AMD and Intel Update CPU Roadmaps

vincecate writes "Recently AMD updated their processor roadmap. It shows their move to 90 nm and has a range of new processors over the next 1.5 years, including dual-core chips. An unofficial AMD roadmap shows speeds and performance increasing. Intel also recently updated their roadmap. Intel does not show anything faster than the current 3.6 Ghz in the next 11 months, including the recently delayed 4 Ghz chip, except to say '3.6 Ghz or greater.' Strangely, some of the recent SPEC benchmark results show the 3.6 Ghz chip to be slower than the 3.4 Ghz chip. One possible explanation for this is that the 3.6 Ghz chips will slow down due to 'thermal throttling' if you are not very careful to keep them cool. So it seems like heat may be the reason Intel's roadmap does now show much improvement."

mod parent up, get rid of that ugly ass color that looks like newborn baby-shit

Why not use squidguard?

Just add a rewrite rule to your squidGuard config file as so:

rew slashdot {
s@it.slashdot.org@slashdot.org@
}

and you'll never have to see the yellow scheme again. In fact you could add it for any scheme you don't like on Slashdot... Simple!
