  1. Re:Common socket, gmpf! by MojoStan · · Score: 2, Informative · on Intel Plans A Common Socket For Xeon, Itanium
    Of course to top it all off Intel claims that all of its bus technology is "proprietary", this is why nVidia hasn't made an nForce chipset for the P4 yet. AMD on the other hand has a much more open policy and actively encourages 3rd party motherboard and chipset makers. A policy which has worked very well for AMD to date.
    Intel's NetBurst bus may be proprietary, but I don't think that's the reason NVIDIA hasn't made a chipset yet for the Pentium 4. Intel has licensed the bus to other 3rd party chipset makers like ATI, SiS, VIA, and ALi and they have all been shipping P4 chipsets for some time.

    Here are some current examples:
    ATI RADEON 9100 PRO IGP
    SiS SiS648FX
    VIA PT800
    ALi M1681

    I don't know why NVIDIA doesn't make nForce chipsets for the P4. Maybe NVIDIA doesn't want to compete with Intel in making chipsets

    There's also the ALLADiN-P4 (their caps lock key, not mine), though I haven't seen any motherboards with that chipset.

  3. M1647vsAMD761vsSIS 735/745vsKT266/KT266vsNForce by DABANSHEE · · Score: 2 · on Chipset Duel - VIA vs. Nvidia nForce

    It was a incomplete comparison

    It really should have been a VIA KT266 vs VIA KT266A vs NVidia NForce vs AMD 760 vs SIS 735 vs SIS 745 vs ALI MAGiK 1 / M1647 (both revisions)
    comparison.

  4. Some useful links - ALI's comdex press releases by es · · Score: 3 · on ArtX, Hannibal and Consumer Fraud
    These are also found in another message burried inside of a thread. In case you don't see them there I'm repeating them.

    ALI press release on their comdex booth

    ALI/Artx press release on the Aladdin 7

    ALI/nVidia press release on the Aladdin TNT

    If you take the time to look at them, you'll see that ALI was showing both the Artx chip and a TNT2 based chip in the same booth. This is precisely what has been denied by the person giving his thoughts on the booth. In fact he states that he was at the booth for an *hour* and the word TNT was never mentioned. Seeing as one of the 3 products there was called the 'Aladdin TNT,' I find this hard to believe.

    There is no denying that Rick Calle screwed up. He should have posted a note to the discussion list pointing out the facts of what was actually shown at the booth and provided proof(such as the URLs above). He should have posted this and put his name and email address at the bottom. He didn't, and that was a mistake. Unfortunately he seemed in a rush to counter some potentially incorrect information that was out there about his company and it's product.

    I think we all need to ask ourselves what would happen if we had just released something and someone started talking about in a negative way, *and* it appears that the person may not have even been looking at the product in question? What if I were talking about some new Linux distribution that looked remarkably like Windows98, and performed just as poorly? (And it turned out to actually have been Windows98, but I was *mistaken* in believing that it was Linux?)
