in speed comparison to x86 based laptops it is, we could get into an argument on how build quality, customer service and OS X make make up for the high cost but the fact of the matter is that the price was probably lowered to keep the line more attractive to consumers rather than to say "hey we've got a new laptop coming out in a couple weeks" (im looking at the uk prices not the US ones, they're still pretty damn expensive over here)
or it could be a second there are plenty of 64bit laptops/notebooks around for example http://www.mobileworkstations.net/products/index.h tml The g4's are still there, the powerbook price was probably dropped because they're ageing and dropping the price will attract people who have been thinking about it for a while to buy them
I suppose that it would be more appropriate for fines to be in percentages of total assets, but that would be too logical and too reasonable to be implamented by any real government/court system
Did anyone else watch the spiderman series in which a scientist (british if i remember correctly), created a machine to create black holes for transportation, then the green goblin got the machine yada yada yada...... time to get a life
You will still get "Rock Solid, multi-architecture, Fast-as-hell TCP stack... All the things that make NetBSD the place to be! " because its using the netbsd kernel, the difference is that you will have all the GNU tools and it will be in the format of a linux system, basicly your getting debian linux with the netbsd kernel replacing the linux kernel.
Please tell me their gonna make a film of PONG! i can imagine the trailer now. A power struggle between two collosal forces this world has never seen before.........*cue cheesy fade in/out effects*......... Staring Chuck Norris... Arnold schwartzanegger..... PONG
well n e way in response to myself, i converted the prices at the end of the article to £ sterling, dunno if its gonna be priced the same in the uk... but top of the range opteron is around £500 and the xeon is around £650,
thought might be interesting to n e one from the uk who is salavating as much as me over these babies, and no i dont eat processors and yes i do have a girlfriend before would be smart arses try and "get one over"
Finally been able to read the whole article, damn 404's, I think the opteron is very reasonable as a workstation its not bleeding edge compared to the dual xeon rig, but it all comes down to the price, if amd can sell this chip slightly cheaper than the xeon then its definately gonna sell extremely well, my only worry is the yield per wafer, this is really gonna have a huge affect on the price i dont know if they can afford to price it cheaper than the xeon, im confused at where this is being marketed, is it a direct competitor to the itanium(2) or xeon?
I'm just a little dissapointed with the whole ddr2 situation, i find it interesting that some mobo maufacurers have already worked out how to disable the on-chip memory controller, will using a northbridge memory controller have even larger latencies as a side affect of that? i suppose its just gonna depend on how long it takes amd to react and change the controller.
I think the smartest thing they can do with this chip is upgrade the controller to ddr2 and move to a 9ìm production processes, but is this gonna happen anyway because of the fab venture with ibm?

why not high quality on board sound? im sure this would sound better than an audigy http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/aopentube/
your g5's coming with jaguar not panther my "1337" haxor friend
yeah but bills got his eye on penguin "source"
... i know ... i formally apologise
it was bad
Im betting our friend Bill is hoping that the pengiun chokes and dies on that apple
root mean squared? what do penguins have to do with physics?!?!

is it gonna be a 3 part trilogy? or are they going to start doing prequals just to make a bit more money?
