AMD 90nm Evaluated

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the never-can-have-enough-fps dept.

muyuubyou writes "The Tech Report has measured the new 90nm A64 3500+ against its 130nm counterpart and a Pentium 4 3.6Ghz 90nm. AMD looks way ahead in the 90nm process especially when it comes to power consumption. Note these are consumptions for the entire system including GeForce 6800 GTs and hefty PSUs. RTFineShortArticle for more detail on the configuration. Leaving the PC on overnight is probably not a good idea with these new Pentium 4s."

    69 Degrees F? What glacier do you live on?
    I'm freezing at 75 and make sure I bring in a jacket if I know the office is going to be 70 or below. 80-85 is about perfect and 90 is fine. as for average temperature of the environments for our computers, 80-85 is normal. only one person here has a computer running in a 69 degree room, and that machine has the highest incidence of failure (though that's not temperature related, it's user-related).

    I keep trying to get a nice sun-warmed basking rock installed, but management as concerns that it might lessen my productivity....
