    Intel X25-E drive

    Yeah, it would be nice to know when the new drive with TRIM command will come out. I'm itchin' for an upgrade.

    Intel X25-E drive

    Thanks for the info. That is very informative. What you are saying is that they are equal at reads and the M will out do the E with the firmware upgrade....(don't understand why this would be the case though) since the firmware addresses the random write issue if I understand things right. The...

    Intel X25-E drive

    Yeah I noticed that intel has not put out the firmware update for the X25-E drive. Don't understand why this would be the case. So are you saying that even "degraded" the E drive is better than the "updated" X25-M drive? Do you think the M drives would only need a firmware update for the TRIM...

    Intel X25-E drive

    Does the X25-E SLC drive get affected by the write performance degradation? if so, how much would the loss in performance be? I am thinking of getting a X25-E vs X25-M. This will help my decision to buy now or wait for drives with the TRIM command maybe? Thanks for any help.

    asking for opinions

    Hey I have the PC in sig below: Was gonna ask if there is any point in going RAID-0 with my two Velociraptors or just using the SSD for my system drive or just use one Velociraptor for my main OS. I looked at some sites with Old Raptors in Raid-0 and most conclusions say there is no point to...

    advice on upgrade

    am gonna upgrade very soon....(this month or next month at the latest) need recs on: CPU (E8400 vs Q9450) Mobo: don't know what to get, am soooo confused....heard p35 will OC to FSB of 450 and X38 only good if you want SLI or CF (am not interested to do SLI/CF), if P35 is enough, what mobo...

    X3320 (Q9300) and X3350 (Q9450) available!

    so is the x3350 is essentially a socket 775 xeon? would it work in a mobo "supporting" the q9450 ( or 45nm quads)? it would be nice to have a thread where we can post mobos which support the xeons/penryns along with the bios revisions (and shop where it was bought) for us people waiting to...

    hardware disk controller with cache

    Anyone here with any suggestions on a hardware raid/disk controller with on-board cache? preferably with a dimm slot (so it can be expanded - ram so cheap nowadays) - you may also recommend one with just on board cache w/o a dimm slot, coz they're generally cheaper. cost is an issue though hope...

    making intel build soon

    thanks for the great advice......btw...I do have 4GB of OCZ DDR2-800. Hope there's nothing wrong with that. Anyway, isn't there an option in those BIOSes to lock the DRAM speed? or is there? I believe my ram can do the 1066 with some voltage.

    making intel build soon

    So only the X38 does crossfire and only an nvidia chipset does SLI.....from what I heard the 780i is only a rebadged 680i or something.... ...anyway, I think the penryn CPUs (yorkfields) should easily reach 3.6++ Ghz the question is in order to do that on a Q9450 (with an 8x multi) what kind...

    uh.....anyone there with any more suggestions? What chipset should I get?

    making intel build soon

    what do you mean by "a memory standard 1066 mobo"? Can't you change the DRAM speed settings anyway to keep the memory in spec? The OCZ I have can run at 1066 though.

    making intel build soon

    Been putting off an upgrade for a while but now will take the intel plunge. I will be making my build in Q1 of 2008 and would like your opinion on the ff: thanks in advance to those kind enough to offer their advice. :) 1) Q6600 vs Q9450. which do you think is a better buy? I intend to OC...

    may i ask for some help?

    good points. but to clarify my point, the FSB speed of the CPU is what I am worried about. I mean to OC a significant amount, you would have to set the FSB of the CPU to insanely high levels like an FSB of 1600 or beyond. I wonder how the penryn generation will tolerate such FSB's. going up...
  16. M

    may i ask for some help?

    thanks for all the responses. I actually am debating between G0 Q6600 vs Q9450 from an OC standpoint (assuming the price is not too far apart). I am just wondering with the higher FSB and therefore lower multi how far an OC i can get with the Q9450...FSB already at 1333. It is 45nm though.

    may i ask for some help?

    Will be buying a quad core cpu for my bro and myself. He wants a Q6600, G0 stepping: How do I find out what stepping the CPU is and if I buy from an etailer here in the US, how can I tell, I'm buying a G0 stepping. I am waiting for a Penryn (45nm) CPU. Do you think it's advisable to wait...

