AMD: Barcelona to outperform Clovertown by 40%. WOW!!!

Morpheus is an intel fanboy.

I think his point was that here we are 10 months later and Barcelona performs no where NEAR what AMD claimed it would....

Sure, Barcelona performs just fine. All you have to do is use an imaginary 3 ghz Barcy, make an imaginary graph, and speculate using imaginary numbers to fill in the graph. Isn't that what AMD did many months ago?

HEY... it wasnt imaginary.....it was "simulated", and the graphs were based on its "estimated" performance, not imaginary. Get your facts straight.

 

[sailer]

Ah, you caught me. There I go using imaginary instead of the real estimated and simulated terms. Guess I can't be trusted either. Guess its time for me to go back to the corner and face the wall for a time out.

It would appear their simulator could use some further refinement. :lol:

 

[bfellow]

I simulated a flux capacitor and simulated a time travel to 1955!

 

[jsc]

Speaking of flux, the OP must have been subjected to high levels of bogon flux between the time between reading the article and posting here.

Or like that one season of Dallas: "It was only a dream."

 

[onestar]

Some people live their dreams, others live to dream. AMD was dreaming with those 40% "estimates".

Just making sure we don't forget about all these claims of "40% advantage across the board" "true multicore will be the real deal" "it will be a killer chip" and all those bogus simulated graphs and power point presentations from a company who is suppose to be protecting us from the evil...

Yeah, yeah. Whatever.

Just check the date of the article next time.

 

[Zorg]

This chip is gonna be a killer! When are the benchmarks coming?

"We expect across a wide variety of workloads for Barcelona to outperform Clovertown by 40 percent," Allen said. The quad-core chip also will outperform AMD's current dual-core Opterons on "floating point" mathematical calculations by a factor of 3.6 at the same clock rate, he said.

Oh I get it now, you are a TROLL.

Troll (Internet) - Wikipedia

An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who intentionally posts controversial or contrary messages in an on-line community such as an on-line discussion forum or group with the intention of baiting users into an argumentative response.

Edited to add the opening post.

 

[randomizer]

Well, it beats my 3700, and my thunderbird, so I'm happy even if it loses to Core2 by 40% like it is so far :lol:

dude are you serious??? HA HA yeah right

[gudodayn]

Too much talk and no action is getting to a lot of people.....even to faithful AMD fans.
Bring it already...........good things come to those who wait?
Don't AMD think we've waited long enough?
Or is it just a saying because the goods arent ready to be delivered?

 

[boner]

can we just get over with that until AMD doesnt release a nice chip intel will be the king

 

[randomizer]

Same as K8 vs Netburst. Netburst lasted ages with K8 as king before Core 2 came out. Only difference is Intel could afford it.

 

[Phenium 4 FX]

Morpheus is an intel fanboy.

so that's why he want to destroy the green matrix code colorized by AMD.
I can't imagine if the color of the matrix turns into blue ! hehe

 

[cyberjock]

Just 1 thing to say...

You realize that article is from January, right? And also clearly wrong, based on current Barcy performance....

HAHAHA OMG it hurts!
No wait, stop please!
OMG Hahahahahaha!
My sides OMG stop!
HAHAHAHAHA.

That was side spliting funny. Someone posts old FUD(likely linked in this forum in January too) and didn't even look at the date! The FIRST thing I always look at was the publish date. Lemme dig up that article from 2000 when Intel was spanking ass! I know Intel's future is bright!

Only fanboys get a timeout. Honest mistakes we can live with.

Trolls.....we can not.

I think this says it all. Really should get articles that are new, not almost a year old!

Returns from the corner. The cat was telling me he was hungery anyway.

Was looking at another thread about AMD's NDAs. Wonder if NDA means "Not Distributed Anymore". And I say this while being an AMD user for the past 7 years. I can only say there's been one really worthwhile AMD CPU since the FX60, and that's the AM2 5000+ Black Edition. At least that's my opinion. I really do hope the Phenom delivers both on performance and being available in the stores, its just that the last year has shaken my hopes when it comes to AMD.

 

[Major_Spittle]

Don't make fun of AMD lying on this forum, 'cuz this is the home of Baron Matrix. He is to AMD what Ronald McDonald is too McDonalds.
Would you go into McDonalds and spout off to the Fry Guy's that Burger King's Whoppers are flame broiled for nummy goodness??? Sick damn people in this world. Go get him Baron!!!!

 

[boner]

BURNT!!!

 

[KyleSTL]

I think the words that have been omitted in describing the preliminary performance of Barcelona are:

• Extrapolated
• Ideal

Estimated and simulated are also good words, they just needed to be supplemented.
