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."

that wasn't a bad story.

we're pretty much damned with either as president, and our civil liberties are threatened by both parties.

it's a pisser. and enough to drive you to take out your frustrations on some canadians ;-)

Kind of silly if you ask me. I'm not crazy about John Kerry but calling his record "monstrous" based on the incidents in that story is pure hyperbole. Yeah, the Patriot Act was a huge mistake, but not Kerry's alone by a long shot and as, the article states, he's trying to fix it to some degree with SAFE. The bits about his stance on encryption and "wiretapping" of VoIP are not the horrible violations of civil liberties they're being passed off as. These things would require a court order and therefore give law enforcement no new powers, just keep them on the same level as they've always been as technology marches forward. Like I said, I'm not Kerry's biggest fan, but in a two party system is it really fair to say "Kerry's Monstrous Record on Civil Liberties" without saying "Is only 1/10 as Monstrous as that of the Bush Administration"?

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!
