AMD chips love low latency so you will get better performance running low latency 1T at 1333 than a looser CL at 1600. Tony@OCZ did some in depth testing if you feel like googling. Basically the conclusion was 1333 at CL7 > 1600 at CL8. That being said I would still purchase 1600MHz ram and...

No it needs to be cache coherent. ccHT is the only option. Nice balanced review Kyle, thankyou. Unlike another site that shall remain unnamed

Hmm. I thought this was the AMD section.

To those that encode video 24/7. I get sick of this benchmark, yes it favours intel but honestly who spends that much time encoding video that 5 extra minutes will ruin your computing experience. The extra time AMD provides, gives me time to go and make a coffee :)

Or attempt to force software companies not to support SSE5. If Intel do want to copy them it would be a while. Isn't Nehalem taped out now? @ APOLLO, I'm not sure what's happening instruction wise now. I was told to keep an eye out for an announcement so I think SSE5 was it. As for those...

In my opinion no. Coolaler was given choice intel parts before they were released. We need an unbiased point of view. Why no system specs, why is he using benchmarks that will give AMD the worst results etc, etc.

Unfortunately I've found out it has only been announced. It won't be available until 2yrs. (Bulldozer) That should give intel enough time to copy AMD's patents :(

Or........ http://www.rttnews.com/sp/Quickfactsnew.asp?item=4 I think I will take SSE5 :)

How about SSE 5?;););)

This has been talked about for a long time now and being an instruction set it can be added at any time. I would be surprised if it would go into Barcelona now but it's certainly possible for Phenom and it also would explain the 30,000 3DMark 06 score. But still it's an assumption. And it's...

There are a few sites that are saying a 3.0ghz Phenom has cracked 30,000 3DMark06 points. http://theinquirer.net/?article=41970 I'm not too sure if this is correct. Apparently to get a score this high you would need ~21,000 cpu points. Clovertown at 5ghz gives ~7000 points. Could this be...

We should know more in the next few days. Just keep an eye out for it.

I was thinking reverse hyperthreading... possibly. I have no idea really, it's just a rumour. The instruction set is definite, it will happen, but it's just speculation on what it might be. That's why I don't really want to say where I heard it from. Just keep your eyes out for some news...

Apparently AMD are going to release some information about a new instruction set when Barcelona is officially released. So far it is just a rumour. There are 5 instructions in this new set. If this is what I think it is, then AMD will be around for a long time yet and Intel will be passing...

Yeah I heard that AMD was having the pc play the game, then grabbing it back, encoding the video, then replaying it, with the replay being very close to real time. If that was actually happening it would be unbelievable. It would probably mean that one of those cards was doing the encoding...
