  1. Three centrio notebooks reviewd on AMD Releases 12 New Chips at CeBIT · · Score: 1

    Over at Anandtech there are three Pentium M (=centrio) notebooks reviewed.
    -> http://www.anandtech.com/mobile/showdoc.html?i=180 1

    Interestingly at most benchmarks the Pentium M compares equally to a Pentium 4 2.4GHz. But under "Sysmark Internet Content Creation" the desktop P4 pulls away. Even an comparable Athlon XP M should be faster at this (intel friendly) benchmark.

  2. Hot air on Giant Firefighting Blimp · · Score: 1

    Such an airship is nearly impossible to build.
    In Germany the company Cargolifter tried to build an simmilar airship - now they are blanc.

    Some Problems:
    - If they stand in air with 1000000 litres of water, they will rocket upwards after they have deployed all their water. Same problem at refill.

    - If they use helium, the airship had to be larger than 300metres. Cargolifter (260metres) shouldt only carry 160tons. If they use hydrogen, they would not get al lizense to fly such a beast.

    Maybe it's possible if they spend $1000000000 over 5-10 years of development.

  3. Re:VIA and Cyrix III must have rc-4 on Linux 2.4.18 Released · · Score: 1

    Why?

  4. SPEC FP on Hot New Silicon Graphics Workstations · · Score: 1


    SPEC FP
    from aceshardware:

    POWER4 1300MHz 1098
    P4 Xeon 2200MHz 779
    Alpha 21264C 1000MHz 776
    USarcIII 1050MHz 701
    Athlon XP 1667MHz 596
    MIPS R14000 500MHz 436
    Athlon 1400MHz 426

    Maybe the R14000A is a bit faster than the R14000.
