Sju Athlon64-moderkort

precis köpt!... därför läser man inte den skitsidan

Det går inte bra för AMD, Opteron har tydligen bara 0,7% av servermarknaden.

"According to this article the number of Opteron servers shipped in Q3 was more than twice the number of Itanium servers (10,746 Opteron vs. 4,957 Itanium). The bad news is that more than double of miniscule is still very, very small. Server sales in Q3 were 1.37 million units, so Opteron would account for less than 1% of the total."

öhm, hörru, vad fasikens har det med denna nyhet att göra? hittade du inget bättre ställe att sprida propaganda eller vad det nu är?

SVAR:
Undrar just hur många Opteron man sålt och hur många man gett bort.
"And there's another thing. While both AMD and Intel have had high profile wins on clusters and in different locations, there's a difference between selling a chip through the normal channels, and persuading academia or a high profile corporate customer to kindly accept some 64-bit chips so that the 64-bit X86 battle between AMD and Intel gets yet more publicity"

AMD roar sig tydligen med att göra livet komplicerat för dess kunder.
"The FX line apparently does not get updated until the 90nm process arrives, gifting us with San Diego. There is a clear differentiation between FX and plain AMD64, and Newcastle is the point of departure. There is however, a dark side.
Winchester, the Newcastle followup, is only a 939 pin product, while the AthlonXP, is listed as 754 only. What this means is that AMD is going to put its socket strategy in the blender, and confuse everybody again.
What was a low end, 754, high end, 939, and server 940, has changed. Low end is 754, and according to this roadmap, turns the XP line into what the Duron was, cheap, no stigma.
The mid range and the high end become one, all using the same socket 939. Thinking about this made my head hurt so badly I couldn't write this article for several hours. If you buy a 939 board with one memory channel, and an FX chip, you potentially lose half your RAM bandwidth, and the reason you spent the extra $300. Someone must be Crank-y with this marketing gem.
On the other hand, if you buy a 939/64, and plug it into a dual channel socket, will the second DIMM work? I can see tech support headaches and RMAs galore here. The socket strategy that seemed so bright now doesn't seem quite that smart, I can't think of an upside.
Now, will the current 754 owners have an upgrade path in the second half of 2004? Will Palermo be a good vacation spot, or will you need to go to Toledo to get good frame rates? Worst of all, why do the long range roadmaps list Egypt, Italy and Denmark as having Socket 9xx variants? My head hurts again. µ"
