Official Desktop Penryn Discussion Thread

[Donnie27]

Zytek_Fan ,never mind Donnie,he does it all the time,nothing new there.Although you made a good proposition about continuing the serious discussion about Penryn,we can't have that since now the main theme is not the Penryn but it sure is Hans,Kyle and others,who no doubt about it, are all amd paid pumpers(sarcasm) and they all work against intel in some grand scheme(sarcasm).
And we have some new MPU design geniuses here(Shintai) who are ready to give some lessons to poor Hans about modern x86 processors.

Yes, you are so full of it. Nothing's stopping you from your Penryn comments either. Sure, we know it will be something negative. Again, folks in Kyle's own forums disagreed with him big time. Many were banned as well. His comments like;

But, if you look at the amount of difference between the AMD and Intel CPUs, you will see that it isn’t enough to amount to anything. The only game that we saw any real-world difference in was Oblivion, and even that was tiny. A little overclocking would clear that difference up. Overall, the performance difference isn’t enough to amount to any gameplay experience differences in these games.

LOL, a "little overclocking" is all you can get with the AMD processor used for this review. Overclock the very overclockable C2D if you like and then the blowout gets worse. Just like a bunch of misinformed folks here. You can set up Games to bottleneck the Video card and Handicap Penryn the same way. Funny Kyle didn't do this when A64 ruled the roost.

Penryn doesn't hit the market in a Void. If folks cheated for AthlonFX when Conroe clearly kicked the crap out of, if Phenom and Penryn are neck and neck, most folks already know what most Webmasters getting paid more money by AMD will say. NO, not OFF topic and very frickin' relevant.

wow what a bunch of dorks

[Donnie27]

Again Intel PR FTW!

You know, some AMD PR besides spec rate might not be so bad Aren't tired of the AMD says yada, yada, blah, blah, and etc........... news?

Movieman scares me

he would have no qualms about throwing your ass in a cage and throwing peanut shells at you, as you howl in a demented rage

you'll come to like Movieman, esp after you Run WCG and you'll see why he is a good man

Was just some light ribbing heh Have always found his posts to be well-reasoned, insightful, educational, offensive in any way. Overall seems like a cool guy, same with most of the long time members here.

I also know anyone not autistic knows that if you go out of your way to push the wrong buttons, don't expect to get room service

*looks up what the heck WCG is*

I think you meant "inoffensive"
Loved the "room service" line..VERY good!
WCG= World community grid..Medical research.
We make our machines work in the hope that we can help eliminate some very nasty diseases such as aids and right now they also are doing work similar to what F@H does..Protein folding..Find out why some go wrong and screw you up..
How's that for a plain description?
Also some of the smartest, experienced people you will find and all have one thing in common..We want to help..No ego crap and we work as friends..

Picks self up from the floor from laughing for hard.

The pricing of the upcoming Xeon E54XX processors will look as follows:

Xeon X5460 (3.16 GHz) - $1172;
Xeon E5450 (3.00 GHz) - $851;
Xeon E5440 (2.83 GHz) - $690;
Xeon E5430 (2.66 GHz) - $455;
Xeon E5420 (2.50 GHz) - $316;
Xeon E5410 (2.33 GHz) - $256;
Xeon E5405 (2.16 GHz) - $209.

If we compare these prices with the recently reported pricing of the upcoming AMD Barcelona processors, we can see that AMD estimates the IPC of their upcoming solutions much more optimistically. The direct competitor to the upcoming Opteron 2350 with 1.9GHz clock speed will be the new Xeon E5420 working at 2.5GHz, and Xeon X5460 working at 3.16GHz will compete with Opteron 2358 running at 2.4GHz speed.

Please, somebody explain to me why someone say something that Dumb and still be respected? The estimates presented as facts based on what? 3.16 compared to a 2.4GHz Barkie? What, did they take AMD's word for it?

So, Xeon X5460 (3.16 GHz) will cost $1172 and 2,4GHz Barkie will have similar price. Same goes for the Opteron 2350 with 1.9GHz going for a Xeon E5420 (2.50 GHz) like price $316. Sorry, I don't have that much trust in AMD.

Just compare prices today on Opterons vs Xeons. Huuuge performance delta in the same pricerange.

Yup, kind of sucks uh?

Sorry AMD, but Xeon Harpertown > Opteron Barcelona at this moment.
