Double-Whammy Look At The Pentium 4

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the rest-your-eyes-first dept.

SystemLogicNet writes: "We at SystemLogic.net have just taken a technical look at the Pentium 4 architecture. In the article we go over all the basics that all the other sites cover like the double pumped ALUs, iSSE2, the longer pipeline, etc, but in addition we have some discussion about how different program structurings have an impact upon the design, and performance of the Pentium 4. One of the major areas where this comes into play is how complex data structures interact with the underlying philosophy that the Pentium 4 is built upon -- extreme bandwidth. This Pentium 4 technical background can be read over here. At the same time, we've done a rigorous analysis, including benchmark description and discussion regarding the Pentium 4's performance, and this can be read over this way."

    Never.

    I heard that in the dawn assault Vladinator got ass-fucked by members of the MaldaCore until he bled to death. All other residing trolls were summarily shot.

    Are you one of those prozac-poppers who can't ejaculate and keep on pumping until the woman is starting to feel worn down there?

    "Redundant" would indicate that no further information was added. In this case, I pointed out that improper branch prediction would result in a very slight slowdown while the "analogies" were examples of computers failing to function 10% of the time.

    There is no moderation word that means "this post agreed with a previous one but provided clarification and additional information." Maybe that's because posts like that are not supposed to be modded down. If you are a moderator, make sure that you understand the meaning of the words before you moderate.

    P.S. Oh no! I'm down to 48 karma points!
