AMD Delays Hammer

TeJarz writes "C|Net reports that their next processor (Hammer) has been rescheduled from its original Q4 release to Q1 2003. To quote C|Net: 'The delays are occurring to accommodate the release of a new version of Athlon with a 333MHz bus, said Crank. Current Athlons come with a 200MHz bus and 256KB of secondary cache.' Let's hope this doesn't get moved again."

    2) i saw your snide fucking remark about that other guy who doesnt like welfare. i dont like welfare, and im not a republican. and the worst part, for you, was that you said; "I agreed with him, then I found out he was a Republican." so if a republican is right about something, you would negate it knowingly? That about sums of left wingers in a nutshell. Too worthless to even acknowledge the truth. Righties are greedy fucks. but Id rather learn towards greed than stupidity and ignorance.

    Sometimes, spelling errors are typos because you type over 100 WPM and it's 4AM. Sometimes, you don't format, because you're lazy, or just don't care or think it matters. And sometimes, you don't have to have the best use of English, especially when you started using it at age 9.

    Translating Deacon Slick Prick Rick's Freakish Babble.

    I am a big computer geek.
    I'm a fat unwashed sexless trollbaiter.

    I'm 20 years old and I've been into these things since I was 12.
    I'm 13, just got my first erection from a gay black porn site, and I don't know anything but my dad's credit card to get gay black porn.

    I learned BASIC and HTML in 8th grade, and C an C++ sometimes around 10th grade, which was also when I got into using Linux (Slackware '98!).
    Since I don't know anything about anything, or English for that matter, I'm going to go to Ziff Davis and copy words and stuff. He knows, BASIC, HTML, C and C++. OMFG. He is a COMPUTERING GOD. Lets worship Slick Rick and his l33t skills. [ed.]Rick, you working on any OpenSouce stuff we might have a look at, yeah, I though so. Put your money where you mouth is, asshole.[ed.]. I use Slackware because I'm a k1dd1e and I don't have to worry about package management because I don't work for a living, I prance around like a fag on Slashdot.

    I have a big history in gaming, networking, programming, and fiddling around with other general random stuff, including lots of multimedia. I think I know more than Thompson, Ritchie, Kernighan and even Stroustrup. I'm so fucking l33t, Torvalds calls me for instructions on how to write HTML.

    Over the years, I've gone from a 486SX 25MHz, to a DX2 66MHz, to a Cyrix 6x86 166 (don't ask what I was thinking), to a K6 233, and finally, to a Celeron 366 which I have been running for two years and am currently running at 550MHz.
    What this has to do with an Opteron coming, God only knows. I have bought shit computers, well my stupid fucking dad did, and we don't have any engineering experience so we don't need FPUs or real precisions. We are techies!

    This CPU works great, and it does everything I need it to do. It compiles kernels fast, it works with multimedia and video editing at a decent speed, it encodes MP3 and Ogg at a good rate, and it can handle the games I like (Quake III and Unreal Tournament, mostly).
    Which, I just named 5 CPUs, Well I don't fucking want to tell you, I burned them ALL out overcl0xo1ng so I use a Texas Instruments SPEAK AND SPELL. I think kernels compiling fast on my SUPER LEET CONNER DRIVE means less than one day. I forgot to mention I don't play Q3 or UT, I lose at Q3 and UT.

    Why haven't I upgraded, you ask?
    [ed] I didn't ask, and no one cares you fucking lunatic.[ed]

    Well, I did for a while, to an Athlon 900, and the performance was great, but I killed it myself.
    I'm too fucking stupid not to drop pennies on "MOBOS" from my pocket protector. Nerds are cool.

    Ever since then, I've just stuck to the Celeron.
    Because I cant afford a real CPU, I use this piece of fucking shit and tell everyone on Slashdot that ITS SO FUCKING COOL.

    Now, after Athlons have been out for a long, LONG time, I have an Athlon XP 2000+ sitting around, patiently waiting for me to get a motherboard and case to go along with it's RAM and 80GB hard drive.
    I was attracted to a black man on my paper route, and I felt his crotch. He beat me to a pulp so I can't work. Now I cant afford to replace that motherboard I broke.

    But I am patient, I'm not worried, I'm not some kinda freak that believes extremely strongly that without this boost in performance I'm gonna freakin die.
    I have no money, and I'm too stupid to consult. But Linux calls me and tells me to make penguin gifs and put them at Transmeta. I'm a suppressed homo, so that's how I freak out, not by burning my ball bag on un-heat-sinked Celerons.

    That said, I will probably not be getting an AMD Hammer CPU until one or two years after it's been in the market. I might get it sooner, who knows, but I am not in a hurry for this thing. There is no rush for me.
    I want a Hammer. It reminds me of hammering ass. But I cant afford it. And I don't want it probably because it isn't for sale yet. My penis is getting bigger, I saw a black man in an El Camino drive by

    Why? I don't know... I mean, I do a lot more with computers than most people I know running processors operating at over 1GHz or 2GHz, and I'm really happy with my simple, old, yet still fast, robust, and fully-functional Celeron 550 CPU.
    I have such a piece of shit, probably with an ABIT motherboard and IDE RAID with hard drives of different sizes. But IM COOL. I have to convince you all that im cool. I'm cool FAGGORSANDS IM K3WL.

    Upgrades are overrated, and anyone sweating diesel because this thing has been pushed back a few times, needs to take a chill pill, and calm down. A good thing... a TRULY good thing... is well worth waiting for.
    I don't know what an upgrade is. I have had faggot CPUS my whole short life. And then the break when I OC them to 3x the original speed. I am gay and like small cache CPUs. I sweat diesel because we live in a trailer park next to an oil refinery. I use capital letter judiciously. I am cool. Linus likes me. S14ckw4r3 is cool. I wait for sex. My man lust erotic fantasy, Don King, doesn't return my phone calls.
