Inside the Performance and Multi-Core Chip Labs

[JavaCrammer]

Wait, wait... Hold up one second. 80 cores. WHY R THIS NAWT AVAILIBUL TO ME?! Fuck the core i7 and xeon, I want this baby! 80 cores?!

[FSFchannel]

o noes, 4 brains

[Xigmatek]

Soon you'll have 1 Tara flop on a normal CPU!

Awesome!

Just Awesome!

I fucking hate the way this guy talks about single core CPU's as if they're ohh sooo out of date and primitive. I used a Pentium IV till this January and it ran just about anything fine. I understand that multi-core is the way forward, but honestly, I'll start caring about 8 core chips once they start writing software that justifies the need.

[vannabie]

I agree. Actually alot of applications are slower on multi core cpus than on the fastest single core pentiums. As long as most have only one task/process running it doesn't help much. Maybe one day operating systems can do some trick to share performance of the multiple cores.

[pamew]

Precisely! Plus all multicore processors are 64 bit chips, and thus far 64 bit software releases have been minimal, and finding drivers for 64 windows is a freaking nightmare.

Don't get me wrong, I like my athlon, it's a good chip, but for the moment it seems to be about ram, ram, and video buffer memory all the way for the latest games/software.

yeh I have a Celeron D (Celeron D's are just as good as P4's just less features) it's a 356 model 3.33Ghz.

I can get it up to 3.75Ghz, no fan upgrades, but I saw online someone got it up to 4.8Ghz on a 200FSB mobo.

mine is only a 166FSB mobo.

but I play Dawn Of War, INCLUDING the new Dawn Of War II.

I also play Call Of Duty on it, it does fine, like 30-35FPS...

at very worst like 15FPS.

[pamew]

Celeron D's are GREAT at overclocking, and yeah, you can get insane clock speeds. Funny enough once the clock speed rises to about 4ghz a lot of programs will misidentify the chip as a Pentium 4. Great processors, btw what vid card do you have? I'd be willing to bet that that is what's to blaim for low frame rates. a 3.33ghz chip should mash its way through COD: world at war.

[AmH032uTuBe]

My GPU is great,

it's a Sapphire HD 2600XT (512MB GDDR3), flipping fast, 800MHz clock as standard, and 700MHz memory clock as standard.

but I do have 1.5 GB of RAM, but the 512MB stick is only 266MHz which also has to bring down the 1GB stick to 266MHz too, so I heard from experts is RAM, so I'm ordering 2x 2GB 667MHz Crucial RAM, with heatspreaders and LED's :D

[pamew]

Sounds cool :) you should also see an improvement in stability and max clock speeds, and I suggest you try out the new Windows 7 release candidate. Much better memory management and I saw an improvement of about 25% in framerates over vista :) Hope all your stuff turns up, I've been waiting a month for my second gs250 :\

[Kalywonkas]

Exactly, most games and programs don't even utilize multi-threading, they'll only use one core, the most people would need at the moment is dual core, one for running background prgrams and one for your main program, E.G Virus scanner and windows exploreer in the background and crysis running in the foreground. A high clock rate dual core is better than a low clock rate Corei7 for more people.

[Ormaaj]

Then again we do have things like the nvidia cuda api, and the gpu client for folding@home. You could be doing 200 things in parallel right now. :)

[Ormaaj]

What are you going to do with 80 cores? Most of the software you use can't even make use of 4. Unless you are doing scientific computing, that would be utterly useless to you, at least until software and compilers are written with parallelization in mind.

Even if you run a system like gentoo as I do in which everything is custom compiled, about the only thing which uses all of my 8 cores is the compiler itself.

[agdgdgwngo]

lol when he picked up the 80 core chip, I think if it was me that chip would have found its way into my pocket.

[rhodri24]

and u wud hav found a boot up ur ass

[atlaschooty]

wow...

[staticxmako]

intel sucks

[IMakeOrWatchVideos]

why do you think that?

[staticxmako]

welll maybe when the fucking fag goes

well WE keyword here is WE! figured out how to get more brains aka cores on to one dye

not exact words

BUT AMD WAS THE FIRST TO MAKE A FUCKING DUAL CORE THEY HAD A SHIT ASS PENT D WICH IS THE WORST ATTEMPT AT DUAL CORE EVER

THEN THEY THOUGHT THEY MADE A QUAD CORE NO AMD DID

THEN THEY STOLE THAT FROM AMD TOO

JUST LIKE 45NM

L3

AND A HOLE SHIT LOAD MORE!

[IMakeOrWatchVideos]

does not matter who does it first but who does it best. this is channelintel and they going to say good about intel no matter what. so if this makes you mad than stop watching there videos. its like hitting your self on your head.

use less bad words and hold off the caps and find neutral ground to express yourself. like a processor review site.

[bigdima3]

staticxmako do u work for intel or amd, , i bet u dont, so stfu,,

[GIPrice1313]

How could Intel steal 45nm from AMD if AMD doesn even use 45nm?

[chumbucket843]

where have you been for the past 2 months amd has 45nm SOI

[pamew]

Because intel stole in the future!111!!

[pamew]

Actually, even speaking as an AMD user myself, your pretty much wrong there, although yes, AMD DID invent the first "true" duel core, I have to admit intels new lineup is impressive, albeit nearly 3 or 4 times as costly for equivalent chips in some cases.

[madebarriere]

cooooooooooooooooooool!!!1
