Mr. Elmer: <Nowhere have you mentioned SDRAM which is what the LX is really intended to use. SDRAM is accessed every clock, rather than...> You have very little idea what are you talking about. <2 pages open at once, minimizing page misses.> If you can understand this, I can give you a hint: THERE IS NO REAL CHANCE THAT THE NEXT CACHELINE WRITE-BACK WILL HAPPEN TO THE OPEN PAGE. Therefore, the SDRAM bursts are almost never pipelined and long initial latency brings to nothing the advantage of 1-1-1 clocking. Therefore, from the single user application standpoint, there will be no gain in performance. And there is exactly none, check out any applications benchmark on any web site.
<to feed your desperate need to find some way to bash Intel> Am I posting this on Intel thread? You seem to forget where you are, and why. THAT IS YOU WHO HAS A DESPERATE NEED IN BASHING AMD. What would be the reason for that? FUD. Relax, Intel is strong enough, and if you will not panic, hothing serious will happen in quarter or two.
<Jerry has fed you one lie after another.> Why would you be so concerned about how I feel? I know for sure that AMD has a decent product, industry and society need competitive force, AMD has strong support from serious companies like IBM and DEC, AMD increased production 3X over the quarter. And there is no AMD fault that mighty Intel started to panic, started fire sales and other dumping shooting themselfes in foot and ass. I believe that eventually AMD will have strong market position and will make me money. And I do not care about temporal difficulties, and, in particular, about some weaklings who jumped out with some stock impact. |
