Where's the pencil trick go for clawhammer? :Q

 

[Insane3D]

Wow...look at the pin count on the Sledgehammer! :Q:Q

Good stuff NFS4...like usual!

Damn that whole platform looks exciting..especially the AGP tunnel..

 

[Insane3D]

754-pin :Q

Better hope ya dont bend one."

Bah...how about the 940 of the Sledgehammer! :Q:Q

 

[Hender]

Dude, I thought Pentium Pros were big, heavy chips.

They ain't got NOTHING on these bad boys.

 

[Budman]

Big , lots of pins,sound like it will be harder to produce.

That sounds expensive to me.

That CPU looks like it's running remarkably well considering how little time it had to be developed. Hopefully AMD can iron out the remaining bugs and it should be a killer. Also I liked that bouncing ball demo which showed that transparent 32 bit/64 bit support is working well.

I love this guerilla marketing AMD's putting on

 

[AGodspeed]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And a 940-pin SledgeHammer!!! :Q

[Martin]

WOW.


So many pics.....so many details..........Anand rules!

No other site has given so much info!


I actually enjoyed these pics more than those pics I got off the newsgroups. Does that make me a geek? I think it does !!

 

[ST4RCUTTER]

Damnit guys, give me some room to see...move over! I keep getting "Cannot find server..."

Share the bandwidth.

edit: AWESOME!

 

[Zlash]

Very nice

 

[Piano Man]

Well, I only reserve this comment for special occassions, but this is definately one. That Hammer is just about as tight as the G-String I'm wearing right now.

 

[Zlash]

TMI

 

[LanEvoVI]

:Q Exciting stuff...can't wait for Q4 of this year to see these bad boys in action...

 

[Insane3D]

Ok..so know that we have seen this...can we answer that stupid question that has been floating around...you know...


"Is the end near for AMD?"


Hmmmmm....I would say...

NO!
