Damn you know you are in a rough spot when your company has to put out press releases reminding people that your CEO is NOT resigning... lol.

Yup, it seems to not work in Firefox. Works in IE... :rolleyes: :shakes:

While the peak power consumption is more (thanks to FBDIMMS, when are they getting rid of those?) The actual energy...

Sigh... I'm guessing you didn't read past page 4 on this thread?

There was no cold bug, he was pulling your leg.

Well there we go, that is pretty definitive.

Cheers Charles, great work today!

I dunno, I think it just looks that way because they are winning, for the most part.

Intel is a public corporation. They try to maximize profits for their shareholders and produce the very best...

Back in the day if Pentiums had defective L2 cache, the defective sections would be fused out and it would become a Celeron!

But yeah Poncho is right, this Tri-core business is pure "trying to...

Quad Core Penryn launching November 12th:

Model: E5450
Clock Speed: 3.00 GHz
TDP: 80W
L2 Cache: 12MB
Launch Bin Price: $851


I think you need to adjust your assumptions man. 3Ghz Penryn...

Not really as long as yields are reasonable. The Die size of these chips with 6MB L2 cache on 45nm are smaller than their 4MB 65nm counterparts, so in steady state they will cost less to produce.

While Intel does appear to be holding back the big guns on this roadmap (who can blame them really after the Barcelona "launch"), I wouldn't worry too much, Intel has had an interesting habit of over...

You do realize that Seagate acquired Western digital and that is when WD started offering 5 year warranties?

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AMD (NYSE:AMD - News) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2007(1). AMD reported second quarter 2007 revenue of $1.378 billion, an...

Indeed Q2 '06 was pretty rough for Intel if I remember correctly. They made $866 Million net profit that quarter right?

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Intel Corporation today announced second-quarter revenue of $8.7 billion, operating income of $1.35 billion, net income of $1.3 billion and earnings per share...

DualLink is still one cable, it just uses more or less all of the pins. Just get a DualLink capable cable and pretty much any modern card and you'll be good to go. (Posting this from in front of a...

I woudn't call that a "fact".

Well, it does confirm that someone there isn't particularly good at overclocking! ;)

Anyways, if you look at the overclocking database in this very forum:...

Exactly, even on a non SSE4 workset it is demonstrating %8-9 higher IPC. And on top of that, it will have a sizeable clockspeed advantage due to much better thermals allowing Intel to clock them...

What did Brisbanes have to do with this?

You implied that Intel's claimed TDP of 65W were false (insinuating that they sink more power). Then Shintai provided you with real data, measured at the...

Where did I say that IPC was an independant variable?

Of course the better IPC comes from the actual architectural improvements. Just like higher clock and better thermals come from the die...

Penryn is a die shrink, SSE4, vastly improved Radix divider, shuffle engine, 50% increased L2 cache, better thermals, higher clocks, and ~10% improved IPC over the already dominant Conroe core.

It is a research vehicle, mostly to study the interconnect technology for inter-core communication at >16 cores.

That said, depending on what you put in as cores, it would make an amazingly kick...

That's excellent Vic. Any chance you'll be getting your hands on a B2/B3 Kentsfield soon?

FYI, running AOL 9.0 makes SuperPi_1M mod_1.5 3 seconds faster.

which monitoring tools are you using?

Either way, good INT scores...

Yeah this is one of the few times, I have to say, Anand should pull that article. They fell for some (at best) miscommunicated marketing and (at worst) outright lies from Asus.

It is not accurate.
