Avast, ye mangy sea-dogs! The land-lubbers be talkin' about the P4 Extreme Edition that Intel be braggin' about. It be a 3.2GHz P4 with an additional 2MB of L3 cache. Sound familiar? It should, ye barnacle-boilers, it's basically a XeonMP in S478 format. More info here and here on TheInq. Thar be a thread in our Intel Hardware forum here with the opinions of your fellow shipmates. Intel say the chips are 60 days away so there's no reviews or anything yet of course. If I were a skeptical pirate, I'd say it's just Intel trying to defuse the interest in AMD's Athlon64 launch on the 24th, next week. Speaking of which, PCStats have an article about AMD64 and what we can expect. Yarrr!
We cast a beady eye over ABIT's IC7-MAX3 here last week and found it scurvy-free with a billowing sail. Hardware-Test have their opinion posted now, as do those wily buccaneers over at ViperLair.
In all my years at sea, never before did I see a PC that's so very, very blue. It's like Close Encounters or something, yarrr.
Xbit plundered some more surprises from Intel's Developer Forum.
Dan has reviewed coolers three, for your socketA CPU they be.
Flickerdown have carved into the deck an article that is an attempt to look at the failure of benchmarking as a standard of truth from the psychological perspective. Righto then. Yarr?
In other news, the dread pirate Decker noticed that Google is powered by pigeons, those flying rats of the urban sea.
In case you hadn't noticed, today is International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Casey made a flash animation to celebrate. A few forum threads, then it's back to the briny depths for me. Harrr!
Interesting Forum Threads:
Fake AMD chips! in AMD Hardware.
Boot order of SCSI controllers in Linux in Other Operating Systems.
