In other news, Crysis gamers dying by asphyxiation in droves as experimental nitrogen cooling system craze continues.

Sounds like a future episode of "1000 Ways to Die"....
 
I find it funny that Intel fanboys voted me down for my comment about this being a record-clockspeed article, not an Intel vs AMD article. And I own a 2500k and Core 2 E7300, in use in my two desktops.
 
I went to a trade show recently. The intel guys had excellent knowledge of their products and were great to talk to about Ivy Bridge. The AMD guys just wanted their surveys filled out about. They knew nothing.

You're correct, considering the bulldozer overclocked to 8.5 GHz would crash soon as you tried to run anything. Sandy bridge OC'd to ~5 GHz would run stable all day long. This is just for show, pure and simple.

Not likely. Earth's atmosphere is 78% nitrogen, which is an inert gas and not poisonous to humans. Unless you breathe pure nitrogen, thereby depriving yourself of oxygen, you would be fine.
 
A speed record like this is about as useful as : having rear vision mirrors on a cruise missile, tits on a bull, quoting a paper using Fudzilla as a definitive reference, or the colour of your TIM.

Speed records are the epitomy of e-peen ... trully non-functional.

Nevertheless my 0.5 petaflop organic cpu grew faintly interested ... till that fly landed on the wall a few feet away.

:)

P.S. Please don't rate me down ... its bad for my self esteem.
 
[citation][nom]dano104[/nom]Either way, he made the Guiness book... Did you?[/citation]
Did you? And why should getting into that book be "good" except for bragging rights for the ego-centric minded?

Some people might think that getting into the Guiness Book of Records is an important social-historical accomplishment. I am not one of those people but there's nothing wrong with those that value that.
 
This "feat" seems about as important as someone strapping Pratt & Whitney F-110 afterburning turbofans onto a Civic Si, lighting the burners, and getting to the the convenience store 2x as fast. Neat. Interesting even...and completely useless. Perhaps worthy of the record books, however.
 
[citation][nom]thomas1971[/nom]"I bet a Sandy Bridged air cooled, OC'd to 4.8 GHz will out perform a 8.5 GHz Bulldozer at 8.5 GHz."Actually, it won't, not even close. They both can OC to 4.8ghz, where they trade blows on many benchmarks, while everyone harps about a few benchmarks they regressed on vs Phenom II. Depending on what you use your computer for, Bulldozer may actually be a better CPU."dunno, the way its looking the second gen 22nm's from intel may break 9GHz"Why would you assume that, it may have a cold bug other problem with extreme OCing? Even if it actually did, the people that are saying "who cares" now would magically find a way to care. Go look at the comments section from the last Tom's article where Intel broke an OC record, nothing but high-fives all the way around, even though it really is useless.[/citation]

I am pretty sure a 5ghz quad core will beat up the 8 ghz bulldozer since to achive this world record they used 2 core.but oh wait we wont know cuz it cant run anything so it doesnt beat anything, its just a show off of nothing at the end.
 
Wow, people are so messed up any more. Can the FX do this, can it do that, can it do better then Intell. Blah blah blah. You do get the point do you, this guy is just having some fun, give him some cred. Another thing im so frek'n sick of the whole AMD Vs Intell CRAP. I wish another company would make CPU's and stomp the CRAP out of both, Intell has the $ so yeah, they can set the standerds, Amd is the underdog, they try. The rate that tech is going now the prices should be alot cheaper than they are. A third company might just make things a bit better, Intell would have to try harder, Amd might have a better chance, who knows. They way i see it is that AMD has there heart in the right place they try to make good CPU's, they just lack the $. Intell has the $ so they can do what they like, including over charging ther price. RICH GET RICHER, POOR STAY POOR.

Its seems like supply and demand play a role here. Let everyone stop purchasing or purchase much less of Intel's product and the price would adjust. ...but that's not very likely, eh. Some people want the most performance and price is not their key criteria. ...and so, Intel is in the position they're in. Yes, we know there's some stiff-arming the competition here too. Not cool, but a reality nonetheless.
 
Look at microsoft for example, a while back they controlled it all, so to speek. Now we have Google Chrome, Firefox, etc (now MS is starting to loose in that area) but there is competition now, so they all try to out-do each other, which means better products. I just think adding another Cpu maker would even things out a bit. But i guess reality is, is that people are afraid of intell, why would they even try to compete with such a company. But once agin im sure people thought the same about MS. Look at computer Ram, lots to choose from, and prices are decent. Another example, in my area its Comcast internet or nothing (Monopoly). Speed sucks, overpriced, poor performance...I don't know sorry for ranting lol.
 
I'd love for nVidia to get into the desktop CPU market. If they were performance-competitive I'd consider them the same as I would consider any other competitor. As it stands now Intel is the unmatched Godzilla, which is not an entirely good thing.

Thank you, some people understand. ugh. Yeah Nvidia might be an okay CPU maker.
 
[citation][nom]captaincharisma[/nom]i would just take a partnership with intel and Nvidia. just so intel will stop making there horrid GPU's[/citation]
Lol, but if they teamed up, amd would die, they(intell, Nivdia) would be a huge monopoly, and we would be forced to bow down to only them. However they might make some great products at first, untill your stuck with there rules.
 


from the looks of AMD right now intel won't have to partner with anyone to put AMD out of business. it would suck to lose the ATI GPU's though
