AMD counters Intel Core i7 bigtime..... 12 cores

mao sa una.. k2 P4 era speed rajud and gi apas. hahai.. Netburst saks. hehe

then boom.. when intel launches the c2d, the speed ddnt matter but the FSB and cache. maybe the nanometer plays a a great role too.!

this is not the case at all. more cores does not AUTOMATICALLY translate to better performance. there's core management, cache management, and many other factors to consider. which one would you get, a quad core with a 2 MHz speed or a single core with 6GHz speed? (consider both to be functional and defect-free).

basically, it's all about scalability, performance, efficiency, and pricing.

got your point, but ang ako lang before thery we're competing in terms of how their fast their procies are but knowing that the other can easily match their others procie in terms of speed, now they shifted on the number of cores that a procie has, and yes there are many factors to consider not just the number of cores but having multiple cores is definitely has its advantages depende sad sa mugamit.

well, yes, multiple cores do have an impact in performance, but when you go higher than 2 cores, you can't see a linear increase, rather a very little increase "by the curve". you can't get any better than a Core i7 (at least as of today, that may change in the course of time as software are created to be multi-threaded).

if softwares can utilize all four or eight cores then thats going to be another competition and challeng to both companies..

hopefully not Another Mad Deception.

consumer needs product competition.

NOT just marketing BS and paper strength. ( just like the barcelona! )

not to mention agena/kuma, the Phenom(enal failures). XD.

AMD Dragon is next Spider platform

Dragon is the name of the new AMD desktop platform and it consists of three parts. The first one is Phenom II CPU, followed by Radeon HD 4000 series graphic and third and final part is a chipset and 790GX-based motherboard.

This is an upgrade to a quite successful Spider platform that AMD launched last year with original Phenom. Spider had good HD 3000 graphics and 780FX chipset, but it failed to bring a high-performance CPU, as the first Phenoms had this nasty TLB bug that left a big scar in AMD financial scores.

This is now fixed and Deneb aka Phenom II does looks great and it will overclock and run quite nice in this environment. Dragon is a powerful name for a platform, something that definitely is associated to Bruce Lee, the only man cooler than Chuck Norris, and it definitely sounds better than Spider.

The problem with spiders is that they can easily get squashed, which we cannot say for a dragon. The whole platform will embrace AM3 versions of Phenom II and DDR3 memory, but this comes after the original AM2+ Phenom II parts scheduled for early Q1 2009 launch.

Crosses fingers!

i can't wait intel will have a shaky knees after......... AMD rAXs...

[ninzska21]

remember. intel can at any moment can launch an even faster processor if they think the competition is getting very close.!

i can't wait intel will have a shaky knees after......... AMD rAXs...

raxs? u mean racks?

meaning shelved?

he he he he..

im with u in : i can't wait intel will have a shaky knee.....

para sila napud mupanaud ug maayo sa ila prices..
