Can AMD salvage QFX with an in-house chipset?

Kentsfield will be fast but it is said it will use 125W+ so 4x4 can compete power wise.

Lawl, good prediction there.

Also, AMD already has 2.6 Opterons running at 55W, so it's not amazing that the slowest iterations of 4x4 will run at the same or less than Kentsfield.
And because people who would buy that may also buy 2xxx Opteron, how could the power consumption be so much greater?

Lawl again.

Face it, around XMas you'll be drooling over my 4x4 system with Vista Business.

Ahahaha.

I guess they didn't try to get the power down as I thought they would. 55+55 < 130W.

Eat me. Oh yeah, I won't be buying because current G80s are too expensive and hot. I may wait for R600. Of course two 125W processors is more than 1 130W processor.

The fact that you just read around the precedent for 55W Opterons, I guess your butt-buddies will give you 5 stars.

Oh wait, they already did.
 
I'm wrong sometimes.
Huh....sometimes? :roll:
But, hey! What's going on with the universe? Am I dreaming? BaronBS said that he is wrong!

This is not my job
Yeah, we know.....now get back to moping those toilet floors!

Theres so many classics, I'll dig some more up later on.
Let me help, the pearl of this thread
I have a 4400+ and an FX70 at 2.7GHz will be AT LEAST 100% faster. Maybe 300% on multithreaded apps
 
Only until you finally realize that it was a half-assed solution concocted by AMD to counter C2Q that, due to it's lackluster performance, every vendor out there - including AMD - will drop support for and stop making products for.

I would be confident to wager that the one Asus board out there will probably be the ony mobo (maybe one or two more) out there for this and within the next 3-4 months this product will be sufficiently dead to the point where there will be no support for it. Come native quad core time, there will be enough changes in design to make your purchase non-upgradeable and you'll be spending yet another $4K plus on a system.

Now - I know you don't care, and I certainly don't care what you do with your money, roll it in a ball and eat it for all I care, I just hate to see people make bad purchasing decisions. Call it the customer service in me....


I guess you missed the part about me not caring what you think.
😳

Why do I have to be negative like you? I mean I don't think you can mope (from moping) a floor anyway.

Action Man must be out of tampons. He hopes that one day I will care enough to make your opinion matter.

No - if you actually READ the entire post, nubsauce, you'd notice I specifically point that fact out...
 
know my real name
Hey, Christian, you are the most stupid member that have ever visited THG. :wink:

Oh yeah, I forgot. The idiot who accused me of MOPING toilets saw the MS Blue badge I posted a few months back. That does have your real name.

Does that mean you' re toilet water?

Well, with BoDuke as a username and the crazy looking avatar you have I paid little or no attention ot your musings (rather rambilngs).

Have Action Man find the part where I ridiculed people for buying ANY NetBurst chip for the last 2 years. I may have pointed out that it seems(ed) to need 1GHz extra clockspeed to compete, butI don't think I searched out a nuclear power plant. No wait. I think I did post one silly pic like the natives.

I guess I'm really just an a-hole. Or maybe I'm conceited. No I have violence issues. No a split personality No wait, where was I? I've got to get the lines right.

Its called LV opterons moron, get over it intel has LV xeons as well.


Sorry I'm not gay but thanks for offering.

Oh yeah, I won't be buying because current G80s are too expensive and hot. I may wait for R600.

R600 will be just as hot noob.

Notice how his purchase date keeps getting pushed out further and further. Sort of like Sharidouche's bankruptcy predictions for Intel. Intersting similarities, don't you think?

They are actually called HE. Unlike those of us called SHE.

R600 is an 80nm chip which should help somewhat, unless that only works when Jack says it.

I will not buy before DX10 and Vista. I was going to slap my fresh copy of XP X64 on it but I decided to wait for Vista.

Is that OK? Or does it denote a certain amount of uncertainty ( or would that be fear, uncertainty and doubt?)

Why can't you just accept that just like people bought Intel when they were slower (?) they will buy AMD even though they are slower?

Give it up. Get a life.......And other phrases meant to slap you into reality.
 
HE = marketing name, its low voltage dipshit.

Well, Baron has already estabilished that he is not good with terms, and considering he doesn't know what the CSIP or SSIP stand for, and now HE -- it is apparent he doesn't understand acronyms either.... I wonder if he understands his ABCs

I thought I established that you can kiss my ummmm..
 
So its ok to buy AMD when they're slower and hotter but not when its intel? Hmm.

I will never buy Intel. They don't play well with others. They don't deserve anymore praise than the company that created the two-chip 4 bit microprocessor, especially since it's been reverse engineered more times than trains have been run on you.
 
HE = marketing name, its low voltage dipshit.

Then doesn't that mean its called HE? Low voltage and LV are nto exactly the same thing as one is as you said a marketing term and AMDs marketing term IS NOT LV, it's HE.

Maybe you should get your wife online and argue with her.

Like AM, I am not gay, thanks but no thanks... However, your I do not hold your sexual orientation against you, I do however, hold your ignorance and desire to remain ignorant against you..

Though you seem to ignor terms of non-endearment, maybe you can understand the disdain your continual nonsnse makes me feel for you.

You're like this stuff that just feeds on negativity.

OMG, you're the slime from GhostBusters II.

The HE opterons are hand picked and undervolted you moron just like the crappy EE and SFF EE's.
 
You're wrong.
Oh yeah....Everybody is wrong, except you BaronBS!

I'm wrong sometimes. Everyone is. This is not my job so I don't have to be right all the time and neither does anyone else.

Show me where you have been right?
I have read this entire thread, and I have seen reaaly poor argumentation from your side:
Your math is FLAWED!
Your nLogic© is FLAWED!
Your argumentation(Argumentum ad ignorantiam) is FLAWED!
Hell, even your "conclusions" are FLAWED!

Terra - Do you have a mental disorder I should beware of?

It doesn't matter because the first signs from multi-ocore game threading are showing incredible scaling on quad core. Even crappy QFX.

And in case you didn't know the last stages of speed optimization for Windows come after the last RC. Vista just happens to be "internally" based on AMD64.
