AMD and Intel General Discussion (not for getting help)

[Upendra09]

hahhaahaha good joke

thuban, crushing the i7 maybe, not by much if it does, as far as i know it has no new micro arch just more cores, won't really help

Well I'm not 100% certain on the performance levels of these CPUs yet but as applications have become more and more threaded, the X6's extra native cores are going to provide that 50% boost in threaded apps where hyperthreading only offers a 40% increase. Really, really, I think that AMD has to come up with their own version of hyperthreading because that's been the big thorn in their side on the high end for the last year or so. I think they'll eventually pull off outperforming Intel. They faced an equally bad situation against nVidia with the HD 2900 XT vs. 8800 GTS and look where ATi is now, regardless of the fact that nVidia is bigger and had more market share to earn profits. If anyone can pull it off, AMD would be the ones I'd bet on.

nah better microarch is just as good

IMNSHO, the greatest advantage Intel chips have, is the way progs are optimized for them.

 

[Avro Arrow]

In everyone's opinion and scientific knowledge, what makes a Central Processing Unit better,faster, more efficient, and makes programs run faster at high settings and processing strings?

Hyperthreading and turbo boost have been the key to Intel's performance and low power draw. I think that AMD's halfway there because apparently their power boost is going to be even more effective than Intel's but until they have hyperthreading of their own, they'll always need more cores and higher voltages so Intel will always have the power/performance ratio advantage. Fortunately for AMD, they are much better at pricing their parts. That's why they're not dead yet.

I agree but I don't think AMD has the $$$ behind it to be able to improve their microach until Bulldozer. Noone really knows what will happen there.

 

[Upendra09]

true, especially after the 5xxx cards

 

[Upendra09]

k

working on it

 

[Avro Arrow]

I still think an atomic CPU will maul both Intel and AMD.

Maybe VIA should make one!

 

[Upendra09]

maybe i should patent mine

 

[Avro Arrow]

First, one has to figure the hypothesys of the atomic CPU. If you do, may I ask that you could be a first engineer for warlord and I's semiconductor company?

What are you going to call it? Wardog Semiconductor?

 

[Upendra09]

Underdog

 

[Upendra09]

nahhhh

more along the lines of Radioactive Semis

😀

 

[Upendra09]

Flagship: Plutonium

it will blow your brains away, LITERALLY!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Upendra09]

woah trying to get my secrets dogman???????

fool, u will nvr get me alive

*scurries away into dark alleys*

 

[Upendra09]

fab location: Area 51 😗

 

[Upendra09]

i know me too

 

[Avro Arrow]

Let me guess, not Radeon, but Radiation?

 

[Upendra09]

oh a smart one,
you wanna join my company?????????

 

[Reynod]

The last few pages of this thread serve no useful function whatsoever, and allude to no great insight or fact.

Keep going though ... your a constant source of amusement to engineers.

Kinda like cartoons ...

 

[Upendra09]

really???? thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Avro Arrow]

oh a smart one,
you wanna join my company?????????

Sure why not?

cool, now, we mainly use plutonium but now uranium is our new core, cores i should say, MCm is old

we don't make chezburgers

we go totally natural and fuse cores together using our special core machine that compresses two P4s using a hammer

only a select few will recognize this references, random and couple others

This will enable the use of quantum mechanics in a controlled creation/destruction algorithm that will allow the current to jump across the chip instantaneously and fully processed.
