you were supposed to put a T in your post 😛 j/k

well i had never read that before, so i wont call a repost.
 
Didn't we all know this, though? Anandtech (I think it was AT) did that article on how it is bottlenecked by the memory interface on Socket 775 chipsets because it was intended for single core, etc. Plus the fact that Intel Dual Core only runs at 2.8-3.2 Ghz, while the Athlon 64 dual cores are not underclocked compared to their single core bretheren and overclock like gangbusters to boot.

PLUS HT is disabled on the P4 DC, it's one possible saving grace. Oh yeah it dissipates mad wattage too.

I'm waiting for Intel to become competitive again before I consider going back to them (my 2.8C @ 3.5 was a heckuva chip, though 😉 ).
 
Douglas said. Point-to-point buses and integrated memory controllers have been prominent features of other multicore designs, such as Opteron and the Cell processor. These designs help improve performance, but Intel isn't necessarily sold on the concept because it requires a larger number of pins to deliver electricity into the processor, and that can hurt yields, he said.

I guess Intel's Point of view is: Profits Before Performance. They will never win us over with an attitude like that. Could this be the fall of Intel and the great rise of AMD?
 
Googer and Garlic (never thought I would have those two words back to back lol) take a gander at the marketcap and quarterly earnings between AMD and Intel and get back to us on the great rise of AMD. Yes, AMD is now finally making headway in the server market and yes they currently have superior cpus but their foundry limitiations (hopefully FAB36 will go online as advertised) and Intel's marketing budget (which probably larger than AMD's R&D budget) still keep the X86 industry Intel dominated.
