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

[sailer]

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.

Ok, then maybe we should add fantasized, idealized, glorified, figment of the imagination, and well, you get the idea. :lol:

 

[Dirty_Barry]

I have a feeling that Barcelona's performance will be no different than that of the current AMD chipsets.

They have been saying about it for a year now that it will be ready and they still haven't delivered the goods, come on boyos, pull your finger out.
I fear that they have lost the crown for many, many years to come.

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!!!!

Yup, that's going in the sig.

I just got through reading that article. Needless to say, it shows the lies from AMD about Barcelona for what they are. Even more, it casts a bad foretelling of what Phenom will be like. From what I've read elsewhere, AMD has thickened the SiO2 dielectric gate about 25% to control leakage at the sacrifice of overall clockability and performance. Unless and until AMD begins to make make progress on this area, the chips will suffer. I'm not an engineer, so I don't know the specifics on how it would be done, but something clearly must be done. As it is, Intel has a definite advantage in this area.

 

[Zorg]

Oh well, back to $1000 CPUs I guess.

 

[sailer]

Yes, Intel has won. For pricing, all we need to do is look back to the prices of about two years ago and there lies the future. Its sad, but really, the past year has been a glorious one for enthusiasts. I guess the best thing would be to buy the best performance chip a person can afford while it lasts. If Phenom does perform well enough, and at the moment I don't think it will, we might have a little extra time. Otherwise, I'd look to higher pricing in another six months to a year.

 

[BaronMatrix]

Yup, that's going in the sig.

Please don't. I get too much publicity.

Why me?

 

[boner]

why not? hahahahahaha

 

[yomamafor1]

Why me?

Because you're our most beloved AMD mascot :lol:

 

[onestar]

Now that we have the mascot issue resolved, all we need is some cheerleaders, ...and...oh yes...a team that could come close to winning would be nice.

[turpit]

Ahhh....so thats where all of AMDs R&D funding has been going

 

[randomizer]

He he

 

[pip_seeker]

Ahhh....so thats where all of AMDs R&D funding has been going

$20 for a teddy bear
$30 for a cheerleading out fit with pom~poms

Rooting for the underdog........ priceless.




Unless of course you enjoying over paying for CPU's?

You'll get better performance overpaying for a $50 AMD dollar teddy bear than through all of AMDs priceless false promises and public relations hype

No foot in mouth for me. I'm well aware that barcelona did not meet AMD's expectations. I still find it interesting that some members here are saying that because the arcticle is so old that it no longer is valid, well this came from an AMD exec at a time when they were trying to secure a huge loan. We should not dismiss this that easily from either company.

 

[TechnologyCoordinator]

I would buy the AMD teddy bear, where can I get one? I bet it's more energy efficient!

Interesting...
I wonder where their information comes from?

 

[runswindows95]

Randomizer, you have way too much time on your paws it seems. Dressing a teddy in AMD colors? Ever hear of the good ole American time waster: porn?

 

[randomizer]

I'm australian. Americans FTL!

Btw, all it needed was to change the hue of the clothes from blue to green and stick on the logo. It's just a slightly modified google pic.
