And yet, AMD CPG revenues improved in Q1 during this "problem", while Intel's fell.
In fact, it is tilted to AMD, because I read that some Japan agency has requested a period when Intel PC's can not be purchased.
Sure you did.
What a bizarre interpretation.
Intel's Centrino contracts in Japan were illegal, hence the action taken against Intel by the JFTC.
How long do you think it will take before IPF captures 0.2% of the CPU market? Never?
I think it is probably more than 100x right now, Joe. (And certainly, we are currently closer to 100x than 10x.) If not, by the end of Q3, certainly. Don't forget to count all AMD64 systems. (Opteron, iAMD64 Xeon, A64, 6xx P4, etc.)
In 2006, it will probably approach 1000x.
In short, the ML-44 is a 35W TDP A64 4000+ (2.4GHz/1MB L2).
The install base of AMD64-compatible systems is currently on the order of 100x that of IPF systems, and growing rapidly.
Well it certainly is equivalent to a 3.0 GHz Intel processor.
You, too, Tenchie-poo. EOM
Keith stuck in negative territory again. Volume of negative posts reaching a short-term high.
No, Director of IPF Marketing.
Hmm, Digitimes, home of the "AMD will ship 6.5M units in Q1" story.
That's a regurge of a >1 week-old story. IBM has been taking orders for the LS20 for almost 2 weeks now.
As suspected, going to 64b actually DOES provide big speedups in FarCry, in an apples-to-apples test where the graphics card is not the bottleneck.

Up to 46% faster.
Hyperthreading security hole explained:

"Real" revenue exposure is (.36 * .6 ) / (.64 + .36 * .6 ) = 25%.
Presumably, that's why 1xx Opteron is migrating to socket 939: to facilitate cheaper entry-level servers and workstations.
Intel's banker praises Intel?
Galaxy shipping in Summer 05. That's good news.
This clearly means that first, they will offer dual core in their existing 1-4 socket products, making them 2-8 way.
Then, when Galaxy launches with up to 8-socket systems, that becomes up to 16-way.
No end in sight? Perhaps you missed the new HP lineup.
The Ediot proves worthy of his name once again.
Try telling that to the customers.
"See, um, Intel doesn't have any dual core server parts yet, so, uh, it would only be fair if you left half your Opteron sockets unfilled, until some time in 2006. Okay?"
Please.
Feel free to continue to feign confusion over its non-technical usage.
You can always count on Tenchu for a glueless discussion.
Tenchu, the point is that "CPU" has (d)evolved *in general usage* to refer to the chip that plugs into the socket, regardless of the number of cores. The point is NOT that no one uses the term in its original, technical sense-- they do.
But it is just silly for chipguy to feign confusion over the term when it is clear from context.
N.B. Chipguy insists on a pedantic, technical definition of "CPU".
For him, the widely used phrase "dual core CPU" is blasphemy.
Of course, the rest of the world will continue to use the term "core" for "core", and use "CPU", "MPU", "part", or "chip" for the device that plugs into a socket.
MT is the 25W series. ML is the 35W.
Intel doesn't have any dual core server processors, so it won't benefit "the processor market as a whole." :)
That's an impressive increase given the quality settings and resolution. If Anand really wanted to compare CPU code speed properly, he'd run a 640x480 test.
And he'd use single core processors.
And the test may not be apples-to-apples.
He may not have loaded the new "exclusive content", but the 64-bit version has an extended draw-distance, etc.
Yes, Keith, it will take a little while for the new HP AMD desktops to get there:

Hey, science, perhaps you should've read page 4 of your link?

Doh! Designed for 2 Opterons, indeed.
On server setups with available HyperTransport lanes to processors, up to 3 nForce Pro 2050 MCPs can be added alongside a 2200 MCP.
As each MCP makes a HT connection to a processor, a dual or quad processor setup is required for a server to take advantage of 3 2050 MCPs (in addition to the 2200), but in the case where such I/O power is needed, the processing power would be an obvious match. It is possible for a single Opteron to connect to one 2200 and 2 2050 MCPs for slightly less than the maximum I/O, as any available HyperTransport link can be used to connect to one of NVIDIA's MCPs. Certainly, the flexibility now offered by AMD and NVIDIA to third party vendors has been increased multiple orders of magnitude.
So, what does a maximum of 4 MCPs in one system get us? Here's the list:
* 80 PCI Express lanes across 16 physical connections
* 16 SATA 3Gb/s channels
* 4 GbE interfaces
Keep in mind that these features are all part of MCPs connected directly to physical processors with 1GHz HyperTransport connections. Other onboard solutions with massive I/O have provided multiple GbE, SATA, and PCIe lanes through a south bridge, or even the PCI bus. The potential for onboard scalability with zero performance hit is staggering. We wonder if spreading out all of this I/O across multiple HyperTransport connections and processors may even help to increase performance over the traditional AMD I/O topography.
I don't know why you keep making stuff up...
There are no "chipsets designed only for two" in the Opteron world
Exactly. Where does Tenchu get his wacky notions?
Going from significantly behind to slightly ahead in the few places that the P4 had an advantage is tremendous.
And the power consumption comparison is just gravy.
Seeing these reviews, only a complete fool would spend their money on a Smithfield instead of an X2. :)
Athlon 64 X2 annihilates Smithfield:

Video/audio encoding/decoding? Yes, even there.
I think 4 and below enters the "ultra-portable" range. At that point, you start sacrificing battery size, keyboard size, screen size, etc.
A lot of thing and lights seem to be in the 2.2-2.5 kg range these days. (4.8 - 5.5 lbs)
wbmw must be very, very surprised that the 2.2GHz 35W Turion is already for sale. Perhaps now he can see how they'll launch a 2.4GHz 35W Turion in Q3.
