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."

    AMD posted a $600m loss. Heres hoping their new processor line (barcelona and phenom) can fix things for them - I'd hate to see Intel lose its only competition.

    Only if Apple can convince everybody that their own late entry into the smartphone market is now somehow the standard for comparison.

    They don't need to convince anyone anymore. The iPhone already has convinced enough people.

    Even if you don't like the iPhone, you should be glad it exists. It sets a new standard for a phone UI. For the first time, there's a phone that whose UI is universally liked; a phone that does not only look good and not only has a neat list of features, but is also fun to use. This is good for everyone, because it forces the other phone manufacturers to do what they should have been doing for the last decade: Start making phones aimed at users instead of at carriers.

    the entire game will be played in a similar style to max payne's bullet time. you will be a retired (bad guy) trying to make it on your own as a white dove breeder, when suddenly (something dramatic from your past) comes back to seek revenge. This time you'll (1 - seek revenge 2 - team up with -- to seek revenge 3 - defend your --)
