Intel & AMD News

haha, 800s coming out NEXT YEAR.

Another string of blunders or lack of compeditive effort from Intel in the next 3 years and the VIA 'cyrix' will be compeditive with the latest Intel cpu and AMD will be on top.........

*nVidia'ed*

"the news that the Pentium 4 will not be Intel's last 32-bit processor even though they have that Itanium 64-bit cpu coming up. "

If that is true....... the mgmt and investors of AMD must be whistling out of thier assholes... b/c that means Intel is going to try to make a 32/64 bit CPU similar to the upcoming AMD one.

Good Luck Intel....... after that fiasco with the 'new' 800 series chipset for your P3 coppermines.......... somehow I feel AMD will exceed what Intel is capable of.

Whoever is running Intel needs to be FIRED now. NOW.... not next year.. or 2 years from now......... NOW!

64bit is cool.... i can have 18,014,398,509,481,984 mb's of ram

All these MHZ is kinda pointless with memory bandwidth and HDD being the biggest bandwidth
Still sounds nice on paper though

BTW

intel=0vvn3d

er.. wow
/me put's down the moonshine

Im still agonizing over a 1ghz tbird system or a 933mhz P3. I'm going to want a new system in the next 3-4 weeks.

Tbird advantage = (slightly) faster
Tbird disadvantage = slightly more expensive, stability/compatability risks/questions

P3 = slightly slower, slightly cheaper, but stable and compatible as all hell

Should I get a 533 or a 566 Celeron? I have full intentions of running it at 850 or higher. Should I get it now or wait until a certain day when the price drops?

I'm too cheap and I can't justify the expense of getting a P3. I'd also have to get some PC133 ram for it too.

You know what? I think Overclocking really does cause these errors.

here y'all go: (shamelessly ganked from Ars)

the groovieness of 64-bit:
Extremely large file support: In order to deal with address offsets in a file larger than 2GB, you need something bigger than a 32-bit pointer. That's where a 64-bit integer format helps out. Some 32-bit systems can address files larger than 2GB, but it takes some doing. And having a 64-bit file pointer readily available helps out with the next advantage we'll talk about.

Extremely large physical memory support: With IA-64, you'll be able to install more RAM than you could possibly afford. For most of us, hitting the 4GB max of 32-bit systems costs more cash than we're willing to lay out. But with a 64-bit architecture, multi-gigabyte RAM capacities are at least possible, if not affordable.
A huge virtual address space for applications: In your average 32-bit environment, applications are limited to a virtual address space of 2GB-4GB for storing code and data. With IA-64, this number will be 1 million terabytes. I'm tempted to say about this number what Bill Gates supposedly said about 640K back in the DOS days-"One million terabytes ought to be enough for anybody." But don't quote me on that in 10 years when Quake 16 takes up three or four million terabytes of hard disk space.

64-bit computation: Having larger registers for holding integer and floating point data allows for an increased dynamic range. The dynamic range of a number format is just the range of values, from the lowest to the highest, that it can hold. Not too many mainstream programs use integers or floating-point values that are outside of the dynamic range available in a 32-bit system (we're talking really large numbers here), but it does happen. So IA-64 will let you crunch impossibly big numbers if you have the urge to do so.

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE?
then check out the link in #20 for the goods :p

-SEXNINJA!!!!

What exactly makes 64-bit better? Speed?

-Ze BFF d00d

The p3-933 chips are allready available here,if you want to drop $800.00...:)

Yeah, "Corona" is cool, but you know they're gonna change it to something ghey for the final product.

mmmmmm........corona........

damn i miss college..... :p (only 1 more month tho!!)

Phht, who cares about the AMD-760, bring on the AMD-770.

YEAH! Finally, higher FSB speeds and RAM that can run at the same speed.

AMD had the right idea in the first place with the 200mhz FSB but they were a bit early in the race.

It will prolly be a LONG time till we see some 64-bit games.. but hey we already have a SMP game (GO ID!) which is pretty amazing. Also there's that other game that said SMP will help it a little because the sound processing is in another thread besides the 3D junx.

advantage's of shugashack being your home page ;) hehe

It's friday, I don't have to work today and I got first post, and I just found out my friend's mom is outta town, today is going to be a good day, I prolly won't even have to use my AK..

[revolver]

code-named corona!?!?! thats fuckin dope as hell......i wonder when they'll make the budwieser motherboard.....

64 bit = 16 nibbles. MMMMMMMMMMMMM nibbles.... ahhhhh :)~~~~~~~~

heheh, nice one revolver

oh yeah

[revolver] ;P

FIRST POST!
