AMD introduced the Athlon 64 today, and Microsoft was on hand to intro its 64-bit Windows too. Microsoft said that it will support both Intel and AMD 64-bit, but no more than that. I think what they are referring to when they talk about Intel 64-bit is Itanium, but no other 64-bit that Intel...

There's some good potshots at Intel for not being able to hit 4Ghz with Pentium 4, but the really funny shot goes against Apple/IBM for not getting G5 out at 3Ghz. Intel's in good company. Nobody hit the chip speeds they promised. In June 2003, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said IBM's G5 chips would be...

They are talking about a chip coming out in 2007-2008. It will be designed in Bangalore India. It's current Pentium-M mobile chip was designed in Isreal. Start of a new trend for Intel? http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/20040501121856.html Yousuf Khan -- Humans: contact me at ykhan at...

I found this whitepaper from HP to be pretty good, it is surprisingly candid, considering HP was the coinventor of the Itanium. It does a pretty good job of explaining and summarizing the similarities and differences between AMD64 and EM64T, and their comparison to the Itanium's IA64 instruction...

What do you do when you're having competitive problems with your main product and there is no guaranteed relief in sight? You change the subject. At least, that's what I infer Intel to be doing with Grantsdale: http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/tech/news/2591485 quote

Building a computer from scratch. It'll be built for someone who'll use it for alot of things, but tilted in the 'gaming' direction. Should whether the processor is 64-bit or 32-bit matter? If not, when? If so, how so? In other words, should I go AMD or Intel? I understand AMD is slightly faster...

I've had it permanently installed on my desktop since version 5.10, too. Meanwhile it's been permanently installed on my laptop since 8.10 (after I upgraded the disk to 160GB). I now find myself using mainly Ubuntu on the laptop, but the desktop still needs a few apps running on Windows -- that'll...

There is Intel official page now about Pentium 4 with EM64T (64 bits instruction set, compatible with AMD64 and the actual beta of Windows 64 bits x64) http://www.intel.com/products/server/processors/server/pentium4/index.htm http://developer.intel.com/design/pcn/Processors/D0104101.pdf page...

Does anyone know when are dual core Xeons supplsed to appear? Will the be pin-compatible with current Xeons and really be twice as fast? Thanks

Seems that for one week this past month, there were more AMD-based desktops sold than Intel-based. http://www.technewsworld.com/story/hardware/33636.html For the week ending April 24th, 52% of retail desktops were AMD, and only 47% were Intel. Minor, temporary victory? Absolutely. Just a victory...

Chaintech's new Athlon 64 motherboard will feature an extra fan built-in to the motherboard itself which will be used to cool the capacitors next to the CPU. It calls it RADEX, for Revolutionary Active Direct Exhaust. Here are the...

Tom's Hardware is hilarious. They've refined the art of *BS'ing* to a fine state. It's their pseudo-technical explanations that always try to be mindful of large advertisers are their biggest classics: techno-spin as an artform. Tom's is doing some kind of longevity endurance runoff test between...

Itanium sales have finally surpassed Alpha sales at HP. Looks like it's mostly in the OpenVMS market though. Most OpenVMS customers are entrenching around Itanium now. The Alpha-Tru64 market still seems to be volatile. http://www.techweb.com/wire/story/TWB20040820S0005 Yousuf Khan
