Ya your correct but the roadmaps keep getting pushed ahead I believe that Amd well have Quads late 2006 maybe earlier.
Question how many apps. are written for dual core right now today . Quad core 8 core lol get real people I gonna run out and buy a Cpu that is useless at the moment.
How long has Amd 64 been out how many apps. on the desktop can use this .
Its nice to brag about but I won't pay for anthing that I can't get full use out of right now today.
None that think logicly would because by the time you can make use of it you well need to upgrade anyway. X2 is a good thing right now but quads on the desktop right now get real.

You know, people seem to post that date a lot here, but I don't see why. All the sites I read say 2007 at the earliest.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/04/26/amd_ruiz_revelations/
"AMD will sample quad-core processors in 2007, company CEO Hector 'Money for Nothing' Ruiz has said."

http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1558,1826663,00.asp
"(June 10, 2005) Server roadmaps shown by company executives confirmed that the company's Opteron processor will move to a quad-core architecture beginning in 2007, together with the ability to scale to 32 processors and above. Similar roadmaps presented for the company's desktop processor roadmap lacked the quad-core disclosure, however, which could indicate that quad-core, AMD-based PCs will arrive in 2008 or later."

Ah, thanks for the link. At this point I would count this as mere rumor. It would be an interesting development if true, but I'm not holding my breath. :)

Q&A: THE PENTIUM FDIV BUG
Q: How many Pentium designers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: 1.99904274017, but that's close enough for non-technical people.

Q: What do you get when you cross a Pentium PC with a research grant?
A: A mad scientist.

Q: What's another name for the "Intel Inside" sticker they put on
Pentiums?
A: The warning label.

Q: What do you call a series of FDIV instructions on a Pentium?
A: Successive approximations.

Q: Complete the following word analogy: Add is to Subtract as Multiply
is to:
1) Divide
2) ROUND
3) RANDOM
4) On a Pentium, all of the above
A: Number 4.

Q: What algorithm did Intel use in the Pentium's floating point divider?
A: "Life is like a box of chocolates." (Source: F. Gump of Intel)

Q: Why didn't Intel call the Pentium the 586?
A: Because they added 486 and 100 on the first Pentium and got 585.999983605.

Q: According to Intel, the Pentium conforms to the IEEE standards 754 and 854 for floating point arithmetic. If you fly in aircraft designed using a Pentium, what is the correct pronunciation of "IEEE"?
A: Aaaaaaaiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeee!

If AMD delivers Quad Core @ even 2.4+ghz that's all they need. Granted some single thread apps will not gain quite as much speed (2.4ghz is already very fast ) Having the ability to assign EACH core a different task is clearly better..

Gaming, ripping a DVD, winrar, rendering a video..

I'll be willing to give a slight amount of core speed to GAIN 3 additional useful cores..

Zinn2b is an extreme Intel Fan boy . Who does cause some problems with people who have know foresite . The first time I read his post I was a little shocked at what he posted but as time goes bye I have changed my opion of him as his predictions (he says research) is proving to be right on the money.

Since than you posted Adul are you a Moslim, got any bombs. I think you should be checked out. Since you seldom post anything but personnel insults I think you should Check out
Your account is locked. Goodbye Anandtech moderator.

I not real sure I like this ? not a statement.
Since than you posted Adul are you a Moslim, got any bombs.
Given the time that he asked this ? 9/11 was recent history so I am kinda torn on this but being American I believe at the time it was a legit question(my opion only )
If this goes to court this well be very bad for Amandtech in the USA opion polls. This initself is know big deal but the next qoute is a false statement by the monitor
Since you seldom post anything but personnel insults I think you should Check out
I went back and read his post and he makes know personnel attacks and the 1 above was in the form of a question . I believe it was a fair question .
Its is going to be interesting no matter what Anandtech is going to get bloodied know matter what the outcome is.
Here's a ? I am to lazy to check out is Anandtech an american based hardware site or is it other country.
At any rate at the other forum Zinn is really picking up support for his or her position

You think the comment in bold above which is ignorant, hillbilly, arrogant, condescending tripe is a "legitimate" question. As an American who had a Muslim stepfather (and yes I am an "Irish" American" and who has visited Pakistan and Egypt, I find that comment alone to be a bannable offense.

Since than you posted Adul are you a Moslim, got any bombs. I think you should be checked out. Since you seldom post anything but personnel insults I think you should Check out
Are you kidding me? Have you any knowledge of the millions of peaceful loving Muslims who were appalled by 911? Do you even know anything about Islam? It is like a Muslim asking you or I (believing we were American) if we weighed 500 pounds, smoked crack, and worshipped the devil. This whole thread has moved to the ridiculous. I hope it is locked soon.

And no I am not "Muslim"

What site does he hang out so I can meet the idiots head on...I will were my anti IQ drain suit so their stupidity does not effect me....

I am starting a new campaign against trolls...All of them will be on my buddy list and I will continue to PM then and harass them where ever they go...i will ofcourse attack them when they lie and spread FUD, but that shouldn't be that hard to find...

But I would love to do this to their site...lead me to HE11....

Keep an open mind. And you all seem to assume that AMD will sit on it's arse and be creamed come Q1.

1. X2's will be higher then 2.4 Ghz (2.8+ by then)
2 Quad cores are due for this time
3. 3Ghz for single core opterons/64's by Q1
4. Taylor.

PPL go "Yonah has a crap memory controller etc" well thats tough. If a chip doesnt have a great FBS who's fault is that ? AMD's ?.
Click to expand...

Not 1 word was mentioned about Yonah memory controller single core present day Dothan is what I was referring to.( with this clock for clock Amd'S equal)
I not even going to wave the Yonah Cpu flag because you well just come back and say no 64 bit . Again Right now today who cares about 64 bit.
Everyone has to agree 06 is going to be speical! Apple goes Intel BIG BIG BIG win for intel . My ? is well I be able get the mac operating system for my PC I hope so.
Intel new processor comes out the real dual core chip.
Amd 64 M2 with DDR2
ATi Cross fire (now ) ATI R600
Yes the future flame wars look like there going to be ( Atomic Wars)

LAST but not least the PPU which should make all gaming PC's equal hardware for hardware no matter what Cpu is in the system

If apple and Intel can play nice together and Steve Jobs lets there operating system run on all x86 platforms . Microsoft well find out that they are not well liked at all . And apple making a O/S that well run best with an Intel cpu or platform . Ya this is bigger than big
It was microsoft that told intel that they wouldn't make an operating system for Itanic because 64 bit was not needed on the desktop. while in the background they were working with amd to bring a broken 64bit system to the market.
If you know pc history than you know that Bill Gates stole windows from Apple . So if you don't see the big picture here to bad . I have read that apple well bring a O/S forward for the Itanic for desktop use ya it is a big deal.( 2008)
Apple does know how to create very good O/S.

Steve Jobs is the Best but he was to honest in business the devil always wins cause he Lies Cheats And Steals ( Bill Gates) Ok billy sue me.

In the end though good always wins out over evil The end is near !!!!!!!

"Apple does know how to create very good O/S."

Yup so does microsoft on X-box. I Have yet to see the X-box blue screen.
When you have a closed controlled platform its a heck of a lot easier to control the OS reaction. But then my windows XP hasnt blue screened yet. And any of the servers I managed havent blue screened in years except when there was a hardware failure like a CPU, Ram or Hard drive.

If apple ports to x86 and becomes as multi vendor like Microsoft we will see just how good of an OS kernal it really is. But Steve Jobs is too much of a pvssy to do that.
