except the applicance will cost as much as a budget pc, and then what happens when you change phones? oh, well sorry folks, the phone makers will make you buy another 80 dollar appliance connection cable, or the bluetooth will no longer work properly. you think pc interfaces are bad? cell phone interfaces are horrible.
everyone get radios? are they handing out 10,000? clearly you have not been to the astrodome. they have a more than loud enough pa system to get over 60,000 people to hear something. not to mention huge scoreboards, and a few huge led screens they can announce things on. how will they charge the radios? will they have 10,000 outlets to use? we have a hard enough time getting 1000+ for a 500 seat lan party in a convention center that was made with a lot of outlets. the dome doesn't have plugs in the middle of the field. that sort of gets in the way. i never saw an astro or an oiler stop mid game, and plug in a walkman. guess what, the pain in the ass of getting the radios to everyone, and keeping them charged is enourmous. how bout we set up hdtv broadcasts in the astrodome. i mean come on, everyone brought hd tvs with them right? think about the actual problem before you start blasting texas officiala, and dome officials that have been kicking ass helping all of these people.
I do all my graphs starting from 0. You guys sure make a lot of wild generalizations. I've been doing this for over 7 years now, and have reviewed more boards that probably almost anyone on the planet for amdzone and socketa.com. Perhaps I would know what I'm talking about.
is making them use Apples, and therefor training them to "hack" on a platform that has a mere 2% of the marketshare when they could be "hacking" on Windows and having a chance to make it as real time "hackers" in the real world that 90% of the computers use. Sounds like a school I want to send my kids to. Actually sounds like the typical school wasting 10's of thousands on Macs.
I don't know but maybe two sites that do that shit. I review them as they come in, not in batches. Few do them in batches. Anandtech and Tom's maybe. And anyone not checking for a correct clock speed should be doing something else. Huge advantage from 2MHz? You smoking something? Mod this one down. It is not insightful whatsoever.
Few motherboards are set exactly to 200MHz, or whatever mhz they are to use for an exact clock. You simply set them to the correct one. Of course 1MHz off doesn't matter much in the grande scheme of things, but I've seen as high as 4MHz off before. New news this is not even close to being. They should have checked the MHz before they even started benchmarking. It has been widely reported for years, but then actual news I submit goes rejected. Adios the good old days of/.
It is another hot August in Texas, and that means Quakecon. The highlight is always the id presentation topped off with programmer and rocketeer extraordinaire John Carmack's chat with the audience. We will find out more about Quake 4 including viewing the E3 trailer. We will find out about what Carmack thinks of the hype surrounding the next generation consoles. John will also reveal how he feels about current CPU and GPU technology. The benefits and challenges of multithreading will be covered as well his thoughts on dedicated physics cards. Also don't forget about the latest on Armadillo Aerospace, what car John is driving, and why he thinks cell phone gaming in the next year or so could be where we find our next new gaming genre from. Hold on as we dig in deep to another information packed id Quakecon presentation and the first live John Carmack game tech talk and Q and A session since 2002.
Yeah, and then the smart people can sit back and smile as they boot up their dual core Athlon 64 and run whatever OS they want faster than either of them.
yeah, i had the link to that, and much more in my submission that got rejected. i guess slashdot decides what to post based on who submits the least information.:) anyway, we have notes from AMD's just released conference call on the antitrust suit here. We also have links to all news stories we have found on the subject here. We also have links to all AMD pages on their site relating to the case here. We have followed this story for years, and have recently cited the lack of AMD desktops in Best Buy as recently as 11 days ago, and we will be following this story much more closely and accurately than groklaw.
It isn't dual core, it does not have hyperthreading. Since you are throwing the stones with the glass house, put up your FX57 review, so we can take aim at it, or shut up. I doubt you would do a better job. Of course you couldn't, you don't have the hardware, but you sure can mouth off on Slashdot like you are important.
dodgey? duane has been around since 98, like we have. how the fuck is it dodgey? the 57 will be the fastest in gaming, but not much faster than the x2. why? because the clock is not that different. same fucking conclusion I had when I did my fx57 preview last week. maybe you should do some research before you start typing. clearly you have not.
You can find the new San Diego core FX benched at FX57 and FX59(3GHz) speeds here.
I use my small form factor Athlon 64 desktop as a server, and my athlon 64 laptop as a server too at our lans. Gaming, DHCP, file, DC++, etc, etc. Linux, Freebsd, Windows, 64 or 32 bit. So how exactly does OSX have an advantage other than it is slower, costs more, and runs less servers for me? Still waiting on that BF2 port from Aspyr down the road from me. So 2007 then?
available today. So says Johan here. Seems there are some major OS level issues. I'll stick to my Opterons and any OS I want to run.
Performance is at that point only 1/10th of the Opteron and Xeon. We have tested this on Panther (10.3) and on Tiger (10.4.1), triple-checked every possible error and the result remains the same: something is terribly wrong with the MySQL server performance.
SPEC CPU 2000 Int numbers compiled with GCC show that the G5 reaches about 75% of the integer performance of an equally clocked Opteron. So, the purely integer performance is not the issue. The Opteron should be quite faster, but not 10 times faster.
We checked with the activity monitor, and the CPUs were indeed working hard: up to 185% CPU load on the MySQL process. Notice that the MySQL process consists of no less than 60 threads.
No, actually historically Intel has run hotter. You have been clouded by the Tom's Hardware video. AMD ran hotter towards the end of Slot A, and towards the end of Socket A, but that has been it.
Slashdot Mirror
more interesting. I mean we reviewed this Asus card 10 days ago. The real news is the 512mb card finally being used by COD2.
can we just redirect slashdot to xyzcomputing? it would make it easier really.
you can't buy it, believe me, i've tried.
and were were told this was not a paper launch. we just got nforce 430 in however.

Where I'll be on a panel on CPUs and holding a lan party again this year. If you can't come to Ohio, then come to Texas.

is that the best you zealots can do?
apple users never have a sense of humor. set to flamebait already by some guy who not only lacks humor, but a sense of reality.

for rejecting my submission about this guys! :) AMDZone doesn't cover this kind of stuff well anyway.

Yeah, no one bought that PII 266MHz when it came out at over $1,000.
