Busted?  :laugh:

I'm planning on grabbing a Venice soon. I considered a dual core, but the cost and the fact that its still the first generation makes me want to just grab a single core for now and upgrade once the technology has matured. Its like 64 bit in its early days... It wasn't the best. But by now, there's been leaps and bounds of improvements.

venice looks great but i think im going to wait till '06 to upgrade my xp 2400. patience has recently become my virtue, regarding hardware, as of late. :p

The XP-120 does tend to cool 2 or 3 degrees less then the Zalman, but that's hardly something to write home about.  Nor does it come with a fan like the Zalman, ie. extra costs.

The Zalman uses a 120mm fan which pushes more air at a lower rpm then your 92mm fan would and is adjustable.

Are you talking about the XP-120 or XP-90? XP-120 uses a 120mm fan, for your information, and a custom one at that so you change choose whether you want a lower noise level or a higher speed fan.

I moved up to an X2 4200 this weekend. So far so good.

Intel engineers should know better than anyone how much better AMD's dual core implementation is. The crossbar switch setup completely blows away Intel's "Let's duct tape two P4s to one socket" approach. Two cores that have to leave the chip via the FSB and go through the north bridge in order to talk to each other... seriously, you can do better than that.

I actually said the XP-90c in my post :p that seems to get better results then a XP-120, and as Cyrilix said the XP-120 is a 120mm fan obviously as the XP-90 is a 92mm fan ;)

Good change... however just to set the record straight... at stock speed a socket 754 3700+ DOES outperform a socket 939 3700+ however the normal OC achievable with the 939 makes it better.

I don't think so....It's clocked 200mhz higher, but being in s754, you can't have a dual-channel rig with it, hurting your memory bandwidth. Also, I think the HT speed is higher on s939 processors. You got any benchies of the ol' 3700+ whoopin the new one? That'd be pretty cool to see :happy:

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
