So does the AMD lift at 12am EST on Wednesday?

[soccerballtux]

I would think they can get away with 12:00:01AM UTC/GMT. If it's good enough for my hardware clock, should be good enough for AMD.

That would be 17:00:01 local time Tuesday for me.

I've only seen it done EST not UTC

 

[lehtv]

but for serious so the census is we don't know when the dna lifts....? So far only Ardakrel has been on topic.

fixed that for you :thumbsup:

 

[SickBeast]

IMO Bulldozer's DNA will be lifted tomorrow and will transcend into hardware heaven as AMD will realize that they castrated the thing by giving it only 4 floating point units. What were they thinking?

Oh, oops, the OP edited it.

Magic 8 ball says that the NDA will lift at midnight.

GL + GG + never a GB

 

[SickBeast]

IMO only God can lift DNA.

 

[lehtv]

The OP didn't edit it. Mod did it.

That seems appropriate given my previous post.

Must have been a moderator cause I was just trying to be clever on the verge of a breakthrough you see.

"It's [12am] [sic] somewhere......"

Essentially the DNA of Bulldozer has been "lifted" from Intel, seeing as AMD has a history of stealing Intel's ideas and reverse engineering them to work in their own designs.

So to directly answer both your OP and your grand notion, the DNA of Bulldozer has already been lifted.

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Eh ?
BD's design is a new beast, not even close to SB or any other intel CPU made.
Your DNA was contaminated.

And you are flat out wrong about stealing ideas as well.
Stop watching FSI! (FUD Scene Investigation)

 

[SickBeast]

If my DNA has become contaminated it is because of mankind's sinful ways paired with the second law of thermodynamics.

AMD does steal ideas from Intel, and vice-versa. Essentially all of their CPU DNA has been lifted, along with your own, mere mortal.

 

[lehtv]

That seems appropriate given my previous post.

I know I figured whether you/someone would notice.

 

[SickBeast]

The neffing in this thread is beyond all imagination.

 

[tweakboy]

Why do we have two threads about same thing. But to input on this thread who cares what time it comes out, whats important is the day. Yes Wed would be Oct 12th.
From what we know and read, Wed is party day @ anand to celebrate the worlds first 8 core desktop CPU's.


I still dont like AMD and ATI, cuz of the hell the x800 and CCC put me through for years, until I upgraded in Nov 2007 . Still tickin baby!!! I love my rig...

"Why do we have two threads about same thing."

tweakboy, did you really just ask that? how many threads have you started talking about your card crashing instead of just updating your first thread? how many times have replied back to back to back within minutes for every thought that popped in your head?

EDIT: holy crap you just started another thread about your gpu crashing when overclocked. lol

 

[ElFenix]

haha I see you what did there.

and yet your thread title still says EST rather than EDT :hmm:

 

[newbieclocker]

i love lamp

 

[soccerballtux]

and yet your thread title still says EST rather than EDT :hmm:

eh? I figured you meant DST.

 

[ElFenix]

eh? I figured you meant DST.

when we're in daylight time (summer) the eastern time zone is abbreviated EDT. after we fall back in november it'll be EST.

AMD does steal ideas from Intel, and vice-versa.

For compatibility reasons. When Intel "steals" from AMD it is usually more restrictive and on a different set of code set like VEX

As discussed there

so tonight at 12 am right??? its 9:54pm I will be up either way.

Actually I think the reasoning behinde why they did the modual approuch was because of a IBM research papir.

AMD loves looking at IBM more than it does at intel.
