wbmw, yeah, I doubt it'll compensate for the rest of the system, although it'll be interesting to see the power consumption of the new VIA chipset for XP-M, not to mention how the system as a whole will compare in actual use.

wbmw, do you have any info on the power dissipation / current draw / voltage of the Centrino's wireless component?
wbmw, I don't remember the model #, it was announced @ 2-3 weeks ago. Alchemy based. Combjelly probably knows right off the top of his head. AM1772?
Paul
kpf, very good point. If AMD's wireless solution is more efficient, it could offset a chunk of Centrino's processor savings.
You changed the parameter measured. You brought up, and I replied to, the MHz level. In that respect, I think they're doing OK considering the pipeline length.
Paul
Considering the pipeline length, sounds like they're doing OK.
Don't sweat it, you're doing fine.
OT: Elmer, give him a break! English is not his native language. I think he communicates pretty effectively, if grammatically imperfectly. Besides, "The spell checker is there to help yo" - perhaps you forgot to use the spell checker? ;)
Paul
Considerng that all the Opteron "1U"s I've seen the guts of have been 2P, I'd be surprised if these were 1P. Density is a desirable function and selling point of blades, isn't it?
Paul
sgolds, Sounds very timely. Wish you well!
Elmer, that may well be, but perhaps Microsoft had given them the impression Win64 would be ready much sooner. I doubt we'll ever know exactly what the truth was.
Paul
Personally, I'd rather keep it the way the consensus seems to be forming.
Paul
Elmer - earlier development units.
sgolds, what kind of business is it again? I remember you said once, but I've forgotten. Networking related?
Paul
One reason I can think of, Elmer, is that they need to push development of the software base for the processor, which is what most of the systems now are involved in. Sure it's great with 32-bit software, but it's even better with 64-bit.

low-voltage XP-M from 0.925-1.4V
Sorry, article's in German again. You know what to do.

sgolds, Sorry, I should have specified where to look. Look at the link related to the SiS748 chipset(2 down from the link/story you looked at.

Sounds good to me, spokeshave. I have faith y'all will handle it well.

Hmm... main ATA bottleneck opens a little. The new WD Raptor(SATA) is pretty impressive! A little expensive for the capacity, but when you take into account the construction and speed... It's whipping a good number of SCSI drives! Storagereview is an excellent storage site, just choose a test and press sort and you'll get an easy to read graph. They know a lot more about HDs than any other site I've seen. The full review was of a beta unit, but they updated the database with the new production unit data as well. Spokes, you may find this interesting, with your current situation.

low voltage XP-M up 1700-2600+ - pretty nice!

I would be concerned if it keeps coming up with errors, regardless whether or not the DFT utility can fix it. If it stops, then I'd just keep an eye on it. Are you keeping it nice and cool? That seems to be one of the common factors re: IBM failures. I have the same model, but a 40GB, that works without any problems as my imaging/storage drive, but it's in a FastSwap enclosure with its own fan for cooling, so it stays nice and cool. A lot of people think of cooling processors and video cards but forget what a dead spot hard drives can be in, focusing pockets of heat on the drive.
Paul
sgolds, that's not necessarily true. Where I can see it coming into play is in situations where there are less extended, but not brief, periods of intensive CPU use which bogs down the system. If PowerNow! or anything else can do this on the fly without latency, then the system would perform much more smoothly, which is very attractive to most people.
Paul
I agree that it'll become more and more important - but only if it's transparent; both operationally and performance-wise.
Paul
Kinda like PowerNow!, eh, wbmw?
spokes, there are a limited number of tactical suitcase nukes as well. I don't know what there yield is, though. Bound to be fairly small since they're man-portable.
Paul
spokes - Heck, I've seen him/her do 3 aliases in a day!!
Generally they're in the 500 to 2000lb range, with exceptions in both directions, of course.
Paul
Elmer et al - BTW, after reading my post later, I realized it may have sounded kind of "us against them", which wasn't my intention. I appreciate your presence here, even if I often disagree. I know you and others can handle some insults, but frankly, I don't see any reason for them, or any value in them. All they do is amplify noise/FUD/nastiness.
Paul
All, re: Elmer, wbmw, SemiconEng
It would be great if we could remember to keep things impersonal and unemotional with them. They do provide valuable input and viewpoints here. It's when things get personal and "attack-like" that they go down that road full force(some more than others, of course), and the thread suffers for it. I try very hard to minimize or avoid entirely the personal/attack component of my posts to them, and they've generally been very good about it. Don't write them off without trying that. Don't be drawn into it.
Paul
SemiconEng, Considering that P4 3.06 was introduced before XP3000+, the 4 pages(P4) vs. 3 pages(XP) availability on pricewatch very impressive.
The point re: delay is, I believe, that Hammer will take less time to get to real income than Itanium took. And AMD doesn't have to "push" Hammer, they're being "pulled" toward profitability by it. The world's beating a path to the doorway of the purveyor of the "better moustrap". I will grant that they've placed all their bets on Hammer, so "gotta get to Hammer" is valid. Of course, we don't know what they plan for the next generation.
Fortunately, all the speculation will be laid to rest soon.
So far AMD hasn't shipped a single unit nor demonstrated the ability to do so, but you already have them shipping volume.
No, Elmer, I didn't say they were shipping in volume now, but that they would be soon. As for not shipping a single unit, that's absurd. You know very well they've been selling evaluation units for a while now. Yes, those are evaluation units, but they're real processors. But time will tell who's right. While I agree with you that it's been substantially delayed(almost as badly as Itanium was/is), I think you're wrong re: the volume capability that's about to kick in.
Elmer, what do you consider volume? It won't be long (later this year)before Opteron has surpassed Itanium's combined total volume in 2 generations. Will the crossover be when you'll take it seriously, or will you wait until real volume? ;)
Paul
neye, even Kyle didn't do it, he did asynchronous 333/400.

"Overclocking
While we are sorry to leave you guys disappointed, we felt it best to not show any overclocking results based on the KT400A reference board as they will very possibly not represent retail boards build on this platform. Do count on us OCing retail boards though. Certainly we will be facing off our nForce2 board at 400MHz/400MHz synchronous with the KT400A at the same clocks if at all possible."
neye_eve, Wonder why they didn't compare at synchronous 400FSB/400memory? Bet I know. I was disappointed that Anandtech didn't look at that either. Well, someone will soon. Probably hardocp.com, I'd imagine.
Paul
sgolds, Sure it helps(dual channel), when it's an IGP chipset using int. graphics!
AMD marketing. I suspect they already are doing well in the market this will reach, though. ;)
Paul
PS. Jim on SI posted link
My mistake, I thought all the SFFs were low power mobiles.
