Bulldozer vs Nehalem

[shadowmaster625]

the P4 never slaughtered the athlon xp. the xp always had a price/performance advantage. It just went from huge to not quite as huge. And the reason the xp could not keep up with the P4 was because the xp did not have the 800mhz fsb. Once intel had that, there was no way the xp could compete on a performance level

MS may have launched a mixed bag product with Vista (maybe more like the kind of bag you have to take with you when you walk your dog), but they wouldn't be dumb enough (at least I'm hoping) to turn off 32-bit execution anytime soon. I don't know if you're aware of it, but Vista (32-bit version, not the 64) still runs 16-bit code. Windows 1.0 was 16-bit based and Windows Vista still supports 16-bit code - that's a long lifetime of support. Why would they dump 32-bit support in the generation immediately following the partial dumping of 16-bit? That doesn't seem plausible.

Stalker even has 16-bit code 😱

That may be just the installer that is 16bit.

BullDozer is a TOTAL REDESIGN @ 45nm. It will have SSE5 and probably much more IPC. Montreal will be MCM with more L3.

I doubt their next TOTAL REDESIGN will be that great. Look what their current "total new design" has gotten them? Nothing...

Who needs more clock speed, we'll just run more threads! MORE CORES!

Now all AMD has to do is get their 64 core CPU out and we'll have a real winner...ya know, looking past the 3kw PSU just to run the damn thing. As for OCing...don't even think about it... 😉

OCing? We'll be lucky if it hits the shelves with a speed of 10Mhz. Maybe if you disable 63 cores....

10 MHz x 64 = 6400 MHz right?

So that'd be faster than a 3.2 GHz Dual Core!

AMD WINS!

they're actually calling it Bulldozer ?

read up on an American woman named Rachel Corrie and
you'll see what i mean.

the Nehalem plant is in Israel; Rachel Corrie was killed
by a bulldozer operated by Israel, her offense being
to stand in front of the home of a Palestinian family.

Okay, Bulldozer is supposed to be an AMD development, and Nehalem is supposed to be an Intel development. I'm not sure where we got into comparing and talking about a problem which occurred in the near east with CPU architecture.
What I do know is that AMD will need a Bulldozer to scrape the slate clean and come out with a CPU architecture which is both innovative and competitive.

Imagine being able to OC each core separately, all 64 of them :lol:

Or imagine threads being created like:

Why does CPU-Z show 32 CPUs at 1.2ghz and the other 32 CPUs at 2ghz? They are all suppose to be 2.4ghz??? . o O (HELP MEEEEE!!)

 

[the yeti]

this thread is sooo funny... im savin this ****! talk about bulldozers and amd winning with 64 cores (LOL!) wow keep it commin im LMAO!

2011 still no release date for AMD Bulldozer.

 

[jf-amd]

Next quarter.

 

[jorn978]

Next quarter.

Any proof?

 

[Derbixrace]

isnt his words proof?

 

[jf-amd]

Any proof?

AMD made that statement in November of last year at an analyst meeting. You aren't going to get any better proof.

 

[jimmysmitty]

Talk about waking the dead. This was back when BD was supposed to come out a while ago, before it got delayed. ack when Phenom just barley hit. Well "delayed" isn't the right word.

More like completley changed.

So she was helping the terrorists in Israel and deserved what she got!

Just let this old thread die...
