Can you elaborate? I don't understand your question.

Current bobcat cores do not have all of the crates that a server customer needs, like ecc, but there is opportunity to use future low power cores as well.

This is a server-focused technology, it is not really applicable to desktops.

Exactly. I actually have this launch prediction: AMD will release the chip AMD will provide benchmarks Others will run benchmarks Everyone will have their own biased view of the processor Fanboys will always fight each other, they will never agree Six months from now (and beyond) the...

Probably about 50 frames :rolleyes:

Couldn't agree more. I am not an overclocker so I don't really understand that market. As a matter of fact, why should we even bother to compare it to an i7 980 or 990? Nobody really buys those parts either. I would love a mainstream shoot out that compares what people really buy in ways...

yeah, it was all their work not mine. I'd congratulate them but they are off doing press stuff today, my row is quiet for once. Well, they were actual parts, not some kind of special part for the demo only. I would be willing to bet, that because fabs are continually tweaking recipes on a...

you would be correct

Yes to him being wrong.

that would be yes

Yes, one date is right. But that means that 4,374,658,823 posts stating that they know the date have to be wrong. Based on that, you are best off to not believe any of the "I have it on good information" threads. After all, how many people said it was today? People are getting too caught up...

There are a million dates floating around. All from "reliable" sources. They can't all be true.

The problem with all of those technologies is that they required you change media/form factor. Bulldozer runs everything that x86 runs. And, your list really should have included itanium. This will not happen.

We have been working with all of the compiler companies for quite some time. But that is precisely why I tell people not to pay attention to benchmarks that float around the web. Most are probably fake, those that are real are probably not representative.

Or, it's corporate policy. Letting info out before launch only stalls sales. And OEMs don't like that because their supply chains are long. They placed PO's last month for the processors that they are buying today for desktops that they will build next month that will be sold to the channel in...
