Shocking revelations in the CPU market!

[Crashman]

Thanks to several inside sources, I've learned:

1.) The Prescott will consume over 200W and require 100% of that on the 12v line, requiring a new power supply and a 200CFM fan to cool it.


2.) The Athlon 64 will be introduced at 3GHz, and have as much processing power as a 10GHz Prescott would. It will run passively cooled.

3.) The VIA C4 will consume less than 5 watts, clock at 10GHz, and do the same number of IPC as an IBM Power4 32-CPU server. This processor, when matched with the latest VIA/S3 "Chrome" graphics chip, will power gamers to over 5000FPS in Doom 3 at 1924x1400, 32xAA, AF, etc. across up to 5 monitors. This solution will be available in a new slotless nano-ITX platform which will measure only 25x25mm and can run sinkless in a cigarette case.

Wow thanks for the info carshman...

via c4 it is...i think i will have it implanted in my body...cause i wana take a via wherever i go...I hope it has no irq conflicts with my brain...

If i put my k6 in a Ferrari it would be faster than your your pentium 4 or Athlon XP :tongue:

 

[lhgpoobaa]

Allthough latest rumors state that the C3 has to be implanted as a suppository... OUCH the pins!

I also heard that intel is releasing a new budget celleron line, suitable for older motherboards
Starting at 3.0Ghz, no L1 cache, 64k L2 cache, 100mhz system bus, single channel PC100 SDRAM and lower.

Mr no integrity coward.</b>

 

[pIII_Man]

hmmm.....is it socket 370?

i heard that intel is gonna re-release the celeron 300...rumor is that it will be socket 424 and run ddrII ram...no l2 cache baby!!

If i put my k6 in a Ferrari it would be faster than your your pentium 4 or Athlon XP :tongue:

1) i thought prescott was 90nm, then why it is sot <font color=red> hot </font color=red>

2) a 3ghz athlon64 outperforms a 10ghz prescott. If that happened then i would immediately purchasedit.

3) no comment yet.

Via C4 Can do all that for $1000 I'm buying?

 

[Crashman]

Heck, it will do all that for $140!

I was going to tell all how to mount a 233 mmx chip on an nforce board and have it outperform a P4 3.2 gig, but I realized that some shmuck would try it. Is Aug 10 the new april fools day?

 

[jmecor]

Why? Aug 10. (so it's august's fools)

I think I fell asleep at "The Prescott will consume over 200W" part....

if that's true and can't be fixed before release, then amd has a big chance of regaining the crown.

OK, here's another hint. A 200 cfm fan would completely change the air in a standard 18 inch atx case more than twice per second. That kind of air movement would create enough sound for a deaf person to hear. It would probably explode a standard case. So Crashman, is this your way of saying you are really pi$$ed at all the unfounded Bsit rumours floating around this forum lately?

 

[jmecor]

LOL

If nothing else, the "passively cooled" A64 at 3GHz should have tipped everyone off that he was only kidding.

"Don't question it!!!" - Err

 

[Solstice]

Crashman is definetly pulling our legs 😉
The fact he has been on these forums for years now just means we all fall in toe and believe it. Must be nice saying totally absurd stuff and having eveyone believe it.

If I had said that I would be laughed off the forums 😉

Thanks for the laugh CRASH.

i love it...when crashman says something....people beleive it...LOL

I bet if i had started the same very post...people would have called me a dumba$$

If i put my k6 in a Ferrari it would be faster than your your pentium 4 or Athlon XP :tongue:

 

[phsstpok]

Crash, your sarcasm is getting easier to spot.

I wonder how many fanboys had to read all the way down to the C4 claim before they figured out you were just playing with us.

[TTZX]

if that's true and can't be fixed before release, then amd has a big chance of regaining the crown.

This made me laugh hard. Crashman, you're giving false hope to the AMDummies. LOL.
