can some one say, "Ping spam the THG servers?" If I had a mind, and I knew the bandwidth was availble, I'd do it myself. They deserve something bad to happen for this B.S.

What's unbelievable is they don't have ICMP firewalled.

All the other tech websites see THG as a joke. He ruined his website and reputation when he sold out.

Amen.

Did anyone notice when both the amd and intel systems bottomed out in temps and cpu usage between 4:00 and 5:00 yesterday?

This was accompanied by spikes in network activity as well, yet there was no mention of it in the sixth update.

Weird...

I noticed, i believe that their streaming server crashed (Intel system).
Or something that involves Intel failing or their own mistake.
Maybe those are reasons for them to NOT to mention it..

They are also manually changing priorities, which is not good since program itself should request that.
There is also new stats about loadbalance, it counts 35+40=100.. :D

check this one

[edit]
I would like to add that CPU usage is jumping up and down for both, but for AMD it seems to make some calculation errors about what it takes to make a 100% :D

Good stuff opteron...

I think really what we are seeing here is THG was literally trynig to perpetrate a fraud against us but between many here and at countless other sites (main topic everywhere) we have exposed them...i think the damage they did to themselves will be measured severely later on.....

It is so clear I am alomost shocked that someone would have the balls to try it, and let us watch...

You said it...IDIOTS...How do you say that in german????


I have almost 72 hours of data that I am about to analize....I personally think since I cant see a pattern yet that they may in fact be manually changing priorities...It seems rather odd what it does...what it sacrifices, when, how long, and then goes to what???

somthing is not working right though...I am not seeing any moment in the last svereal refreshes on all apps and farcry is not moving much at all...Cpu charts dont show anything but the rate at which the amd usually growing per 10 minnutes is not happening...

Confirmed CD encoding (though it is a slow mover anyway), winrar and Farcry are not moving and have no changed by one number for the last 21 minutes for sure and I think perhaps about 10 minutes before that...interesting how Toms can have them at 100% cpu load....

Someone taught me how to say "dumb jackass" auf Deutsch, but sadly I can't remember how to spell it. :(

That would come in handy right about now for a few people, though... ;)

OK no network connection for last hour...it may be down...Did it about 3 hours and I saw a big jump in numbers (probably when it came back on and posetd scores) after it...see charts on the network activity...

I have never seen someone have such trouble with everything they touch....

NO network activity is the answer likely..probably went down while it was partially reporting....100% cpu usage tells me it is working....

THG is probably doing this so I can't get my data correctly....I am flattering myself, but this does make my analysis of this particular data a bit difficult.....AMD has been stuck on 31fps for the last hour....

I can tell you one thing though...priorities have changed again....

Divx has been stuck on 3500 minutes now for 2 hours and 30 minutes....normal movement in the past 24 hours has been about 25 minutes complete per hour...It should have moved about 60-70 minutes....It is thoring its weight at fps which have hel;d at 36 for sometime...

CD encoding is running normal rate and winrar was running normal rate for AMD until network went down...

lol duvie you really are smoking some hashish down there ain't ya !!!

you believe tom tried to create a fraud ??? why would he do that ??? all of his advertising dollars are mostly coming from AMD.

and why the heck would he allow the intel rigs to have so many issues ??? that scenario does not square with reality, except, perhaps, amd fanboy dreams.

now get over yourself and leave this thread if you are going to keep perpetuating bullcrap !!!

Give us some numbers please, or STFU !

Thats Intel for you, it's unstable, it uses so much power that MB's almost catch on fire.

Why is everyone so interested in this thread. Let it die in a fire along with THG. I only trust Anandtech to be acurate at testing stuff. THG suck.

I won't go that far, THG does really nice LCD moniter reviews as well as some other things, just ignore the stuff about CPUs and enjoy the rest.

the AMD system is not moving. there is an error on the screen. the farcry benchmark is moving but the report does not change. I think the warning on the screen is an error in tom's network reporting program so the live feed statistics for the AMD system is not updating.

There is a new Stress Test CPU Load Page.

Stress Test Load

Intel System-----
DivX: 28.4%
Farcry: 21.5%
Lame Encoder: 25.8%
WinRAR: 21.9%
Load CPU1: 99.6%
Load CPU2: 98.4%
Load CPU3: 99.0%
Load CPU4: 99.5%

AMD System-----
DivX: 0.0%
Farcry: 43.3%
Lame Encoder: 0.0%
WinRAR: 0.0%
Load CPU1: 99.9%
Load CPU2: 100.0%

I'm guessing that when the Intel isn't using each CPU at 100%, it may mean there isn't the data available for the thread to work on. You can imagine the amount of harddrive data is being moved here and there. It shows the Intel has far greater grunt but can be hindred with resource availability.

As you can see the Intel is doing a fair job at the threads by giving near to 1/4 of the CPU time to the four threads.

The AMD in the above scores is somehow having trouble and this maybe due the AMD X2 having a software-crash, but still running half the CPU. At the time of the snap shotting of these values, there was a dialogbox over the Farcry screen which looked like an error report/message.

It would have been fair if their test utilities would halt the other machine when there was a problem, so as to produce fair results. This same case happed at the start fo the tests before THG setup the Intel system properly that crashed a few times. The AMD system was allowed to continue scoring whilst the Intel was being repaired.

You are the uber-genius if you can explain how 43.3% in farcry in any way relates to the
99.9% and 100% loads on the amd core.

Citing these statistics as proof of ANYTHING is an exercise in foolishness.
