Their memory is quite selective. Just recently the first thing they remembered was clock speed. Now they conveniently forget about it, but remember the number of cores and whatever other soup-of-the-day. And BTW yes, they invented AMD64...pardon, EM64T, just as Al Gore invented the Internet ;-)))))))))))))))) NNN |

Judging by INTC performance, many Intel honchos have their options underwater Some years ago (when I was a totally newbie) I read Intels FUD and was sold on Intel, long story short... I was very disappointed with the price/performance and stability, they fooled me once. Ed |

Yeah, that looks like the good thing (for consumers) is AMD's going to price back into bargain levels again. :P Could be, but I don't think it'll get as bad as it did in the past... Fastest CPU available / Price 09/20/1996 AMD K5 P-100 $82.00 CYRIX 6X86-P166 $256.00 INTEL PENTIUM - 200MHz $627.00 06/30/1997 AMD K6 PR2-233 $495.00 Cyrix 6x86-PR-200+ $103.00 Intel P-ll 266/512k(Box ) $865.00 Intel P-Pro 200Mhz-512k $1055.00 01/02/1998 AMD-K6-233 Box $250.00 CYRIX 6x86MX-PR200+ $109.00 Intel P-II 300/512 Box $790.00 10/30/1998 AMD-K62-350/100MHz $147.00 CYRIX MII-300GP/66MHz $76.00 Intel P-II 450/512 Box $635.00 03/08/1999 AMD-K62-400/100MHz OEM $174.00 CYRIX MII-333GP/83MHz $57.00 Intel P-III 500/512 Box $745.00 I seriously don't see how AMD is going to overturn a 40% performance deficit of their fastest available against the Conroe within 6 months. AM2 is just going to give more bandwidth and compatibility with DDR2. So unless they have been keeping a canine ready in the bag waiting for a moment like this to pounce forth. I did percentages for hexus's and 40% seems a bit of a stretch, maybe Intel is including synthetic benchmarks in that 40% figure? http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=4843&page=1 AMD Athlon FX-60 @ 2.8GHz vs. Intel Conroe @ 2.67GHz iTunes 6.0.1.3, Intel wins by 14.71%. Windows Media Video 9, Intel Wins by 12%. XMPEG, Intel Wins by 12%. - FPS - Games @ 1024*768 / Medium settings. Unreal Tourn 04 Bot Patch, Intel Wins by 17.11%. Quake 4, Intel Wins by 22.84%. Half Life Source, Intel Wins by 24.27%. FEAR (CPU Max, Graphics – Medium), Intel Wins by 45.60%. Whats AMD going to get out of DDR2, 5% tops? Ed Well, AMD can also go up a few speed grades, and double the cache. Also there was recently a thread about AMD's plans for a killer of FPU for Opterons - that sort of FPU may make even more sence in FX line. All that may (or may not) change the balance. Though I don't think it will happen on 90nm (except for some speed bumps), and 65nm is a few months away. But then, Conroe is not yet released, and the benchmarking was done by INTS themselves, not some independents, so the numbers may change yet. Anyway, I am glad I sold all my AMD shares when they were still above 40. My outlook - by the time AMD gets 65nm released it will drop below 30, and that will be the time to buy both the chip and the stock. NNN |

The interesting thing is that the CoreDuo benchmarks show a big jump in FP performance, that seems to be good for some games used as benchmarks. -- bill davidsen SBC/Prodigy Yorktown Heights NY data center http://newsgroups.news.prodigy.com |

I believe they scrapped that mag ~1990 - it was a very useful publication and had a bingo card for getting Data Sheets, technical notes etc., which they would send to anybody... unlike TI, who, when asked for Data Sheets, would send a qualification form. -- Rgds, George Macdonald |
