How there is only 1 boot in the counter if it's 9th day ?

Also AMD uptime doesn't match, it's too much for 9th day..

Another thing, there is no date visible in that picture.

90 hours, ... taht would be the fourth day ...

and the one boot for intel, tahts thg changing tyheir numbers, it was at 4, then it crashed, and they changed sumthing, and restet the counter, it's really retarded, but none the less that wasthe 4th day

90 hours, ... taht would be the fourth day ...

I mean 9th of June 2005, NOT 9th day of the test..

[ahmad]

welcome to XtremeSystems ahmad

Thank you saaya

[kiwi]

heh, nice test.

Maybe Intel should replace its boxed cooler with a vapo?

Good idea though that probably still won't change AMD as the process of choice

someone should email them and link them to this thread, and saaya's summary thread of this thread... lol

I wonder are THG dummies trying to fry X2 with a wrong cooler ?

I had a pic of X2 boxed cooler here, but i was wrong pic, so Here is X2 4800 boxed cooler


X2 cooler at tomshardware..


I wonder what they are thinking cos they fried several Intel MB's, but AMD keeps on running with a sempron cooler..

ps. this wasn't my find, but i don't remember who it was..
(probably mentioned in this thread).

[trance565]

for sum reason, i wouldnt be surprised, but ... how did they get that camera angle? isnt the camera stationary?

[dippyskoodlez]

XE840 and X2 4800 coolers.

edit: Im not sure if that first pic actually is X2 cooler, but boxed is identical to that and also has those heatpipes.

haha. wow.


makes it look even better.

[Lithan]

Thg has been Pwn'ed.

That picture was taken using other camera, not the live cam.

This image is from the live cam, it's the same cooler.

Its an Ajigo MF043-044A cooler they are using (intended for Opterons).

[Gorgeous]

I am not wrong, the heatsink that THG is using is one of the first designs and was shipped with a lot of retail CPU's

http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/2005...tium_d-06.html

It clearly has no shroud. I have seen every sink design from Intel made since the 486.



This BTX case side is off a Intel reference machine.

http://www.peteredge.orcon.net.nz/casepics.htm

Is this the real Intel reference machine for the btx standard?

[Hans.Gruber]

I had wrong pic so
Here is X2 4800 boxed cooler
As we can see it is quite different from that THG's cooler.

edit: im getting confused with all these..

[LilGator]

So what happened between 4 and 6 ?

AMD:

iNTEL:

[Lithan]

Haha, I actually considered doing that a couple times. Once when we found 92mm fans for like 30cent each, again when we found those 10 for 10 80mm at newegg. But that guy's a moron. You don't need case cooling unless you are overclocking.

Maybe their streaming server crashed after it fried it's motherboard ?

Sixth update.
.
They have added load balance stats, looks like they fooked again..

How the hell they count 35+40% to be 100% for the AMD system

edit:
Looks like cpu usage keeps on jumping for both, but AMD seems to have some issues with THG.
Maybe they don't know that scheduling apps manually don't have desired results ?
Well, what ever, it keeps on jumping up and down randomly..

[Ref]

AMD product is a production system and the Intel systems were still early samples

Intel released dual-core earlier than AMD and Intel's dual core is NOW in saled (AFAIK)...

BTW it is not AMD's fault on how are priorities managed, but Microsoft's, because windows is ...

[Hans.Gruber]

Intel released dual-core earlier than AMD and Intel's dual core is NOW in saled

I read from few sites and magazines that AMD is behind Intel in dual core technology..

Their must have some brown bits between their teeths.

The technology AMD uses is WAY better than what Intel has with Smithfield.

[[G.N.U.]Fragman]

amdX2 will have the throne until Yonah (dualcore dothan) appears at least...too bad the prices aint down to intel ground...

[Borgschulze]

This is pathetic, there has been like 50 new motherboards in that Intel machine.

[Hans.Gruber]

7th update. http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20050603/index.html

They have disabled HT on Intel and it looks like it was helping Intel a lot previously.

This time Intel is behind at 3/4 tests including divx.

We passed pathetic right around page two. Now it's kind of like watching an impotent hunchback trying to rape a chicken.
