AMD Zambezi news, info, fans !

[undone]

Have you seen Radeon 6870/69xx launch slides?

I've forgot them.

BTW it seems, that you have something in common with those guys who satirized AMD running a platform with slides instead of a CPU.

Well you need to refresh your memory. Zambezi is launching soon.
And no,I don't have anything in common with those guys. I'm just being a realist now,not an optimist who based his expectations on power point bullets.

I found a few posts by JF which you might find interesting, I think he was commenting the sandra benchmarks:








These are from [H] and were posted in august, but there are quite a few hints there.

I think everyone should relax, there are so many fake benchmarks flying around no one can tell which one (if any) is true.

We do however know that IPC increases and clock is increased shouldn't that result in better performance?

Actually those sisoft numbers are quite good in SIMD department and not THAT bad in integer part,IF Turbo was off. If Turbo was on,then integer is abysmal (compared to Family 10h) and SIMD is still good. All this on "unoptimized" platform.And all this if the test is even real.

No I needn't. Empiricism means nothing to me, history was history.

There's a word that better than realist and optimist - neutral, and you could post less. And I will post less, everybody should post less.

These days I'd love to silent myself but often couldn't bear some weird comments flying around my ears and eyes. I'm tired.
