albertlee Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 Below is the company which produces CPU Intel AMD VIA Cyrix Transmeta IBM/Motorola for Mac Can any one tell me about their speciallities on CPU of each company? I just want to know the purpose of each CPU from different company...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 Their purpose? To compete and make money. Captain Obvious Award!
Tesseract Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 Below is the company which produces CPU Intel AMD VIA Cyrix Transmeta IBM/Motorola for Mac Can any one tell me about their speciallities on CPU of each company? I just want to know the purpose of each CPU from different company... Well I say the best ones are intel and AMD but the AMD line of processors are better, especially the 64 and ,the 64-fx which is faster that the pentium 4 3.2 GHz special edition.
Crash Posted June 13, 2004 Posted June 13, 2004 Well AMDs got the multitasking going on...... Intel has the cooler running CPU.... VIA is cheap Dont know about MAcs
admiral_ju00 Posted June 13, 2004 Posted June 13, 2004 I'd love to get my hands on one of those Intel Itanium CPU's/Systems. That would rock!
albertlee Posted June 13, 2004 Author Posted June 13, 2004 Sorry for asking again.... I just want to know what is the main advantages of Transmeta? Albert
jgerlica Posted June 13, 2004 Posted June 13, 2004 Question: why buy a first gen 64 bit processor when most software extant is 32?
bloodhound Posted June 13, 2004 Posted June 13, 2004 Well I say the best ones are intel and AMD but the AMD line of processors are better, especially the 64 and ,the 64-fx which is faster that the pentium 4 3.2 GHz special edition. i would doubt that http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/20031223/index.html for benchmarks and reviews
Tesseract Posted June 13, 2004 Posted June 13, 2004 i would doubt that http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/20031223/index.html for benchmarks and reviews Could you summerize that for me I havent the time...
Tesseract Posted June 13, 2004 Posted June 13, 2004 Question: why buy a first gen 64 bit processor when most software extant is 32? Actually its more like all software...give or take. The answer is :because its fast.
albertlee Posted June 14, 2004 Author Posted June 14, 2004 Again...... what are the main advantages of Transmeta's CPU? Albert
admiral_ju00 Posted June 14, 2004 Posted June 14, 2004 http://news.com.com/2100-1040_3-5062464.html?tag=fd_top http://transmeta.com/efficeon/efficeon_tm8620.html http://transmeta.com/efficeon/faq.html I still say that Itanium is better or better yet in a league of it's own, here's some info on that. But that's a whole new level of power and money. http://intel.com/products/server/processors/server/itanium2/index.htm But if you want someone to do a detailed comparison between the P4, Athlon, Transmeta's cpu's designed for PC's, then it'll take more time than I have or want to dedicate to this. The above websites should tell you the advantages of their new cpu.
albertlee Posted June 14, 2004 Author Posted June 14, 2004 as far I am aware, Transmeta's CPU has a main advantage of less power consumption..... Any way, What would a 64bits and 32bits CPU with same speed differ in performance? what will the amount of bits do to the CPU and the softwares? Albert
Dave Posted June 14, 2004 Posted June 14, 2004 I still say that Itanium is better or better yet in a league of it's own, here's some info on that. But that's a whole new level of power and money. I was under the impression that the Athlon64s and Opterons decimated the Itaniums?
albertlee Posted June 14, 2004 Author Posted June 14, 2004 as far I am aware' date=' Transmeta's CPU has a main advantage of less power consumption..... Any way, What would a 64bits and 32bits CPU with same speed differ in performance? what will the amount of bits do to the CPU and the softwares? Albert[/quote'] Any body can explain to that? Albert
albertlee Posted June 14, 2004 Author Posted June 14, 2004 If my question is not clear to answer..... then as simple as possible, what will the amount of bits do to the performance of CPU and software? more over, Why people invent CPU with more bits from the beginning till now? rather than the speed? apreciate in advance Albert
Tesseract Posted June 14, 2004 Posted June 14, 2004 If my question is not clear to answer..... then as simple as possible' date=' [b']what will the amount of bits do to the performance of CPU and software?[/b] more over, Why people invent CPU with more bits from the beginning till now? rather than the speed? apreciate in advance Albert Here: bits=amounts of information frequency(speed)=speed at which information is transmitted more bits=more information taken So a 64bit processor with only 2GHz frequency is as fast as a 32bit processor with 4GHz frequency. If Im wrong correct me.
jgerlica Posted June 14, 2004 Posted June 14, 2004 Charles Babbage's analytical engine would blow the Athalon out of the water
Tesseract Posted June 14, 2004 Posted June 14, 2004 The best commuter system would be something like Hal9000, becasue it talks back...would need a nice monitor though.
Tesseract Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 think hal would pass the turing test? turing test?
albertlee Posted June 15, 2004 Author Posted June 15, 2004 Finally....Thanks to every one who has answered my questions.... I know many information about CPU right now but...last question... If I buy an Athlon 64 CPU, is there windows xp 64? if not, then it really is not worth to use....... if so, where do I buy windows xp 64? and what is it really called? Albert

Albert The XP line of AMD CPU's are completely different from the 64bit AMD's theyre different processors.But both work for the windows XP OS.The only difference between the XP line and the 64 line is that the XP has 32 bits.
