What CPU for low power NAS

The obvious choice, and I'm surprised no one has suggested it, would be either a dual or quad core Kabini all-in-one solution which is pretty much the modernized successor to the Brazos. Here are some example boards coming...

upgrading to an amd fx from a phenom x4.

I know it's more expensive (and higher TDP), but an FX 6350 might be an option as well? Didn't sound like overclocking was necessarily going to be involved and at stock that chip's 400MHz base over the 6300.

Nvidia/AMD/VIA leave Sysmark company Bapco

An agnostic tool like this already exists. It's called Linux. :)

AMD 1090T BE Processor and 1055T (Thuban) tested

Er, hold on there.....was it a dream, or did my thirteen-year old junior high nephew somehow get a hold of one of the moderator accounts here? Seriously though, these chips are certainly a step in the right direction for AMD. If they can overcome the emotional trauma of a potential raping...

Niagara2 (UltraSPARC T2) Information

I'm a UNIX admin and manage all manner of IBM POWER and Sun SPARC gear. The question would be, what are the specs of your current V880 (# processors/speed, memory) and what are the specs of the new T-series machine you're looking at buying (which model machine, what config)? For a database...

What is your oldest working cpu

MOS 6502 @ 1.79MHz in an Atari 800. One of the truly great legacy processors used in some truly great machines back in the day.

AMD Instanbul 6 core demoed

Two things: 1. Yes, my research is based on my own personal experience with the platform as I actually own the hardware in question. I'd hazard a guess that's more than you can say as you probably don't actually own any of this type of hardware, or at least, didn't experience this particular...

AMD Instanbul 6 core demoed

The only 'upgrade debacle' that might have happened would have been if some uninformed oaf tried to upgrade their system with a new processor without first investigating their BIOS support for it. I've got an older ASUS MN2 SLI Deluxe board. AM2 socket. Nvidia nForce570 chipset. The...

Is Phenom X4 9950 a good processor?

I think it's the manner in which 'requesting the information' is done then. The wording of the original response was: 'Is there any reason for going AMD and not Intel if you're building a new rig?' That would be in contrast to something like 'If you're building a new rig you should really...

Is Phenom X4 9950 a good processor?

I'm sure there are several possible reasons. It could be personal platform preference, a desire to support the underdog, distaste for Intel's business practices, simple ignorance of mainstream opinion on Intel vs. AMD processor performance, total ambivalence to synthetic benchmarks, etc. I...

Shanghai now shipping

I don't think it's that hard to beat. How about this T5440 system 4 physical CPUs, 32 physical cores, and 256 SIMULTANEOUS THREADS Yeah, I know, not an x86 architecture, and not as fast single-thread performance, but still, a parallel serving MONSTER in a 4U box. There's still innovation...

AMD says new 'Shanghai' chip is ready to go

Actually, I was asking you that question as you're the one that somehow framed the original statement as a valid technology opinion. If I wasn't using a modicum of respect I would have used the name calling and generalized statements everyone else seems to resort to. I simply mentioned that...

AMD says new 'Shanghai' chip is ready to go

I laughed at the logic used here. How does making some general, sweeping statement about the fortunes of a company's future, not-yet-realized product ('I have already pre-judged something which doesn't yet exist') constitute a proper 'statement of opinion' about a technology in a technical...
