K10 Barcelona is not only 200% faster than Intel evil Cancer chips, it is 10x generations and quad of core native for 400 TIMES faster operations! Any other sayings are paid Intel pumping.
Here are 9 unargued facts of Intel Lies:
a. All Intel chips are based on super-primitive 400 year old technologies! Oh yes Intel Fanboys, the Intel cancer chips use the 'electricity' As all schools know, this was invented by the Benjamin Franklins in the 18th century, so it is 400 years old and TOTALLY OBSOLETE. All K10's use quantum-electron technology at the nanometer size! This is true quad-core technology! K10's use 0 power, make power, and cure cancer!
3. All Intel chips are illegal! For proof look at this evil monopoly ad: Evil Lies Ads Can you see any AMD chips? No? That is because evil Intel is trying to stop good, super-awesome hi-tech AMD chips!! Anyone who denies this is against the laws as the Europe has shown 100%!!
II. AMD + ATI is most successful combination in all of corporation histories! Do not believe Intel pumper lies that evil Intel made only $60 Billion in the illegal profits, it made $500 TRILLION in the illegal profits! All of this money is rightful for AMD since only AMD chips can be used in calculations of accuracy! AMD will be given rightful $500 TRILLION in next month just in time for the 1 Billion K10's all running at the 4Ghz to be released. Because Hector is saving the world, AMD will sell K10's for only $1, but since rightful $500 TRILLION is due, AMD will have greatest profits of ALL COMPANIES EVER!! AMD SAVES WORLD!
7. Penryn is a LIE!!! Do not believe Pumper Chinese Intel sites!! ONly good AMEARICAN AMD sites show true benchmarks that an Opteron simulating a 2.6Ghz K10 is 50% faster than ALL Intel chips ever made! It is a proven science that running worthless benchmarks like 'povray', 'cinebench', 'half life', 'lame encoding', 'SPEC' is all a lie unless done by scientific CPUs. Since Intel CPUs are all based on 400 year old super-outdated tech, they CANNOT be used in any banchmark! Only AMD CPUs can ever give correct results, so any comparisons are LIES. It has been shown that the K10 is already the most widely tested and widely used CPU in the history of all the world, any deniers are illegal Intel fan-pumpers!
ALL INTEL FANS ARE GOING TO JAIL FROM NEW MONOPOLY EVIL FINDING OF SUPER COURT!
AMD already pulled their trigger and shot both foots off and are trying to balance on their sorry 3" third leg.
AMD is finished, drowning in debt.
INTEL already has two 45nm factories warmed up to unleash Penrym die that are far smaller and cheaper then Barcelona and Phenom. AMD lost a 6 month window by being late with 65nm and later with Barcelona.
Sharikou... what the hell is wrong with you? I'm not expecting you to ever post anything even remotely approaching facts, a reasoned argument, or even links to any relevant analysis or measurement. However, I do expect you to at least post new lies and FUD on this site! You already produced this garbage back in May! Now, we both know that the only thing that has happened since then is that AMD has postponed shipping Barcelona, lowered the clock speeds it will eventually ship, and spewed all sorts of spin about how customers actually want slower CPUs than AMD already sells. I WANT NEW FUD OUT OF YOU!
I mean, can you at least put up a link to a review of AMD putting out a 'new' 90nm Opteron at 3.2Ghz instead of shipping Barcelona ontime? I would rather hear some uniformed drivel about how that space-heater is great while all Intel CPUs cause grobal walming or something equally retarded. At least it would be original.
Since we are in blast-from-the-past dupe mode on this website, how about this: Pentium III's frag Athlons at SPEC!! Intel is pulling the trigger Sharikou!!
This is easy. Clovertown goes all the way to 3Ghz, yet AMD chooses to only use the 2.33Ghz version?
Everyone knows that AMD has always had strong FP performance. For example, we know that a 4x4 platform at 3Ghz will be faster than a QX6850 at 3Ghz in SpecFP, but in real workloads the QX6850 is much baster.
Take it easy, the flood is near. This is only the beginning ;) I'm very sure that Barcelona will beat the shit out of the Cloverton/Penryn.
BTW: Penryn is only 5-10% more powerful (clock-to-clock) compared with Cloverton.... The only good thing that Penryn can do right now is DivX encoding and in some games (10-30%). But remember, Penryn has 2+ Mb in cache and SSE4. So, that's the Intel secret.
AMD knows the only benchmark they stand a chance in is SpecFP. In the benchmark they showed off, they are faster by about 30% if my calculations are accurate.
But the clockspeed difference between the 2.33ghz model AMD used and the fastest 3Ghz model is almost the same amount. If AMD used the fastest Clovertown then that performance lead they had suddenly vanishes.
What about other benchmarks? We'll use SPECint*_rate2006 from before. If a 2.6Ghz Barcelona would get a score of 102, the 2Ghz Barcelona will have a score of only ~78.5 vs. 106 for the Clovertown.
