    [Rumor (Various)] AMD R7/9 3xx / Fiji / Fury

    Taking a quick look at the GPU 2015 Benchmarks in Anandtech's bench. I may be wrong here, but if Fury X is 1.5x the performance of the 290x, it will just match the 980ti. I really hope it has the same overclocking headroom as the 980ti, or AMD could be in trouble.

    Did Intel lie when they said 64 core CPUs by ?

    P6 started with the Pentium 2 and Pentium Pro line. I believe, and may be wrong, but the MIC, is using a modified P5 core.

    Is Ivy Bridge the answer to AMD Bulldozer ?

    I'm not sure what you mean by "actual quad core architecture", but i assume you mean quad core on a single piece of silicon. I've got to ask, since Intel was the first to release a cpu with an on die gpu, does that mean the AMD is now copying them with Llano?

    Intel tick tock good for AMD?

    Atom's are not a die shrink of a P3. The P3 was an out of order microarchitecture, the atom is not. And for the record, Intel is destroying AMD in the gpu market. They have over 50% percent of the market. You say we don't need top end cpu's, which may be true, but most people don't need...

    A little confused on RAID

    I building a new rig from scratch and am a little confused on RAID. I will be using a SSD drive for my main windows and games drive. ( I haven't decided which yet. I'm looking at these: Intel X25-M, Crucial RealSSD C300, OCZ Vertex 2.) Any advice would be great. But my real dilemia is that...

    Rumour: Bulldozer 50% Faster than Core i7 and Phenom II.

    Wow. How about we wait until Bulldozer is out until we decide which is better. Right now all we have about Bulldozer is paper. I really hope Bulldozer lives up to the recent hype, if it doesn't AMD is going to be in a real bad position, with Ivy Bridge and 22nm right around the corner.

    apu vs icores

    Absolutely! Zatac will not only hit 10gigs, but it will probably get close to 1.21 jiggawatts.

    Sandy Bridge Reviews

    When are you going to give up the argument that SB is just a derivative of Nehalem. Its not. Try reading Dave Kanter's article on it over at realworldtech.com http://www.realworldtech.com/page.cfm?ArticleID=RWT091810191937 Or how about just this quote from it:

    Intel Motherboard or Asus

    It is the retail edge program, and I just ordered my cpu form them. All told the CPU was a little over $240 with tax and shipping. Still undecided on which Asus motherboard to get, If you guys have any advice, I would greatly appreciate. It doesn't have to be an Asus board.

    Intel Motherboard or Asus

    I was planning on waiting to do my new build until Sandy Bridge was released, but I have now have to opportunity to get the I7-970 for around $200. This is too good to pass up. My question is, I can also get the Intel Desktop Board DX58SO for around $170 more or should I just get the CPU...

    1090T now at 229.99. Why is it so low?

    The K8 (or sledgehammer) was 64 bit from the start. It was released in 2001 to compete with the Pentium 4.

    Nvidia to sell their own branded Geforce cards

    The 460 and 450 have been instock for about a week or two. As of right now, it appears that it will only be those 2 cards. As a couple of people have pointed out, the target audience is not most of us here, but people with a lot of money and not much knowledge.

    Intel GPU in the PS4?

    The only console that featured a x86 processor was the original XBox. And no it wasn't horrible because of the cpu. Oh yeah, I almost forgot the Infinium Labs Phantom. It was supposed to use a x86 cpu.

    AMD Reports Fourth Quarter and Annual Results

    After looking at the contract, you are right. I was confusing 6.2 (a) and assuming it applied to 6.2 (b) (7).

    AMD Reports Fourth Quarter and Annual Results

    I am not so sure about this. There is no doubt that Intel uses a ton of IP from AMD, x86-64 being one example. But from what I understand of the cross-license agreements, and I could be wrong, if AMD were to go under and be bought out by anyone or any of the IP was bought by a third party...

    AMD Reports Fourth Quarter and Annual Results

    The problem with IBM or Samsung (or really anyone buying AMD) is that most of the cross-licensing agreements between AMD and Intel do not allow for the transfer of ownership of either company. This means that IBM or Samsung would lose access to all of Intel's IP that AMD currently uses in it's...

    Nehalem: AMD's design!

    You are correct on two points. First the Core Microarchitecture is derived from the Pentium M and that the P6 is vastly different from the P5. But how in the world do you think that the Core Microarchitecture is derived from the P5 and not the P6 eludes me. The P6 brought us speculative...
