nav3: Your large pic screws up the thread formatting. Please link it instead of inlining.

[quote]Sorry for nitpicking, but this should really only be "a power of two" rather than "an even power of two" - at least I was under the impression that 32 (=2^5) bit wide registers weren't really all that uncommon. While I can't speak for him,…

[quote]Interesting topic! So what about the Itanium and its uber-balls floating point performance? Itanium, and future IA64 processors in general, will excel at FP code in general for a number of reasons. 1. 128 dedicated hardware registers fo…

All other things equal, 64bit processors are slower than 32bit because code size increases; you can fit less code into chip caches, and memory requirements double. However, all other things are not typically equal -- 64bit processors are usually …

[quote]BTW, is the Register fairly reliable? No.

[quote]which remember Apple can buy at the end of the deal Has this been proven, or is this just more MOSR/TheRegister **CONFIRMED** horseshit?

By the way, maybe an admin or mod can answer this, but why do I have so much space in between my name and my Junior Member designation?

Well, really only 1/4 to 1/3 of that is for the CPU's themselves. The rest is to account for things like multiple SCSI hard drives at 10K or 15K rpm; tens of gigabytes of RAM; an AGP Pro50 or Pro110 graphics card; multiple optical drives; and bas…

[quote]the Alpha, POWER and SPARC all kick the snot out of the Itanium...floating point Newest Alphas? Most likely. POWER4? Yes. SPARC? <snicker> Got uncontested proof? Because I call bullshit. SPARC sucks in FP compared to IA64…

DKE is a moron. Anyone who quotes him or links to anything he wrote as evidence for their side instantly loses absolutely every shred of credibility or believability in any argument they put forth. Do a search for him in ArsTechnica's Battlefront…

There's also the PIII-S, available at 1.4GHz; with a 1.53GHz version coming later this year, allegedly.

Oh, and the idea of Apple buying AMD is an insult to the intelligence of mayonnaise. [ 02-28-2002: Message edited by: TheAlmightyBabaramm ]

[quote]A P3 at 4GHz would most likely out perform a P4 at the same 4GHz by 50%. I doubt it. Without more memory and FSB bandwidth, a PIII would likely be spinning its wheels long before even 3GHz, much less 4GHz. As multipliers increase, bandwidt…

[quote]How can a 64 bit chip be stuck at 1.5Gig 'o RAM? Trivially simple to do. Simply don't design the chipset to allow for more.

[quote]Athlon price: $2200. more or less (prices seem to be dropping every day on Athlons) You can build a dual-Athlon MP 1900+ (1.6GHz) for considerably less than $2200 depending on how you equip it. Maybe less than $1200 if it's just a dedicate…

[quote]The addition of yet more instructions is also really annoying I've read the article and the link that talks about the instructions and I think that this is simply the SSE2 set that's been in the P7 core since its inception. [quote]Inte…

Hyperthreading is already enabled on .13um Intel Xeons. (1.8GHz/512K, 2.0GHz 512K, 2.2GHz/512K). All you need to take advantage of it are multithreaded programs and a motherboard that supports it, which would be just about any i860 chipset board tha…

I think that article is talking about the 750FX, which is a 750(G3) derivative. As to Moore's "law", he originally only guessed that it would continue through 1975. He didn't say anything after that, but due to process shrinks and microarchitectu…

Doing so, assuming PC sales remain constant and/or don't rise, would entail more than doubling their sales. I'm not that optimistic.

Those benches are full of shit. Hammer isn't even sampling yet.
