I thought this deserves a new thread... The first Barcelona on SETI The second Barcelona on SETI Andy. 3 Letters: L.O.L who? You started it! Let's see if they walk the talk, and if they are as scary as you give the impression they are. I don't think you have too much to worry about for crunching, but performance per watt matters more on big server farms than raw cpu power, and you have penryn and harpertown on the way. Let's face it, if they hadn't set off a stick of opteron dynamite under your a$$es, we'd all still be using P4s, or abacusses! ID: 638218 ·

Let's face it, if they hadn't set off a stick of opteron dynamite under your a$$es, we'd all still be using P4s, or abacusses! Well, I am tired of hearing "we are 35% faster than ... bla bla bla on Floating point" and then: Cinebench, Povray on techreport Even in 3DSMax (on Anand), when it is compare to a similar frequency CPU, it does not win. In the case of anand, he started to use a application that nobody knows ... bottom line, Cinebench, Povray, 3DSMax all show that Core 2 rocks! and NOBODY is 35% faster. It is time that fake marketing stop and real result speaks. Let's look at applications that people use, like Cinebench, Povray, 3DSMax, SETI, and now you know what rocks and what sucks. The Fan boys now can see that they were mislead. Sorry, this part is not my doing, I just push the fact on the table. Relaxed Who? in Cote d'azure, France. ID: 638234 ·

I like passion - and heck, there's a little space for brand loyalty - but there's gonna come a time whrn it boils down to cold hard fact. Most of us use a machine/group of machines and/or processors because they're fit for purpose, I think. Including Boinc. To give a rather simplistic view - If I can do what I want to do, without slowdown or interruption, and seti as well, I'd be a happy chappy. :) That's the dream. Respects, Slugbug :) ID: 638299 ·

Greetings from Germany NRW Ulli Well, I run 64bit Linux and optimized app on this one giving me about 15-20% advantage over win/stock-app. Now do the calculation yourself... Sorry, Ulli das sieht nicht gut aus. I use both, Intel and AMD - and from my experience - Intel works better for Seti. On the other hand RieselSieve seems to favour AMD cpus... mic. ID: 638376 ·

V1.0 of anything has problems lets not forget dos 6.0 or the pentium that couldnt do math ( OMG Not Intel ) I say give it 6 months and we'll see Core 2 Conroe rocks from the beginning. You can't claim to beat your competitor if you don't, and it is what Randy Allen and co do every day now. He needs to get some glasses to look at the numbers. I am sorry for the fan boys, i understand the passion going for brand A or B, i try to say it smoothly without hurting, but the fan boys were mislead by strange claims that nobody can reproduce, look at the youtube videos! 40% faster everywhere, it is where k10 was claim to be. every time i show numbers, people can reproduce them, i actually always let them measure them. sorry for the message, but the truth need to be known. in 6 months, i am going to have heavy improvement too on SETI. and yes, i want to see a custom version of SETI for K10, for fair comparaision with my sse4 version, when it gets available. who?

We (the posting seti community) have yet to get our hands on one or two of the new opterons. We can observe a handfull, but we don't know the type of memory used, speed of it, the clockspeeds of the processors (we can theorize that they should be stock), if the power planes feature is activated and so on. Obviously this release from AMD is not all the company (and fan base) hoped for, but I defenately think it is enough to make for an interesting fall. It may well prove a competitive platform, price wise, for about the same performance. Reasonable pricing of the cpus, lower power requirements & no need for FBDIMMs... @Who? You really don't need to prove anything, the capabilities of the Core2 architecture does not crumble to dust just because the competition stiffens a bit. ID: 638735 ·
