AMD Phenom and John Woo's Stranglehold In Action

Posted by Zonk on from the action-movie-and-chip-comparison-part-of-the-internet dept.

MojoKid writes "AMD hosted a small gathering in the Penthouse at the SoHo Grand Hotel in New York City yesterday to demo some products due to be released in the coming months. HotHardware attended the event and snapped some photos of the various demo stations. The shots and info regarding the AMD quad-core Phenom-powered system running John Woo's Stranglehold (Unreal 3.0 engine) will be of interest, as will the slick notebooks, HTPCs, and hand-held devices, like the HTC Advantage 7501. It's essentially a cross between a UMPC, Phone, PDA, and portable GPS. The device features and AMD Imageon processor, 8GB of flash memory, a 5" touch screen, and a built in magnetic QWERTY keyboard, GPS navigator and 3MP camera."

    As opposed to all those non-portable GPS units that are so popular nowadays. I bought a very expensive non-portable GPS and had it installed in my basement, so that I will immediately know if Carmen Sandiego steals my house.

      When I want quality time in my data center, I shut the door and start up the counterstrike server.

    Quality, performance, value; pick any two. Hint: Windows isn't "value"...

    So...you're trying to say that Windows is quality and performance?

    That seems an unlikely belief, for slashdot.

    Will only 4 cores be enough to render all the flying doves and the ten thousand bullets that Chow Yun Fat will fire as he glides down the stairs?

    There are a huge number of yeast infections in this county. Probably because we're downriver from the bread factory.

    Just get these new chips into my hands. I don't know which is taking longer to arrive:

    AMD quad core K10's
    Flying cars
    Televisions you unroll and hang on your wall
    Battery/Capacitor hybrids giving the best of each
    Truly efficient, cheap solar cells

    Perhaps...if you manage to drop it on the iPhone just right that is.

    on one hand I know competition is good, but on the other hand I want AMD fan boys to suck it.
