    G0 or wait for Penryn

    Nehalem was demoed in a 2-socket class motherboard using Tylersburg chipset as per in IDF. So two that was highlight during the demo. The health of Nehalem which is 3 weeks old and their new Tylersburg chipset. No news on desktop in IDF

    AMD pushing SSE5!!!

    yes something like 3DNow. I love AMD to participate in any of this development initiatives but naming SSE5? tsk tsk tsk And why cant they have this backward compatible? It will be very very confusing to software developers. Likewise if Intel will release SSE5 before AMD now what?

    AMD pushing SSE5!!!

    what if Intel will release SSE5 in Nehalem processor? I gues they will have since its a new architecture..... My take SSE is already for Intel although they are open standard. AMD should name it otherwise and prove to the industry that what they develop is worthwhile. This is to avoid confusion...

    Barcelona, late and slow.

    why is AMD blaming Intel as always when they are having problems on their execution? Like this one ``If we're going to implement an asset light strategy, I don't know if we can have sole ownership of anything,'' he said when asked if Advanced Micro will continue to be the only owner of its...

    Penryn detailed benchmark vs Core2Duo

    the power is pretty impressive. Do you know what is the power rating of 3.33GHz. I believe Penryn will be launched at this speed range

    <<<<<Big AMD Price Cuts July 9th!!!!!!>>>>>

    I wonder how will Henri Richards react on this? He's so quiet lately unlike when AMD had its best time. He would always comment against Intel every often. :D

    AMD Pushes Back Barcelona Launch till August...Sept??!!

    I seriously believe that there is a problem with Barcelona. I tend to agree with Anand that AMD's excuses of not giving any information/benchmarks is because thay dont want Intel to react. Why would they give preview of their mobile processor where they should have done it with Barcelona? Last...

    Barcelona 42% faster than Xeon

    not to be bias with Intel or AMD but honestly AMD is also using flawed benchmarks in their website when comparing Core vs Athlon. I'm not sure whether someone here notice it.

    AMD Pre-announces miss of Q1 Revenue

    I've been reading most of your post Viditor and I'm almost certain that you tend to side more or bias to AMD than with Intel although making PD of owning Intel stocks doesn't change with what our views here. Anyway, I think eventhough Penryn doesn't have any architectural improvement vs C2D...

    HUGE article on Barcelona core

    Another advantage on Intel is its 45nm is socket compatible with current mobo. Although AMD quad is also socket compatible, I think they need new mobo to fully exploit its potentials like the PLL per core etc etc. Its an interesting battle come 2H. We know Penryn core's only survival is if it...

    Intel Cheating

    Haven't seen the presentation but honestly been also to AMD website lately and I can say theirs are also somewhat questionable

    Mobile Front

    bump :D

    AMD talks Barcelona

    If Penryn consumes much less power then we can say that this will hit higher clock rate at same 65W power of conroe.

    Mobile Front

    I've read that AMD got a substantial market share increase in Mobile processor front vs Intel. I'm somewhat puzzled since product per product what Intel are offering right now is pretty good as compared to Turion or other mobile derivative of AMD. How can this be? The way I see fom review, some...

    So what is AMD doing?

    In my opinion AMD got really really lazy when they had the K8 lead. Come to think of it, they have around 3 years of uncontested lead and they just thought Intel is sitting around. They must have anticipated then that Intel will release new architecture which they have design newer architecture...
