Yep, it only took two years of dropping the ball with Prescott to have a serious negative impact on Intel. AMD dropped the ball with rev. F and will not be a performance leader in a vast majority of markets for at least a year. That will have consequences as well.

That's not a conclusion, it's a wish. K8L is rev. H not rev. F.

On the quad core???
I didn't know there was a subject to change. Intel does not have a quad core chip, and won't have one until next year. They have 2 dual core chips on a single package, and it is incorrect to call it a "QUAD CORE Chip." One chip is still one chip, and (1+1=2), no matter how they are packaged.
As for the ATI Co-processor, I stated that they were expected to release a physics chip, and I thought AMD was interested in them for that reason. The information that ATI was expected to release a Physics Chip was on the Inquirer, and there are links that talk about ATI doing just that. It was an item which we disagreed about. I saw the links, and you did also, but you stated they did not meet your standards for what a physics chip should be.
It doesn't really matter to me what they use, or what they call it, just as long as it works to improve performance. I was talking in generalities, and you were nitpicking, IMO.
I congratulate you on being out of Intel at this time, it was a good call, and an equally good call would be for you to have been in AMD these past 2 years. It's all about timing, one goes up and the other goes down, sometimes both do the same thing. I was in Intel earlier this year at 18, but left it at 18.15 I believe, it went down and has since come back up.
If you have any more comments, feel free, I was limited to only a few posts the first time we met, so I couldn't answer a lot of your questions. I think I have a few left for today, so I will try to catch up for lost time. I hope you didn't get the impression that your overwhelming talent was intimidating me. |
