What do you expect from Barcelona in reality?

So not only are you predicting that 200Mhz (the difference between the two Phenoms) will make a big difference, but you are also predicting that Intel will release no new processors between December 2007 and March 2008. I am going to doubt it on both counts.

RMA: OCZ Platinum DDR2-800?

What version of Vista are you running? If you have the 32bit version, then nothing is wrong with the ram you have. With a 32bit OS, you will only see a little over 3GB of ram in windows due to the fact that devices such as PCI bus, AGP, or PCI-Express have to mapped to memory. The only way to...

POWER6

The Power 5 image you linked is of a multichip module, not a single Power 5 chip. Each of the four center chips contains 2 Power 5 cores and the outer four chips hold 36MB of L3 cache. Here is a pic of a single Power 5 die with 2 cores: Power5

Has there been any word on G90?

I need to get me some of that GDDR4 XDR2 to replace my SRAM EDO DDR RDRAM in my pc.

The Cell can't hit 1TFLOP. The Cell's peak is 256GFLOPS at 4Ghz.

Intel Demonstrates 80-Core, 3GHz, Air Cooled, Teraflop CPU

The chip was built using Intel's 65nm process. As for how they compare to a Conroe core, they are alot smaller. The entire chip is 100M transistors and each core is only 3mm^ 2 (This is just an estimate, but I think each Conroe core, without any cache is roughly 35mm^2.)

Holy Lord... Intels Larrabee ---disclaimer: INQ LINQ

It doesn't matter how you design the GPU or what architecture you use, high-end GPU's process ridiculous amounts of data. In order to be able to feed the GPU the data you need either tons of on die memory, like edram, or you need tons of bandwidth to off die memory. The on die approach isn't...

New Details on R600 emerging - ReScheduled to MAY Launch

Unfortunately this isn't true. According to Cevat Yerli, the CEO of Crytek, there are no plans for Crysis on any of the consoles at this point. Xbox360 Clarification

ATI's R600 has 64 real pipes

These are the same guys that say that the R600's core will reach 1GHz. Yeah right! :laugh: ATI's R600 reaches for 1000MHz clock

Intel's Next Gen - Conroe - what do you make of the speculation?

I think the Inquirer article is complete BS. The author is the same author who wrote the "Cell Architecture Explained" article that said stuff like this: Now I am as excited and curious as the next guy when it comes to the Cell and its potential, but the stuff this guy says is completely...

Smithfield Users Where Are You?

I assume you mean Conroe, right? Dothan is the Pentium M that is currently out now. Yonah is the next Pentium M, available for notebooks in Q4 2005/Q1 2006, and Napa is the platform (chipset, graphics and wireless lan) it will run on. Conroe is the next major reworking of Intel's desktop...

seagate 7200.8 vs raptor

I assume you mean 7200.8, when talking about the Seagate drive? In my opinion, get the Seagate 250GB drive. At newegg.com they have a one day sale on them that makes them the same price as the 36.7GB Raptor. You might see a little better performance from the Raptor, but I think the extra...

Cell & XBOX 360 Architecture

The 2TFLOPS number that Sony released is for total system performance, not just the Cell. The same thing is true for XBox 360, 1TFLOP is the total system performance. The Cell's theoretical peak is 218GFlops, while the 360's cpu's theoretical peak is a little over 100GFLOPS.

Xbox 360 CPU vs PS3 CPU...3 cores vs 8 cores

"its back to the drawing board for PS3", what are you talking about? The PS3 has always been slated for release in 2006. Also the Xbox 360 doen't have 3 cpu's, it has 1 cpu with 3 cores.

PSU for dual-cores

The link does not work. Here is a new one: http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20050405/images/board_big.jpg If you look closely you will notice that the AUX power connector on the motherboard is different. It is an 8 pin connection instead of the usual 4 pin. I wonder if PSU's with the...
