  3. Test idea on Xeons, Opterons Compared in Power Efficiency · · Score: 1

    Here is one test that needs to be done take a duel amd opteron workstation with 2 Quadro cards in sli and also put in a raid 5 sas or sata setup also do some networking at the same time. There are duel and quad amd opteron boards with nForce Professional chip sets. some have 4 pci-e slots x16 x8 x8 x16 with each half coming from a HTT link.

    Also take a duel intel workstation and try to do the same thing the best that you can find is x8 x8

    Use hacked sli drivers is ok.

    I think that the amd system will do better as it has much better io bandwidth.

  4. Chip sets for AMD are better on Xeons, Opterons Compared in Power Efficiency · · Score: 1

    With the intel chip set there is only 2 x8 pci-e lanes coming out of the north bridge and sas / sata-2 , pci-x, networking, as well as the pci-e slots on the board have to share them.

    So with a lot of network use and disk use you can choke up that bus.

  7. hyper transport on AMD Reveals Plans to Move Beyond the Core Race · · Score: 4, Informative

    Intel would be better off if they where to start useing hyper transport Even having two cores on same die with linked by hyper transport to each other with one link to the chip set is better then 2 cores shearing the FSB.

    What is the point of having 32 cores with only one link to the chip

    Even with the new Xeon's there still only one link per cpu and the cpus need to use it to get to ram

    Amd chips right now have up to 3 newer ones will have up to 5 links

  16. hybrid hard disks are comeing on Why Do Computers Take So Long to Boot Up? · · Score: 1

    hybrid hard disk will put the part of the os in flash ram. But still you still need to do a full flush of ram to get rid of all of junk and leeks that get stuck in ram.

    Also in pc there is a lot more hardware then a tv that has to have it's own bios load. Also with a tv the first boot is lot slower then when you trun it off and on later on.
