Soo my dad was telling me how his Premiere says he has 8 processors

Look guys ,, HT pretty much means extra 4 cores , threads call it what you want when used with a 64 bit HT app ..


Games might not care about the 4 extra threads which act as cores with right app but not games.

Photoshop
Premiere
Sony Vegas
Sonar X1c Producer

For these apps its simply 8 core vs the bulldozer 8 core. :awe: :) random thoughts sorry!!!,,

Why not stop saying my processor has X cores and start saying my processor can process X threads instead.

Oh wait because the 8 thread bulldozer gets flattened by its 4 thread and 6 thread rivals the 2500k and phenom II X6 which makes no sense. Back to the cores/modules/HT ambiguity :)

The cores and threads are completely dependant on the color of the motherboard's PCB. Intel simply uses the better colors.

I guess that would make the Ultrasparc T4 a 64-core chip, eh?

I never said it looked good. But you have to think of those asthetics back in the day, things are much more refined now ;) I had one of those boards and it was stable as a rock.

In other words, Bulldozer gets Bulldozed by the Phenom and 2500k [ok that was bad I admit it].

Let's be realistic! 2 fast cores + HT > 8 slow cores.

The thread for using your CPU as a 2nd heater in your house is this way --------> Click.

AMD should have released their 'special edition' 1-module dual core 8.4ghz World Record FX-2150. Would have been better than MOAR cores models.

ZOMG, Intel Atom with HT is like 4 core cpu. Who needs Sandybridge?





Intel Sandybridge 4 core with HT is on average ~5 (fastest x86) cores, AMD Bulldozer CMT is on average ~6.4 (meh) cores.

Yep, polluting the forums with more useless drivel. Just like in that other thread:

Go for the gold, Go for 5Ghz , raise voltage to 1.42v like the chap said.....

Heck go higher,, try to 5.5Ghz @ 1.5v oh but you need extreme cooling to do this, like WC or a loud powerful HSF,,, gl

AMD Insider here.

Iam sorry but I cannot hold my silence any more.

Bulldozer was the biggest and most successful piece of trolling humanity has ever witnessed. It was part of a bet b/w the shareholders and the engineers to make a cpu with more cores, GHz slower.

They even had a spambot called Jfamd.

This thread is just asking for problems, and I have already given 2 infractions. I am locking this, as its only attracting insults.
