1) Message boards : Number crunching : Error on units. (Message 53462) Posted 30 May 2008 by Who? Post: So when are you going to drop a nehalem on Rosetta? ;) i realise that you're not really being serious about this, but the answer is not soon. This is true, we got a wait a little... :) Francois
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Error on units. (Message 53412) Posted 28 May 2008 by Who? Post: I am back on Rosetta, I putted some serious processing power, 2 Skulltrails running at 4.0Ghz. now, I see that my computers are reporting a lot of bad units, and I can see my rendering mates reporting the same issues on the same units ... Is there a problem with the units? (sorry if somebody already answered this) who?

Is that 10th September in UK too or just US? Probably just 'on paper' :D you can know earlier ... benchmarks are showing up: ou la la, it is fast Monsieur!!! just kidding. who? Please explain the filtering. who?

6) Message boards : Number crunching : Naive Quad Core to be released in August. (Message 44841) Posted 9 Aug 2007 by Who? Post: So I guess it does make a difference then from all the silence... Compiler to support AMD quad core Barcelonas THE PORTLAND GROUP said its compilers and development tools now support quad core "Barcelona" Opterons. The PGI compilers will take advantage of AMD's direct connect architecture, will be able to use the 128-bit wide floating point units, avoid merge dependencies, and use functions to take advantage of the ABM and SSE4a instructions. They will also support software pre-fetching to complement the level one data cache prefetch hardware and other features of the Barcelona chips. Version 7.--7 will generate code at the quad cores, and Portland will introduce version 7.1 of the compilers and tools this autumn to include extra features and optimisations for the quad core Opterons. well, at 2Ghz, the compiler does not make any difference ... who?

Post: [This V8 with 2 Xeons 45nm Penryn is a Pretty fast beast, I count on you to read or come to IDF Nothing Naive into this quad cores Is the Penryn quad still just two dual-cores sandwiched together or is this a "true" quad-core? If not, what is the name for the real quad-core and when is that supposed to be available? Thanks. One die or 2 dies , does it make any difference? does it? This NON NAIVE Quad core Core 2 design allowed the price of the Q6600 to go below 300$ Performance wise, it does not make any difference. who?

Post: no offense intended, but i'm more inclined to be attracted to that V8 !!! since I am the one who ran the numbers on the V8 Who? is that you? Because the article states under the picture "It was all smiles from Intel Senior Performance Analyst Francois Piednoel as he just finished running benchmarks with the V8 system which was running a pair of 3.00GHz Penryn processors" darn ... I am good looking ;) kidding. who? I can understand you, This V8 with 2 Xeons 45nm Penryn is a Pretty fast beast, I count on you to read or come to IDF Nothing Naive into this quad cores That is going to be fun! Trust me who?

Post: When a computer is down for 2 weeks because I broke my processor through careless handling, it drops your RAC like a rock. And give me a Guiness or Sam Adams any day of the week. And should be keep stroking Who's ego? I mean, he's toured the world over with Roger Daltry, what more does he want? I want more G-MIPS, more G-FLOPS keep adding PCs to Rosetta, even slow one. since we are in the show business, call me Doctor ... hehehe who?

Post: one tanker truck of duff beer coming at 7 tonight. i enjoy your posts..... may not always agree, but i respect your opinion.... and there certainly are times we agree..... let's everyone just go out for a beer and chill, i think greg_be is buying..... Maybe we should all stop posting, or even reading, Who's gloating and ego stroking threads. I'm sure he would eventually stop when he see's no one really cares, or even looks at these "Intel is god" threads. that's sound pretty much to me as a personal attach? I just answered saying that I kind of spend a lot of my time on the forum of Rosetta and SETI, and I am tired of getting this kind of post, by people that just some around, and do not participe too much. when you get few of them every day, you get tired of it. who? PS: the design of K10 is naive, its Launch frequency prove it (2GHz), if you are mad at this, please complain at www.amd.com, not to me! I love Belgium beer, drink a "Lindeman's framboise" for me, I miss belgium beer very much! I still have hope to convert greg_be to the real processing power color: BLUE! who?

Strong opinion ... hehehe please put as much energy in getting your RAC over 100 :) The right to have strong opinion comes with higher RAC. At least, i work hard in making my ideas into silicon, what about you? anything useful to say or do? who?
14) Message boards : Number crunching : Naive Quad Core to be released in August. (Message 43496) Posted 10 Jul 2007 by Who? Post: Who?, the POVray benchmarks. Where they using code you optimised for the Core2 or generic code... Did anyone compare it to an AMD hand optimised code ? It actually make a very little difference. The SSE2 version of Povray uses Scalar SSE2, it dose behave very close to x87, only 2% of the SSE2 FP instruction retired are Packed. If you compare the both speed on a Core 2, you 'll see a 5% difference. The K10 and the K8 share the same number of execution units, the only performance improvement on the K10 will come from Packed instructions. Povray does not have too many of those, and it is not FP load banded too. So, K10 = K8, it is expected on Game , X87, and SSE2 scalar. 3 FP units 64bits = 3 FP Units 128bits if you have only Scalar or x87, that is pure architecture analysis, from the public documents of K10, that is the only think I can say. K10 has an additional FP load port. AMD people are smart, i don't think they will choose the slower version, as 1st public demo, I wonder why people under-estimate them on this. Got the point? Who?