    AT Barcelona previews are up

    Barcelona is really more of a server chip. Just look at the AT review, it's around 20-25% faster than clovertown (in most disciplines) and loses by about 5-10% to intel on certain benchmarks (some of which are heavily intel optimized). It scales better too which will negate that small deficit...

    well, it's less than 24 hrs to go. For all who've given their 2cents worth on how barcelona will compare with C2D clock for clock, we'll soon find out who got it right....for those who haven't tried yet, there's still time. :) let's hope to great competition again for the benefit of us...

    Barcelona Prediction Thread

    Okay, there have been benchies out there but no one really knows how this will play out. There has also been a big discussion on the scaling issue. BUT anyway, why don't we post our estimates and see who can come closest to the real thing. We'll divide the estimates based on the following...

    AMD is awefully quiet about Barcelona, wonder if it's a good sign.

    been an AMD user for years after Pentium-II, and I've got to say that I'm waiting for Barc to see if I should go Penryn for my next upgrade.... Anyway, I think the recent developments point to bad signs from AMD....why? 1) why would Henri Richard quit AMD just days before the Barc launch...

    Poll: Best GPU+CPU combo to get in August, assuming Barcelona/Phenom is out?

    AMD traditionally has the better performance/$$ ratio at price points where they have products that compete. It doesn't account for OC'ing though. So since we don't know how OC'able the Phenom chips would be (and how much performance advantage per clock (if any) they'd have over the C2D?penryn...

    K10 Barcelona 50% faster than Kentsfield ?

    some rumors....(which could be facts) 1. Agena FX (Quad core) can OC to 3.05 Ghz 2. It's TDP is 95w 3. The QX6800 TDP is 130w (intel - typical TDP) or estimated by AMD at 150w (max TDP) links: http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=663&Itemid=1...

    Second Core Running Slower Than First?

    i don't have a dual core cpu but i have an idea: try running orthos or prime95 on core1 only and see what happens. maybe the shared l2 cache is being all used up by core0 ? just an uneducated guess.

    AMD and Intel

    @gOJDO They don't need spies once the "specs" are released. but what about spies for let's say... sneaking out an ES to bench and get "realworld" estimates of performance. wouldn't that enable the company improve their design if it wasn't enough or maybe adjust clock bins/launch frequencies...

    AMD and Intel

    Not when they benchmarked C2D against A64FX (which was the first time they actually benchmarked a system against a "competitor's" cpu - they even Oc'd it.
  32. M

    AMD and Intel

    Good points but: 1) Intel did release C2D benches against an OC'd FX 6 months prior to launch. 2) I think intel was worried about AMD (i don't know it it was "seriously worried") that's why we have C2D chips now. That's why we have this brutal price war now.

    Is AMD a sinking ship? Far from it.

    I'm not sure about AMD raping everyone with the X2....I mean, sure they priced them expensively (300+ for the 3800+) but one way of looking at it is that they priced it comparatively to intel's offerings: The cheap (but underperforming) P-Ds. remember, Intel has the dominant market share so they...

    AMD and Intel

    it is true that money is better spent on research but the money you'd spend for paying a "spy" would not compare to the R&D budget to begin with. I also agree with you that there are friends each work in the other company. They also have a cross-licensing agreement anyway. It is just intriguing...

    AMD and Intel

    Do you think AMD has "spies" on Intel CPU teams or vice versa? I mean, do you think Intel knows actual performance characteristics of K8L? or will AMD know the performance of Penryn (if it is already running)? I mean for C2D, Intel released public benchmarks 6 months before they launched so AMD...

    Out of the game. K8L - what we know?

    K8L will come in native-quad, dual and solo cores. There is no hard info available on whether it will be faster than C2D on a core-per-core, or ipc standpoint. AM2 boards will be compatible with AM2+ CPUs (AM2 CPUs will work with AM2+ boards) I think you will lose some functionality like...

    Reason for Brisbane's increased L2 latency

    Just like everyone here, this move really puzzles me. BUT let us not forget that there was probably a reason for all this. The new core is slower for sure but if this move meant something for the future (K8L and derivatives) then it will be a welcome move. remember no matter what they do to K8...

    Core 2 Price cuts coming Q207

    the price cuts sound really good. I am about to make an upgrade but decided to wait till Q2 to see if any K8L benches come up and see if it is indeed the time before turning to the dark side.
