well one thing thie DEMO shows is that DAMMIT is close to showing some scores
I don't think, it's still far from being populated, and when I say populated I mean :twisted: POPULATED :twisted:*Looks in on the thread* This went to hell real fast.

Did it load windows server 2003 30% faster? 8O Also, I would still call it a demonstration, they showed it working, they just didn't demonstrate it using any benchmarking tools.... therefore, it wasn't a demonstration of the performance, rather, just demonstration that it actually works. Nothing more.

So what I think we are seeing right now are traditional marketing tactics – if you don't have a good product, you talk about your future....
Then their new-generation micro-architecture (NGMA), is, quite frankly, a quick fix on the front-side bus. I don't think that's the future of the Intel architecture. I think it's another quick fix until 2008 or later, when they're going to come out with a genuinely new architecture. So again, from a pure technology perspective, my assessment is that it's a lot of marketing – it's clever marketing, but it's not revolutionary. And calling it a new-generation microarchitecture is a little bit out of balance.
gOJDO, I am going to copy your image and save it for future reference, this is just too funny.
Well they didn't run any programs, just good ol' task manager.
wow, you must be a die hard amd fan, I like amd, but not so much at this point that I would measure the cpus to prove a point
Just one question, what processor do you have right now, and if you had 1 grand of spending money on a cpu, what would get?
just wondering, thats all
Do you think that the agena or athena (which ever is the fx) will be worthwhile for 4x4 to have a comeback, because so far, barcelona does not seem to be that great and I am considering getting an intel in the future
Ok, was starting to et worried that amd was going to fall apart from what the others are saying
And do you think it will be worthwhile for me to run a barcelona cpu on my asus crosshair? Or would I need am2+ to see a difference (mobo)
Yes, I thought we had this discussion -- it is roughly slightly over 300 mm^2 die size. 1 Core 2 Duo is 143 mm^2, so 2 are 286 mm^2.... 300 mm^2 is huge.
It is the largest Die AMD has made yet.
