see is a poster titled "Quadfather" featuring a rough green shape of a man smoking a cigar.
No gansters.
But alas, human mind is very good at associating things...
;)
-
The Godfather was a movie about mafia ganstas and thats very close to the QuadFather
-
Errr...
Godfather is a book by Mario Putzo...
...of which Coppola directed the trilogy.
Yes, Quadfather is close to Godfather. But it's not AMD's fault if people mix things. :D

Look at the posters (from the event) above, how could any confuse that with gangters.
Gangsters are so cool for crimes and murdering people? This is good marketing to kids?

You're really taking this very seriously, right?
I'm sure AMD doesn't mean to glorify gangsters, they just tried to come up with a 'cool' name for their upcoming cpu... some of us apparently don't like it... but some do... *raises hand*
