even if AMD solve the TLB bug, still it need to sacrifice the performance...
we can see it through the TLB patch...
even the up coming B3 still got the TLB bug...
even the up coming triple core B2 still got the TLB bug...
even the Phenom 9600 BE max can go up to 2.6ghz...
AMD lost to Intel not juz in performance, even in Efficiency...
lookie here:
http://en.thethirdmedia.com/Article/200801...w7315c12p1.htmlthe upcoming intel nehelem some rumour say that it will not use FSB anymore... some say that it will use something like the AMD HTT...
somemore problem for AMD...
with their 5 billion debt for buying ATi, i dun think AMD could survive... but as long as there are still unbreakable AMD fans, hopefully AMD can last a while longer...
even i read somewhere that IBM will maybe buying AMD (rumours.. not sure whether its true or not..)
well for those who wants performance, better switch sides juz for a while until AMD can get back on its feet... hehehehe...
AMD disappoint me... waited for phenom hoping that it will at least be OCable to 3.6 or maybe 4.0 but... haih...
and yes.. to OC AMD is thrilling... still remember back in the old AthlonXp days...
but.. but... i like AMD... before this it never disappoint me... still doubting myself whether go to the darkside or not... haih...
Added on February 26, 2008, 5:14 pmi dun think that the upcoming tri-core can clock better... they are still using the B2 batch for the tri-core...
well.. we can wait and see... coming soon Q2-Q3 2008
fyi bro, i just switched back from intel to amd, thou it was just an e2140, but after oc it managed swept most of d f3 in terms of super pi and some other benchmark softwares. but still i prefer amd in term of $$$ (realistic am i

), other than that oc w intel is just too bored for me, mebe d oc was effortless thats i can't find much joy playin w it.
for sure amd won't catch up w intel (in term of performance, but $$$ wise

) so soon, even w b3 users still need to accept d fact intel is far more superior. amd will survive for sure, else intel will monopolize d cpu market which is something shouldn't happened (else intel will sell their chips @ even higher $$$).
as for d tri-core, i just hope that there'll be few batches that can clock like d f3 we have here. ofcoz am not askin all tri-core phenoms can clock like mad coz that's too imposible. imagine all am2 x2 can clock like f3, will there be ppl buyin higher / highest end like be or x2 5x00/6x00...