The Story is not finish: AMD drags feet on taking down bogus benchmarks really! who can support this kind of behavior? Naive Quad core, with not so Naive Marketing, big lies! I wonder when the people who bought stocks based on those Benchmarks will start calling their lawers? who? Finally, AMD heared the voice of the reason: George posted: Here [UPDATE - 1:00 PM - AMD has done the right thing and removed the objectionable slides this morning. Thank you AMD. Blog title was changed from “AMD drags feet on taking down bogus benchmarks”.] Fair competition is good! who?

George said: "A day after I blasted AMD for posting deceptive on Barcelona, AMD is promising to release “honest Barcelona benchmarks“. As of Thursday afternoon 7/5/2007 the misleading Barcelona numbers are still posted on AMD’s website but AMD is promising to release updated numbers in the coming weeks with Barcelona 2.0 GHz scores (slated for September 2007 release) instead of “simulated Barcelona 2.6 GHz scores”. " wow! here too,VNUNET who?
18) Message boards : Number crunching : Naive Quad Core to be released in August. (Message 43298) Posted 6 Jul 2007 by Who? Post: Hm, there are some things that dont fit in my point of view. On one hand you talk about simulated-non real benchmarks, but when we go to the POVRAY score, where Intel claims to beat 16 core AMD Barcelona with a 8 core Xeon System, you take those numbers as hard evidence ;) ? since I am the one who ran the numbers on the V8, and the score of 4000 for Barcelona was given by an AMD VP (Randy Allen ), I think we can trust Both numbers. May be you want to challenge Randy? hehehe, for my Povray score, more than 20 journalist saw it. So, yes, the V8 did give a serious lesson to the 16 Cores 1.8Ghz Barcelona, it is a fact you can t argue, there are more than 20 journalist able to confirm, they were at Both demos at Microprocessor forum. And if the SPEC numbers for the Xeon are really old/outdated, and the actuall one is 101 for the 2,66 GHz, then the 2,6 GHz Barcelona still hold the 102 - doesnt look that good, but 1 point is 1 point, no ? This is still very far from the 21% you was talking about, and the 3.0Ghz score for clowertown is filed. and the 2.6Ghz barcelona does not exist. What also will bring a performance boost for AMD will be the introducing of HT (HyperTransport) 3.0 in 2008, which will raise the data speed up to 41,6 GB/s - how fast is Intel´s FSB, even with 1333 MHz ? anyone ? By the Time AMD get the HT 3.0, Penryn is selling, i don t even speak about Nehalem, coming with CSI that is much smarter then HyperTransport 3.0. You can turn it like you want, the AMD Barcelona IS a hard opponent edit(Hard to make, so hard they can go over 2.0Ghz), and offers advantages over Intel in many sectors; ( f.e. Memory Bandwidth, the Memory Controller) - if it would be such a bad CPU like you claim, why would you go and waste your time trying to talk it down ? :) well, if you are an inform programmer, you ll remember that in 1 year of computer science class, in the architecture part, your teacher told you that you do NUMA when you can do anything else. Please show a real benchmark, not projected, not simulated, or stop FUDing, only speak with fact please. who?

Post: cant u read ? :S SPECint_rate2006 - 21% AMD there is ure INT btw SPECfp_rate2006 - 50% AMD SPECweb99 - 67% AMD SPECweb99_SSL - 66% AMD SPECweb2005/Ecom - 100% AMD SAP-SD - 70% AMD TPC-C SQL2000 42% AMD "lalala land projection, nobody did measure this, not even AMD, it is PROJECTED ;-) , do you know anybody who will project losing????" stop blowing hot air, when numbers are already called. When you feel you have some numbers to add, then do so, and dont write "Strange they forget to speak about those ..." cuz this tells nothing at all... PS: funny that u didnt comment on my facts about realibility - truth hurts ? :) Next month i might put an AMD x2 6000+ up, in benches it beats the C2D 6600 and its listed with 139 € - can anyone beat that atm ? :o DC wont be the main use of that system, but ill see what RAC I can pull :) those are projection numbers, they actually did not file them in SPEC database. no more comments! who? You may beat a 6600, but you will not beat any of the X6800 or Q6600 for sure, thanks for admitting this. I don t even speak about Penryn ... no chance to even get close here! yes, it is already played smile who? now, journalist agree with me. When the Journalist is actually a sharp one, here is what is coming out: George Blog In the Pentium 4 time frame, George was hard on Intel too. He is a fair man. who?
