[Adam Warren]

i have a pentium 4 with h/t 3.20 ghz. and i am pleased, i was going to get an amd fx, but i never, which is better?

Which FX? The FX-57 is the best processor in the world, and the FX-55 is second. But they are amazingly expensive, though.

BTW, you can't put one of those in an intel board, fyi

The FX-57 is the best processor in the world

I wouldn't go that far. Best desktop processor maybe

They have them for laptops?

 

[Cromewell]

maybe I don't remember, but I was thinking about server processors

I'm guessing he meant that for commercially available desktop CPUs (ie no supercomputers, prototypes or anything)

Oh, OK

Would the FX-53?

lol obviously any cpu with double the ammount of piplines would take just a 32 bit "ordinary" cpu

there is only 1 pipeline (it splits but it rejoins before the end) as for the rest I don't quite understand what you're saying...

Where the hell do you pull your information from?? Perhaps you should have a look:

No. Does it matter?

You're not suggesting Opteron and Xeon rigs are not commercially available are you?

LOL the silliness ensues .... *when will people quit talking crap -- the goddamn processor doesnt even exist yet*

Would the FX-53?

Would the FX53 what?

Pipelines?? No CPU, from revision to revision, even between AMD and Intel has double the pipelines of a related comparable chip. Period.


*Steps back and looks at all the posts*

*WOW*


In either case, in light of all the wrong information here, and the overlapping coverage, have a look at http://www.computerforum.com/showthread.php?t=4346
