First Benchmarks of AMD Hammer Prototype

porciletto writes "As seen on Ace's Hardware, this article features Quake 3 benchmarks comparing an 800 MHz ClawHammer sample to Athlon MPs at 800 MHz and 1667 MHz, as well as a Willamette Pentium 4 (256 KB L2, 400 MHz FSB) at 800 MHz and 1600 MHz. The benchmark results indicate a 40% performance increase over an Athlon MP for the ClawHammer. Additionally, the 800 MHz ClawHammer manages to tie (actually outperform by 1 FPS) the 1667 MHz Willamette Pentium 4."

  1. FIRST BSD BABE POST! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    How can BSD be dying when it has girls like this supporting it? The best Linux can come up with is an obese penguin. What are those Linux people smoking? What we need are more free software babes like her. This guy looks like he is about to cream his pants standing next to such a fox. Even this old Unix guru looks like he's having trouble keeping his wang under control when close to such an amazing babe. This girl has to be one of the hottest ever! I can tell you that I'll be installing BSD after catching sight of her! Linux will never be able to compete until it ditches the fat arctic birdlife and gets itself a mascot like this little hottie.

    Join the campaign for more cute open source babes today!

  5. Microwave my brains! by fisman · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I always believed that the MHz war would stop short of 2.4GHz as that is the absorbtion band that Microwave ovens operate in.

    The latest 2.4GHz machines I have a couple of questions.
    1) Does it emit 2.4GHz Microwaves and how many?
    2) Do these fry your brains while sitting close to the machine? (Safety tests?)
    3) Will it reboot if I superheat my cup of coffee in the microwave across the room?

    Hmmmmm .... That is definately worth an experiment!

    Does this extend the life of Unix for awhile longer? AFAIH, the 'death of Unix' would happen when a certain unsigned long overflowed and wrapped over.

    You may find this might do the trick for especially tough documents "I am so very very very happy that you are so very very nice" verys seperated by line breaks should be dealt with with a tool like ssam, for which newline is just another character (I can't think of a sed hack that would deal with such a situation properly- maybe join two adjacent lines if one contains a very at the end and the next a very at the beginning before the pattern matching?)

    sed 's/very \{very \}+/extremely /g'
