Intel beats AMD with new CPU! Hell FrozeN?


Recommended Posts

I said several months ago that Intel would be back on top very shortly. This is just the start. I'm an AMD user myself right now at least, I used Intel when they were better, I could care less what company you are, I go for whatever is best at the time. Anyone with half a brain knows that companies like this go in cycles of who is better than the other. Normally once one company starts to fall behind quite a bit, they just produce mediocre products while spending more time developing the "next big thing". Intel and AMD do it, ATI and Nvidia do it, they all do it.

You hit the nail right on the head. I just hope they will not charge a premium over this extra performance like AMD started doing with their XP line (IMO at least). I'd love to see the days of the K7 vs PIII / P4, you'd pay less and have a chip that performed as well or better then the competition.

I can't wait to see the final model versions of the chip and the pricing to go along with them.

Well, people were comparing the new A64's to the old Pentium 4 northwoods. No one agreed with me when I said they were comparing different generations...however the Prescotts came out pretty horrible...but yes. We still can't compare the two companies directly. However, a 40% margin on paper looks pretty hard to make up..

The FX-60 was overclocked, so it's not even being sold. ;)

Yeah, a the Intel guys (the ones who work for Intel) over at [H] were talking about how the platform is the limiting factor now. The processors are set to take off, Intel has to work on a new platform to keep up with them now.

What's this NGMA thing? :|

A quick search on Wikipedia returned the following:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGMA

Seems its related to the next generation AMD Cpu (the AMD K10)

Northwood and Prescott weren't really different generations, those were respins basically of Willamette, just like how you have Sledgehammer/Clawhammer, Venice/San Diego, etc. Those were all respins, not new CPUs as a whole.

FX-60 was o/c'd...so it's not even being sold? Wtf? Atleast you can buy the first part, the FX-60. Where the hell are you gonna find a Conroe at 2.66ghz? :rolleyes:

Intel's limiting factor is that crappy FSB.

NGMA? What?

What do you mean find a Conroe at 2.66ghz? Thats what it will be sold at stock, it isn't overclocked. What he meant was it was an overclocked FX-60 which means the average user doesnt have one at that speed, you can't buy it at that speed.

Conroe XE is going to be 3.33Ghz.....get ready boys, it is a show-stopper....

2.66 4M wil cost ~600, 2.4 4M ~400 and 2M cache conroes under that.

just like pentiums today.

2.9 conroe will be introduced Q4 and will have ~800 price tag..

saw that info somewhere.. xbit or theinq or AT.. whatever..

haha no, im just getting facts straight :laugh:

What's NGMA anyways? Do you mean NUMA?

I guess I misread the tone. :pinch:

Regardless of whether or not the two were spin offs, they were from different generations. Albeit the technology was essentially the same, but we weren't all completely sure of what to expect after the Northwood. Yet, there were claims of AMD owning Intel forever, before we even saw what the Prescott was.

AMD isn't set to release their next generation architecture for a while, so looks like we might have to wait a bit. Looks like they're in the same situation Intel was with the release of K8.

..and the thing with the oc'ed FX-60 not being sold...I meant AMD isn't shipping 2.8GHz FX-60's..are they?

edit: looks like Circaflex has it covered. :D Wow, this thread moves pretty fast.

Next Generation Micro-Architecture is all I know about it. Supposed to help with the bandwidth issues..I was just throwing the question (kind of) out there to see if anyone had information.

Seems like someone at wikipedia screwed up, because I know it's on the Intel platform at least. :p

im more realistic of benchmarks for when purchasing products. i dont care whats the best at their high performance level cpus, i care about how their normal user level cpus run. i couldnt afford to buy their top of the line stuff, let alone two x1900 cards. this means nothing to me. sure their best may be better but ill never know anywayz

Come on :rolleyes: You're comparing tomorrow's technology to something that came out yesterday. Of course future chips from Intel are going to beat AMD's chips that were released last year! When AMD releases something comparable and Intel beats it, I'll give Intel the credit, but until then don't get to excited.

News flash for you..the CONSUMERS DON'T REALLY CARE!

Is a company that is in need of Chips gonna see who have "tomorow's technology"? NO! Is a serious gamer going to look at it? NO!

They need their chips NOW and who ever out performs, gets the sale.

Now the benchmark compared the BEST both companies have to offer and when Intel beats it, intel have the better chip end of the story...

All of you AMD fan boys (not saying you are one in particullar)..

GET OVER IT!

Sooo....what are you saying?

I think AMD is supposed to release FX-62s during CeBIT.

Yeah AMD is, I just hope Intel doesn't go all gay (which they will probably have to) with every revision of Conroe, etc..different chipset/socket..cause well. :p

You probably worded that wrong. Since Conroe is technically "tomorrow's technology" with availability in around six months. If they used the "now" criteria, they would still be going AMD.

well that piece of...info would have been...err....helpful....20 FREAKIN MINUES AGO...

:laugh:

Still, my point stand...:rofl:

Like they did with the last line of processors..jeez how many chipsets were released? I can't even attempt to recommend Intel platforms now because I don't know what's works with what...

We do know 975 chipset will work with Conroe..but don't know what happens afterwards.

I sure hope this thing is what it's hyped up to be. I need a rig before heading off to college...

Back to the good 'ol days, when the Northwood P4's beat the Athlon's for all they had :) Really have been waiting a long time to see Intel make a come back, don't take this as a fanboyish statement - they're just simply my manufacturer of choice when it comes to procc., wouldn't have it any other way.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
