Intel scraps once-crucial Itanium feature | CNET News.com http://news.com.com/Intel+scraps+once-crucial+Itanium+feature/2100-1006_3-6028817.html

Hello all, I've (finally) hopped on the Wi-Fi bandwagon, and bought, among other gear, a pair of PCI 802.11g network adapters. Problem is, the PCI card is properly detected on my recent motherboard (2001 ASUS A7V133-C SocketA) but *NOT* on my older motherboard (1997 ASUS P/I-P55T2P4...

Tilera to Introduce 64-Core Processor By Andy Patrizio An MIT-inspired startup will introduce a new multi-core chip today at the annual Hot Chips conference at Stanford University. The TILE64 boasts a "clean sheet" design, unencumbered by any legacy compatibility concerns, that Tilera says will...

Apparently the 64-bit Pentium 4's are now ready. And they're server parts!? http://www.eetimes.com/semi/news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=26805631 Yousuf Khan -- Humans: contact me at ykhan at rogers dot com Spambots: just reply to this email address ;-)

We're just coming up on the tenth anniversary of Intel's Pentium FDIV bug, which Intel said would be encountered once every 27,000 years and which I pointed out, on comp.sys.intel on 12/3/94, would happen every few seconds when dividing small "bruised" integers, a phenomenon confirmed a few days...

Interesting the AMD 45nm technology does not yet include High-K & Metal Gates (HKMG), yet it uses 15-30% less power. Of course AMD does use SOI, which Intel doesn't. So it looks like currently SOI utilizes power better than HKMG, but AMD also plans to use HKMG in later 45nm revision. Yousuf...

It sure would be great to have an OSX86 newsgroup instead of just forums.

To celebrate this years Anti-Wintel Day I would like to point out how slow, overpriced and energy inefficient Intel x86 processors are, compared to ARM CPUs running RISC OS or Linux. Pentiums use 100+ watts, while a BTX 9" CPU fan and "motor bike" sized BTX heatsink to cool the CPU are ridiculous,...

Well, the article makes it look like Intel's architecture has defeated RISC. That may be true, but Intel's architecture (x86) looks like its on the verge of defeating Intel itself too. Guardian Unlimited Technology | Technology | Jack Schofield: Risc...

Greetings, In the competition for 4-way performance, IBM xSeries 366 with X3 architecture and 3.66MHz Xeons is bested only by a P5 entry from IBM and an Itanium entry from HP: http://www.tpc.org/tpcc/results/tpccadvanced3.asp Filter for 4-way systems and sort on tpmc.

This article states that the original P4EE is being discontinued. It doesn't mention whether all further EE's will be discontinued or not, but it seems to be the implication. I wonder if that means AMD will also discontinue its FX line of Athlon...

Regarding the new buffer overflow protection that's being put into 32-bit Windows XP SP2 running on AMD64 CPUs, apparently the technology has now come to Intel Prescott CPUs too. Very interesting, that's the first time we're hearing about...

Recently purchased a DP35DP. According to Intel, it will support the Q9300 and E8000 series with BIOS version 0326. I don't have a spare CPU. Can I tell which BIOS by looking at the mainboard? Is there much chance that recently shipped mainboards have an earlier BIOS? Thanks.

Hi, Does L1 "memory cache" cache virtual addresses or physical addresses? I.E is L1 cache located after the memory management unit (MMU) and the TLB or before? What about L2 cache? which relative location gives better performances? I am more interested on intel x86 processors. Another question...
