    AMD Commercial?

    Thanks Michael I believe you and that the rep may have been just trying to stir up more optimism. Too much ambiguity behind the pitch letting us build up our own ideas to what they might mean. In AMD's favor. In a game of High Stakes Poker I think AMD may show Optimism but is not revealing...

    AMD Commercial?

    But wasnt everyone using PC3200 and the term before JDEC finalized it anyhow? 802.11 standards were out before finalizing them as well. IF AMD sets the stage for the standard I dont think anyone will care what JDEC has to say. Its been overlooked before. I remember MODEM 56k fights too where...

    AMD Commercial?

    That does so 250 could be a sweet spot then? What about 110nm being the sweet spot for the die shrink instead of 90nm having electron/current leakage problems? Could that be a sweet spot for AMD SOI? The way the AMD rep put it that 90nm will require something more than current SOI...

    AMD Commercial?

    Great Explanation. Would AMD change the internal multipliers to work at 250? I know thats a core change but would they? 1/2 multipliers would just be a bios update correct? For some reason I recall 1/2 multipliers before but again I have fallen out of this stuff thats why Im hoping to...

    AMD Rumors anyone else hear these.

    The 250Mhz HT-Link has been known to be coming for a while Ok so what kind of benefit could we see with this? Im thinking this will only benfit the server world but I am not technical like I used to be and just dont have time to do so. Im thinking Multi CPU performance could be increased...

    AMD Commercial?

    Remember I was dealing with a rep not a engineer so he may mistake FSB with HTT. Ok so let me get this right. If were talking HTT increases and we increase it from 200-250 since RAM is currently not fast enough there would be no benefit to the processor overall? Correct or no? If were...

    AMD Commercial?

    Maybe the FSB increase is for when AMD will move to DDR2? Since the chips beyond 4000+ are I believe 1st or 2nd quarter next year this might be the plan when DDR2 comes about. Anyone do a speed comparison of an AMD 2Ghz at 200FSB and 250FSB? I will have to look and see if there is any...

    AMD Rumors anyone else hear these.

    We had an AMD rep at the office plugging away AMD. IBM tagged along trying to get us to use IBM/AMD servers. Were mostly a HP Cough Cough Crap Service shop. Lousy presentation IBM should update their charts they quickly passed by many outdated and old Opteron graphics. IBM really needs to do...

    AMD Commercial?

    I understand AMD is going for the Jugular of Intel with a Commercial yes a Commercial during the superbowl. Its not one of those crappy gaming commercials they did a while ago about 64 bit computing. Its will only run during the superbowl. They cant afford to do commercials all the time like...

    AMD Rumors anyone else hear these.

    2 Rumors I hear floating around the office. 1- AMD will be increasing the FSB on the 4200+ and 4400+ They will be 250FSB Chips. After seeing Anands review this seems legitimate. 2-Now this one is out there. AMD will do a manufacturing run of the Athlon 64 on thier 110nm process...
