NCC10281982B Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 lots and lots of beautiful folding power That was what I was gonna say. MMM raw core power... 200w + TEC cooling. OUCH! [offtopic] power consumption would be increadible. TECs take a ridiculs amount anyway. Ever try to set up a pelt system?

BabyBalrog Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 Sence when has INTEL used a steppign system to power down their computers? last I heard only AMD has brought that to the desktop market, yet busnessess haven't realized how much that would be for Lifespan and power consuption yet.. sign..

According to the Intel datasheet for the new 800MHz Xeons with EMT 64: On-Demand ModeThe processor provides an auxiliary mechanism that allows system software to force the processor to reduce its power consumption.

BabyBalrog Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 Except nobody has the new xeons yet :-p think about the average buisness world where people are workign on 2.8-3.2 C P4s those don't have neayly the power consuption controlls as the AMD64 systems Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

markiemrboo Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 Stability? and can't you get dual AMD64s? Is that just for Opterons? I thought you could.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 Except nobody has the new xeons yet :- 321521[/snapback] yes I do. and it looks like the P4 design will only live on in the SMP Xeon market for now. unfortunately that makes the EM64T intel chips WAY to expensive for the average user... unless intel is able to bring 64 bit instruction to the dothan (based closely off the PIII).

zigen Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 stability is more toward intels???? what the * are u smoking???? ive had more intels die on me than amd's.... and self builders, AMD outsells intel about 50 to 1 (according to bigred) stoopid intel fanboys. i support them both i juste perfer amd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you could.. 389128[/snapback] it's just dual optetrons, since dual amd 64's would work very well for servers since optetrons are made for Servers AMD outsells 50 to 1? wtf yea thats def wrong maybe for hardcore gamers but not in the entire world intel has more of a market, thats just kinda like.....accepted fact cause schools buisnees etc use intel more Edited January 6, 2005 by CoolMaster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigen Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 (edited) that is why i said for self builders...of course in the world considering all the prebuilt crapy systems intel outsells amd but in the world of self built computers, amd wins Edited January 6, 2005 by zigen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
