Can AMD come back?

Seems to be the pattern man... :D

The computer I record on, was a state of the art AMD.....a few years back. Athlon1200, 512MB RAM, and it would be considered junk now....but I still use it.

Duron 1 ghz with 512 MB RAM,here!
I have no idea what these geeks are talking about! :D
 
i get a computer that isnt top of the line, just below, because you can get it at a ridiculous price...and then i usually sit on that for 2-3 years...forgetting about computers...

then i start asking around again when i'm itching for a new one
 
AMD is coming back with a quad core next year, with the use of DDR3, but it will still have 90nm, however, with the boost of fsb & use of DDR3, AMD's quad core will be a lot quicker... BUT also, Intel's quad core due mid 2007 will have 45nm arch. Which will also help boost work to clock cycle. Either way, when app's start making use of quad cores etc, and everything's settled in, who will really notice a major increase in speed? nobody. speeds of multi-cores will be so fast, it wouldn't really matter. I read from intel, that they plan to release a 32 core processor in 2010. Both quad cores from Intel/AMD will have the new L3 cache installed, to help boost performances in customer levels. I mean they already been faster processors, but not for sale lol. I plan on upgrading my existing gigabyte mobo to the newer one that supports intel's quad core so that I can get that new one when it comes out. Of course currently Conroe's core IS still the FASTEST in the market for regular consumers.
 
quad core is only good if applications can ultilize it, i'm hearing some games are having trouble running quad core (for some reason a few people already got hold of the chip + mobo that works with it)...

the intel dual core is a big jump from anything in the previous generation. not only it woop the P4 by a big gap, it also woop the A64 by a big gap too...

I really want AMD to recover from this, because if not the market will be monopolize by intel and dark days are ahead if that ever happen...

i have both intel/AMD... the truth is intel is better.... AMD for some reason feels sluggest even though the bench says it's pounding out more power... the intel chips feels smooth when u run stuff... dunno why, it just feels like it.
 
I was a big AMD fan because of performances of the original 64 bit chip, I had the first 1mb cache 3200+, of course they phased that out because it was too expensive etc.. now I have the dual core Pentium D 930, and it's pretty fast. I also agree, AMD needs to come back with something stronger. There's 2 ways to get chips, work for either AMD/Intel, or become an independent tester. at least that's the only 2 ways I know... or become a news writer, and get hands on with it.
 
the first intel quaddie ships in November (Core 2 extereme). The quad Xeons (Clovertown) will also debut then. The full quad line ships in Q1 2007.

Raw speed is not really a measure of performance for MPS systems, if an app is written for multi processor systems, the advantages are huge since they allow a lot more to be going on at once. This should be great for DAW's

Tom's hardware just reviewed the quad core 2 and it really is not faster in the normal bench marks, but wait and see what happens when you have optimized apps
