Intel regains crown

[Ycon]

I buy that tree!

 

[dvdpiddy]

Can his knife beat my Thermonuclear Slingshot? I think not!
*inserts pinky in mouth, does Dr. Evil impression*
Damn I should stick one of these babies on the moon.
*Plants tree on moon*

*looks at shinigami*

 

[shinigamiX]

For ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS!!!!

Hah. You're just jealous of my interstellar agriculturual skills. Wanna know something even more amazing? This tree grows porn DVDs and beers instead of fruit. I call it the DREAMtree.
DREAM=Dream-Reality Enhancer And Maker

A TREE THAT GROWS PORN OH MY GOD WHERE
ITS THE GARDEN OF EDEN

 

[shinigamiX]

It's on the Moon, and unfortunately, is still only a sapling. So far initial harvests have yielded only BBC's Documentary "Raging Teens" and Mineral Water, but as the tree matures, it is expected to sprout Vivid Blu-Rays and Heineken Kegs. Give it time.

Lol you put my friend with tourette's to rest =-D

 

[shinigamiX]

When the Tree is fully Mature, it will sprout beautiful naked women and gush beer from its roots. However, I must not lose sight of my original purpose. The attachment giant rubber band will go ahead. Or the attachment of a giant rubber something at least.

 

[dvdpiddy]

geez he must be high :lol:

 

[TabrisDarkPeace]

Are they high enough to say:

"Intel IA-64 / Itanium on < 65nm fans unite" ?

 

[dvdpiddy]

what?

 

[shinigamiX]

HAH! There goes your chance of getting free Tree-Porn!
Seriously though, Itanium was a missed opportunity.
Just like Xeon.
Just like P4.....
Sad.

Actually, Itanium's multi-billion dollar research should pay off. It's very, very efficient per clock and is extremely powerful. It just needs more cache...
Too bad its not x86 or somebody would overclock it lol

 

[shinigamiX]

I know. I'm talking about before that multibilliondollar R&D. Meh. That's all Irrelevant.
I'm working on a new tree that grows Cray Computers, so who needs Itanium?

Yeah, and sometime between 2008 and 2012, as 'register renaming' (and related OoO features in x86/x64) will be burning to much 'CPU real estate' space for them to continue scaling performance. By the time we see 8 - 16 cores on one die (not one socket, one actual die, of which there may be 2-4 per socket by then) Microsoft will be working on IA-64 support for Vista and BIOS's as we know them will be gone.

Just look at what IA-64 could do if moved to 65nm today, heck at 45nm or 32nm it is only more amazing. (The techdocs are all available, ppl want info fire me a PM and I can send some stuff over explaining why it will happen around 2010).

Currently the Itanium 2 is made using around the 180 - 130nm process, at 90 - 65 nm it would have the space for 4-5 times the transistors. Going from 180nm to 65nm permits around 8x the transistors to fit within the same 3 dimentional space, at a significantly higher clock speed, while using less power. (Think 8x the L2/L3 cache, that is shared between 6-8 cores).

IA-64 has a future, just people are too blind to see it and will be caught offguard..... think about it... Pentium 4 was 2-issue... Conroe is 4-issue x86/x64, IA-64 Itanium has already been 6-issue (per core) for ages... Intel are just starting to prove a point.

Frankly I think every ****ed application in the world needs to be recoded anyway,... and come IA-64 that may need to happen.

Heck, I run an Opteron 270 and acknowledged this before building my current rig (see sig).

Itanium's on 65nm would be terrifying

 

[shinigamiX]

You know what's really terrifying? GODZILLA

It proves that the AMD64 K8 is still as good or better than Conroe. So F*ck this "40% increase" crap, it's not true.

anandtech puts voodoo guy's biased blog to rest.

fear benchmarks were a little off, but other than that, conroe is still around 20% faster at 133mhz less clock speed.

My God is everyone still fighting over the Intel vs. AMD business? You guys are worse than girls, "I'mma kill you FANBOY" and such, you're fighting over computer parts!!!

I think everyone's running short a few clock cycles here, maybe AMD and Intel ought to rearchitect your brains and you might actually fast-forward your maturity level out of 2nd grade, lol.

Stop your friggin' whining, wait until the retail versions of both CPUs are launched along with the finished supporting hardware, then decide who's the shiznit.... now THAT'S PWNAGE 8)

Well it could be interpreted as either constructive or deconstructive, depending on your point of view.... clearly you've been offended by something I've said, so unless you like being called a girl with the maturity level of a second grader, then I'd say my comment was pretty deconstructive
