AMD Moving to a 400MHz Bus?
An anonymous reader writes "According to this tantalizing Infoworld Scoop, AMD soon introduce a 400 Mhz bus. Seems that SiS's big announcement at CEBIT is the SiS748 chipset, which supports both 400 MHz DDR & AGP 8X, and is targeted at the upcoming Athlon 3200+."
You computer will blow up if the processor speed-steps below 600Mhz...
Gee, good thing you know your metaphors, otherwise you'd be stirring a can of worms by leaving the wrong impression.
Stop by my site where I write about ERP systems & more
I vote: Porn Stars!
'Sylvia' is the initial version with a 400 MHz DDR bus and 512K of cache.
'Jenna' is the second version, with extended SSE instructions and a bus speed jump to 500 MHz DDR.
'Traci' is the big jump to a 800 Mhz DDR bus and a 1MB L2 cache. It makes its debut with the 'Peter' Northbridge chipset along with a Southbridge that has no name, but a very wide bus...
A deep unwavering belief is a sure sign you're missing something...
That is the sensible approach, but it does have a cost: one quarter of your penis length.
Yikes, that's one inch I can't afford to lose.
I think you just put your finger on why AMD sales are down. Opteron is so hyped up people are waiting for that.
I blame:
1) non-gamers/power users don't need a new PC
2) economy sucks
3) Athlon kicked butt when it came out, but Intel came back with some nice, fast chips. And hyperthreading. Mmm, delicious hyperthreading...
4) ???
5) No profit!
Synergy is your friend
Just take the bathroom fan out and mount it on these bad boys .... ya'll will be good to go @ about 60c.
actually I am happy to see you, however that is in fact a banana in my pocket.
Is that 400 MHz in Intel or AMD numbers? Are they going to release it as the 533+ bus operating at 400MHz? You know, so consumers won't get confused...
Best Buy rep: Based on what you described to me, I would recommend this Compaq with an Athlon 2100+ processor.
Average customer: Is that a Pentium? How fast is it?
Best Buy rep: Actually, it's roughly equivelent to the Pentium 4 architecure, and runs at about 1.8GHz.
Average customer: Oh, give me whatever's cheaper.
Best Buy: *sigh* Have you taken a look at our eMachines yet?
