bigred Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 you'll get your hybrid of the 2 with the P4 F chips. they're a P4 prescott which has basically had the 64 bit extensions of the athlon 64 attached. it's only weakness is the lack of onboard memory controller. then again you're gonna get hyper threading on the AMD's by christmas dual core opterons for those of us who toughed out the early days of the 940 chip!

Iggy Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Yeah, I'm interested to see what'll happen when you bench a Dual 2-core Opteron w/AMD's hyperthreading equivalent against Intels 64-bit Xeons. That'll be fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_target Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Everywhere I turn, I can't see a reason for my next rig to be an Intel. Maybe they'll get it together next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurosen Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Bigred is supposed to be getting a 64 bit chip from intel real soon (he made a thread about it a few days ago)... I'm eager to see the results... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze_Badger Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 amd's are made in 3rd world countries, so they are evil. So, they're evil for giving people in other countries opportunities at jobs in Malaysia, which can help them(the workers) to get a small wage that goes a bit to help support their families? Wow... then how evil are companies such as Radio-Flyer and various jean companies for opening up factories in China to allow jobs there? n00b Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayMeow Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 KB, I agree with you. I can't stand when people complain about companies sending work to third-world countries, and how they don't make as much money, there's child labor, etc etc. It seems people like to falsely compare it to the US. If the people in the countries could find better jobs, then they wouldn't work for US companies, yet they continute to do so, despite what some people think are low wages. To them, it's more than they're used to making. It's great for both sides really. The corporations get to spend less money on labor, and the workers make more money than if they worked for a local company. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Plus its not like the product sucks. I'm sure all the workers there cherish their jobs and sure as hell dont want to get fired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthony Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 you can not compare like that, they wiill needed to be benched against eachother and you can not say somethings gona be as good as someting, you mean a certain chip is as good/better/worse 1 chip does not represent the entire company.

You make it sound like they work 8 hours for a decent wage and go home smiling. And its the same for other non-american companies to there because there government has no laws to protect any of them. Its not like hey the american companies are offering us benifits so lets all work for them. They work for whoevers there because not matter where they work the conditions and pay is the same.
