A comic book? Wtf Amd

 

[radaja]

yea thats what i thought too?

I was more interested in winning an 8 core Fx.

Clearly our priorities are different.

I never win anything so ill just buy it

Good luck with that. Let me know what store you bought it from because there are none available near me.

Did I say today? No I meant when they're released in September

they might just release anytime, hard to say.

That's a pretty defeatist attitude for you to have though. You should enter just like everybody here should because if one of us wins, we might have an early chance to tell the others about the performance of the real Bulldozer.

I'll enter and if i win we'll have a TPU raffle and i'll donate it to the winner.

That's really cool, but bench it first. I'm more interested in real performance than a free Bulldozer.

Definitely would bench it against sandy bridge first and post the results.

That was eh.... nice? Nah!!!!!!! WTF was that?! That's why i don't visit Facebook & now this stuff is like the last nail in it's coffin for me: not that i want to visit this POS site anymore (not dissing the social networks though, live & let live that's my general approach), but i'll also log out of it. Here, i said it.

Jokes aside (though i'm dead serious bout erasing my Facebook profile) this is rather both intriguing & yet f***ed up: winning 8-core FX-series is nice, but comic? Seriously, WTF????!!!! Makes me suspicious bout company's plans? I think it does.

Then it should be the job of those that sell them to make them more fun, rather than providing a distraction from the lack of enjoyment.


In my world, you fix problems at the source, not patch things over with bandaids.

Of course, there's always a place in the market for the Ferraris, but that doesn't mean that everyone needs to have a model like it all thier own. Fortunately, the market is large enough that exclusion of such product lines is not only feasible, the remaining segments are such that should not, and cannot, be ignored.


And the largest segment deserves the largest investment. Success comes through sacrifice, but you must never sacrifice too much(like Ben did). Buying a Ferrari, and then living in a cardboard box, is just silly.

So it remains to be seen..is AMD making some sort of sacrifice here? Seems like the time delay was a sacrifice in sales, to me. Are these clockspeeds enough, or did they sacrifice too much? Ferrari, or Camry?

I'd do it.

 

[cadaveca]

I'd do it.

Of course. Thanks for proving my point.

 

[Wile E]

What point? I didn't see one made.

YOU weren't supposed to.

 

[Wile E]

I don't get it. All I want to know is, where is my Ferrari?

 

[YautjaLord]

I am Carmageddon fan as well, not AvP only; so i'd like my Suppressor-type of CPU (if you remember what Carma's Suppressor is). If SB/IB is - say - Semi with nitro than i want the Dozer to be Suppressor with all APO installed: fast, heavy & butchering. Ferrari is good, but when you see something like APC speeding @ you, you know you have zero time to dodge it's slam; i'd like the Dozer to be like that. Forget bout sports car analogies, speeding APC is better in all aspects.

Wow $320 for the top end of the octo cores? Very nice price and prolly something Ill scoop up. I thought AMD was using High K Metal Gate technology not SOI anymore.

At the dealer, waiting for you to go pick it up.
Oh wait...you were talking about the processor...well, then it's at Intel HQ...waiting for you to go pick it up. Pack some heat, they won't give it up easily.

 

[radaja]

From AMD's Comic,maybe a hidden release date?

and possible clockspeed?3600Mhz?

 

[Pestilence]

November 19th?

 

[cadaveca]

December.


Just in time for Christmas.

Whoohoo..... sleigh bells ring... are you listening?

If its any later then october Amd should just fold up and say fuck it

 

[HalfAHertz]

A whole page talking about the comic and nobody gave a link?

It's nothing special but it sure looks a lot better than the crappy animation.