Barcelona is AMD's attempt to catch up to Intel. But it's simply too little, too late when compared with Penryn.
I have seen your name popup for few years now and never actually looked in to your FUD for information. I used you as a late afternoon office laugh grunt …. We thought that maybe your mama dropped you on your head when she was Brest feeding you at age of 10 and you hit an AMD 486 and broke it … thus your love for AMD. Some other people have more idea why god has left you to poop on yourself and let few million people to laugh at you like you are the finniest “idiot” so far in the new century. BUT I think you actually are SMART ,,,,, I think that you might be INTEL FanBOI talking crap and making AMD look stupid …. But then I don’t see any ads on your stupid blog site so I wonder how you get paid … I am a socalled "my wallet" FAN BOI .. I dont care about Intel nor AMD .... I care about getting the best hardware for the buck .... so far its Intel ... maybe in 5 months its AMD ... who knows or who cares expect you AMD/INTEL idiots ... Get a life ... get a girl ... maybe she can teach you how to please her instead of realtime news group porn push tab? ... that keyboard must be pretty sticky now days heh?
First, did everyone see Sun's new chip today? Seems pretty amazing, no? Specs and an article. Comments, anyone?
Giant said... Clovertown goes all the way to 3Ghz, yet AMD chooses to only use the 2.33Ghz version?
Who cares what the processor speeds are! I'm pretty sure AMD didn't intend for this to be a benchmark to compare top-end processors.
More than likely it is a benchmark which shows off two processors which will be targeted/competing within the same market segment!
My theory (and don't shoot me for this, I dream too) is that AMD is righ behind IBM's lead/trail. Which means that they can probably release a 4.7 GHz Barcelona within 9 to 12 months from now.
If so, it would be suicide for their Barcelona sales to even mention that fact at this point. Even saying they can go over 3+ GHz should be hush hush until they know what Penryn can do. If Penryn proves a threat, you try to kill their sales by releasing your 3.3 GHz Barcelona. If Penryn is not all that, then you just keep playing your poker hand with a straight face and slowly increase the core speed.
AMD's new site is full of lies. AMD is guilty of defamation:
http://virtualization.sys-con.com/read/411804.htm
jeach is obviously a fool. The POWER6 architecture can get to 4.7Ghz because it was designed to do just that. That included a huge number of changes; reverting back to in-order execution from out-of-order execution is just one example.
Barcelona was designed to scale to clockspeeds around the same as K8 can. jeach and onlyamd can dream about such clockspeeds; while everyone with a modicum of common sense know that Barcelona will never scale to 4.7Ghz.
Jeach: Very funny man, are you sure you aren't the same guy as the_burninator? I mean, even he is only predicting K10 at 4Ghz, but you've already trumped that! Will it also run at 4.7Ghz in laptops while using 0 power too? Just checking.
Andyw35: The 'AMD BK Q2' meme is a parody of Sharikou's inane and tiresome mantra that Intel is going to be bankrupt in about 6-9 months. It's a little difficult to go bankrupt when you have no debt, billions in cash reserve, and are making nearly $2 billion in profit every quarter, but Sharikou and a bunch of other AMD zombies on this site regurgitate that phrase daily. Just go back and read this blog over its history. Sharikou has deteriorated significantly over the last 6 months. He was always a fanboy, but at one time he could sort of make an argument. At this point he can't even make fanboy predictions anymore... it's been at least 2 months since he even put out (completely wrong) K10 specs!
Chuckula said... Jeach: Very funny man, are you sure you aren't the same guy as the_burninator?
Glad to keep you all entertained :)
And no I'm not burninator, I'm a man of single identity (for now).
My theory might be far fetched, but I still firmly believe that the great Dr. -- Dr. Ruiz, that is -- still has that jaw dropping surprise for Intel. And let's hope he wasn't referring to K9 when he said that!!
Want to hear some more funny stuff? Here goes... I believe that AMD will eventually break the 'follower' trend in manufacturing technology and become the clear 'leader' when they are the first to implement IBM's 3D process. I said it back a few months ago in a discussion about Fusion with 'ho ho'... and say it again. Stacked chip design is clearly and inevitably the future!
Errrr...I mean ..is the excess inventory leader with a staggering $4.12 billion as of Q2'07 ...AMD only has a paltry inventory of $ 0.89 billion.. Lean and Mean I might say ... ...AMD looks really in good shape..before they start the K10 flood
Oh no, my link didn't work. Oh yeah, that's right, there's no such thing as K10 benchmarks because none exist; except what AMD shows us in green PowerPoints (no doubt made on a K10 machine).
