One of you emailled me this ... http://www.amdzone.com/phpbb3/viewto...136390#p136390
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..
As to the comments at AMDZone, do we listen to the whining of nonbeleivers?
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.![]()

I don't think I've ever wanted a 'fast forward' button for real life since I was a kid, but this thing makes me want one again.

"To exist in this vast universe for a speck of time is the great gift of life. Our tiny sliver of time is our gift of life. It is our only life. The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us. Life is the gift each of us has been given. Each life is our own and no one else's. It is precious beyond all counting. It is the greatest value we have. Cherish it for what it truly is."
My favourite is how 45nm K10s are supposed to get 15-20% IPC, while they say Nehalem is basicly nothing. Its a rerun of the barcelona launch and the core 2. I´m amazed they havent claimed the Nehalem systems are stolen shanghais![]()
Crunching for Comrades and the Common good of the People.
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.
I was thinking the same thing. I have a feeling Intel "secretly" set this up.It's like AMD processors come with free tin foil hats in the package. It almost makes me ashamed to own AMDs.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.
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...

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?
well, it is like Itanium ...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)This is the like this for 10 years at Intel
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
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.![]()
now, think about the concequences of allowing the change of frequency under windows ... a "bad" hacker can find it funny to modify the multipliers to 200x ... what happen then ...The best Virus ever?

That is a cool but deadly feature
Just some of my personal thinking ...
who?
nop!
You can t compromise the safety of a platform for the good of the OC community... Make sense, no?
