AMD lawsuit doesnt seem to be hurting the stock.

No, it's more of a "Microsoft, since your home country already found you guilty as hell of all this stuff and barely even slapped your wrist, we have to see that you're at least held accountable on OUR side of the pond. Now bend over." Don't make the mistake of thinking that Microsoft or...

AMD Anti-Trust Lawsuit: Chipzilla Strikes Back !!!

Hmph. First time I've seen this Dothan guy, but I must already express my contempt for him. Dothan, little fanboi, you should realize that the Intel reaction you propose would likely only serve to get Intel in even more hot water. Not much chance of Intel winning a preliminary injunction, and...

Xbit Labs found a major fault in the Netburst architecture?

"Major fault?" Hardly. It doesn't cause any errors or failures, unless the performance hit causes a real-time task to miss a deadline. And if you've got a real-time deadline to worry about, you probably shouldn't be using x86 anyways. I'd consider this a performance quirk. Intel...

Worst Anandtech review evar

That about sums up my thoughts: "WTF?" Comparing Intel's hen's-teeth best to a 3500+? What about an FX-53 or 3800+? You can't reasonably blame it on testing constraints either--AnandTech ought to have plenty of top-of-the-line Opteron/Athlon64 kit in-house. It's not like they haven't...

Tejas / Pentium 5 to be canceled today!

Actually, I think it's Intel's U turn on the whole "NetBurst is teh WIN!!!11" campaign. ;)

since intel and amd cross license from each other, why dont amd have hyperthreading?

There's some debate about exactly how helpful hyperthreading would be for AMD. With only a single thread running, a lot of components in the P4 just sit and spin their wheels. Running multiple threads via HyperThreading puts those components to good use without severely penalizing other...

Intel 64 or AMD 64 POLL & comments...

Oh, and by the way... No, not really (not to anyone's knowledge, anyways, and not in any rumors I've heard). IBM and AMD are reportedly cooperating on "process technology," nothing more. K9? Maybe, but I haven't heard anything of that. It's years off anyways, and IBM knows better than...

Intel 64 or AMD 64 POLL & comments...

"You're off the edge of the map, mate. Here there be monsters!"* FYI, it's called "thermal DESIGN power" because it's the heat level that each company recommends system builders plan for. I even remember reading a TDP footnote in some of Intel's P4 datasheets years ago that clarified this...

Arrg, network cable too short, what to do?

I personally just keep a spool of stranded Cat5e around and punch the proper length when I need it. Cheaper that way, if you're into punching cable anyways (for premise wiring jobs and the like). I bet you could find a friend who knew how to do it for you... Also, you should consider RJ45...

P4 EE being referred to as the "Emergency Edition"

Except that the P4C wasn't all that unexpected. It was in the works for months and had been out for months more, and its performance was quite well known. And since the Athlon64 fares quite well against it, I don't see why AMD would feel the need to frantically pull out the AthlonFX in...

P4 EE being referred to as the "Emergency Edition"

Why would the AthlonFX be the frantic response? Athlon64 3200+ takes the P4Cs just fine, has a long socket lifetime, runs on inexpensive mainstream memory, was pre-announced for ages, and is apparently in good supply. I'd categorize Athlon64 as a measured response, and AthlonFX as a preemptive...

Curious: 8 proccessors?

Well, there are quad Xeon motherboards. SuperMicro and Tyan specialize in that. They're quite large though--most won't fit in just any ATX case. Often you end up needing something like a SuperMicro SC850. Traditionally for the really large x86 boxen (4-8 way with >16GB DIMM capacity), the...

AMD Opteron Any Good?

Shame I can't afford such a box right now, else I might actually spend the moola to be a gineau pig. Porting my personal Linux distro to Alpha just isn't challenging enough anymore...

Custom ATX I/O shields?

Well...the motherboard I'm working with is mostly ATX compliant, but it has a pretty odd cutout for the ATX I/O panel. So I'm looking to find a cutout, and it looks like I'll need a custom cutout job done. Why didn't the mobo come with an ATX I/O shield? Well, it did--it also came with a case...

How long can AMD survive?

I thought it was just a friendly jab myself. ;) Anyways, i agree w/ most people here. AMD isn't going anywyere, and we really don't want Intel to go bust either.