I love how AMD (and only AMD!) quote pure BS like this:
"Intel will struggle to match Opteron in the next 18 months but instead of rolling out Opteron killers in 2007, Intel will introduce more processors tied down by its aging architecture dependencies. The company does not have a realistic chance of besting Opteron on typical server benchmarks until the new chips arrive in 2009. By that time, AMD will have new four-core designs of its own and who knows what other innovations." — The Register
It's fact that Clovertown is far faster than any Opteron.
"...for all his moves, Intel hasn't leapt anywhere since [Intel CEO Paul] Otellini took the helm." — CBS MarketWatch (June 12, 2006)
Quoting crap like this, look at the date. Mere weeks before the launch of the Xeon 5100 and the Core Micro Architecture. We all know that a month after this quote Core 2 Duo launched an AMD's troubles began.
AMD hasn't leapt anywhere since [AMD CEO Hector] Ruiz took the helm. Well, that's not entirely true. They've lept into debt and posting huge losses everywhere because of Ruiz's stupid decisions!
Hey onlyamd, how do you like that your beloved AMD is losing $7 EVERY SINGLE DAY?!
The only gains AMD made were in pathetically low end desktop where there is zero profit to be made, but Intel has put a stop to that. The E2140 will be priced at $64. AMD already loses cash on each $70 dual core it sells. For them to match this price will cause even greater losses. Otellini does not mind sacrificing some profit in the short term to finish AMD off.
Hey onlyamd, how do you like that your beloved AMD is losing $7 EVERY SINGLE DAY?!
$7 MILLION every day.
$2.2B wasn't enough, AMD goes back to the markets to get more money to pay off Morgan Stanley debt.
This is hilarious. AMD - Always More Debt! They are taking on more debt to pay off existing debts. The Morgan and Stanley loan is constricting AMD; whenever AMD tries to sell off it's stuff Morgan and Stanley would get the cash. Now we know what AMD is doing; paying off Morgan and Stanley loan so they can sell everything they possibly can.
It wouldn't suprise me if they flog off FAB30 as part of this fire sale. AMD really only needs one FAB with 300mm. They can sell the other to delay their BK for a while.

I guess things were slow around here and the doc needed to stir the pot again :)
Here, I'll help, this is one of my favs from the doc:
The following is a pricing list after K10 launch:
K10 quad (AM2) 2.9GHZ: $995
K10 quad 2.7GHZ: $795
K10 quad 2.5 GHZ: $595
K10 quad 2.3 GHZ: $395
K10 dual 2.9 GHZ: $695
K10 dual 2.7GHZ: $495
K10 dual 2.5 GHZ: $295
K10 dual 2.4GHZ: $195
Since we know none of those parts exist, what do you guys think the 1.8 - 2.0 Ghz parts will cost?
Will AMD be able to price them high enough to actually make a profit on them?
AMD Q2 conference call:
"No more price cuts"
8/6:
"Nobody wants our crap, so were lowering prices to move inventory"
Hector should go to jail for securities fraud.
AMD already pulled their trigger and shot both foots off and are trying to balance on their sorry 3" third leg.
AMD is finished, drowning in debt.

Intel is the Industry Leader !!...

$4.12 billion as of Q2'07 ...AMD only has a paltry inventory of $ 0.89 billion..
Lean and Mean I might say ... ...AMD looks really in good shape..before they start the K10 flood
AMD ready to pull the trigger on INTEL
See benchmarks.
Oh no, my link didn't work. Oh yeah, that's right, there's no such thing as K10 benchmarks because none exist; except what AMD shows us in green PowerPoints (no doubt made on a K10 machine).
Yawn.
Oneexpert you ignorant turd, go check Valve's CPU numbers from 4 months ago.
AMD has LOST marketshare to intel in the gamers market.
Don't let little things like facts stand in the way of your bullshit.
Errrr...I mean ..is the excess inventory leader with a staggering
$4.12 billion as of Q2'07 ...AMD only has a paltry inventory of $ 0.89 billion..
Let's take a look at the numbers, shall we?
Intel inventory down $200M, to 47% of quarterly sales.
AMD inventory up - finished goods doubled - to 64% of quarterly sales, after a $30M write down of unsellable product.
Intel is running at 9 turns a year while AMD is running at 6 turns a year.
How, exactly, do you see this as good for AMD?
netretard, another AMD fanboy that can't think.
Check out AMD's new website:
http://breakfree.amd.com/en-us/default.aspx
This is the chronicles of AMD accusing Intel of everything from being a monopoly to UFO conspiracies.
AMD living up to its reputation of crying just like their fanbois and making power points to the fullest.
Remember the days when AMD used to be a CPU company......now power point and web development has been their primary focus......
Instead of pulling the trigger on Intel, AMD may find it more useful to pull the trigger on sellable product.

Good thinking, I do think your analysis is correct.
While this may not be a bad thing for AMD, it is the only thing for AMD. They need cash to run the business, and this is the only way to get it.
