Hello. im a n00b in micro architecture (I do have basic understanding of Piplines, BUSes, branch predictions etc) - but would very much like to get a deeper understanding of instruction dependencies in the x86 ISA so I can use the knowledge to write a decent article about the Hammer architecture...

in a MP congiration Hammer system each processor is assigned dimms of memory to comunicate with. if a given processor asks for a memory adress that itself isn't connected to then the request goes through a HyperTransport to the processor that can comunicate with the memory module which holdes...

as mantioned above the defanition of the front side bus speed is the speed in which the CPU comunicates with the core logic, core logic being the north bridge. sence the memory controler is on die, you can think of the front side bus as being the CPU speed. i've heard from an AMD employ (on...

I've seen many books at amazon and I really cant chose! some cover more PHP with litle MySQL some the other way around... some look good and popular, but the best books i've read aren't that popular. so I need advice from some one who actually already studied PHP/MySQL I need to get a data...

True ? I used the EV7 in-order to emphasize the problem and to avoid making compression between competing products in-order to keep the debate at the technical level and unbiased.

You know the subject so I'll make it short: What's your thoughts of future CPU rating ? its obvious that the public won't go read benchmarks before they buy a CPUs ? and MHz alone should stop being considered as an absolute rating of a CPU. And its clear why: the average person would pick up a...

Thanx For all the answers. :) always thought that the number of transistors has liner relation to die size... well... I better dig up some more on CPU design and stuff :)

Here's an interview with Jerry on AMD. Intresting read. here's a quote from jerry I can't quite figure out: " The Hammer, which is an eighth-generation processor, is 103 square mm, versus our seventh generation, which is 80 square mm. [There are] 67 million transistors in the Hammer?67...

is there such a motherborad for sale (or was) ? any dual P3 DDR-SDRAM based mobos out there? thnx

<< You might want to start out with an EZboard or some other free host at first if you're really new at this, but there are several pl, cgi, dhtml free forum codes availible if your server supports the language. I use a UBB forum on my site, and it works out well, though I don't think they're...

HI! im thinking of starting my own Hardware site (just a local site - not competing with anandtech :) ) any way, I have a crew and all and I know HTML pretty well. all I need is a forum and maybe some CGI scripts for a news system. the problem - I dunnu anything about CGI I need somthing that...

Sue me? Are we talking about the same company? little old jolly Christmas green AMD? to sue? Me?

THE LOGO! ok maybe I just made this one up myself... but how about a Hammer logo contest? I bet you can do better then me!

Thank You! not only this was a great explantion - but it turns out I was sorta right! BTW could you explain exeactly what are gate and interconnect delays ? now I think I now some of this : like Gate delay has to do with how fast the gate switchs... but Im not sure. and I know nothing on...

Im having a bit of an arguement on this. my friend says: << (assuming the quality of the .18 micron processes are the same((copper etc etc)) And chip A: Tops out at 1.5ghz While chip B Tops out at 3Ghz. If you Drop them both to .13(again same process) and chip B Now tops out at 6ghz Chip A...
