Both nVidia and AMD will use HBM 2 in their 2016 flagship graphics cards.
Currently, AMD is using HBM 1 in their Fury X card.

Because AMD helped develop HBM memory, they will have 'priority...

I'd like to hear your thoughts on what 2016 will bring :) (skip down to below the line if you're too lazy to read it all)

Wow.... those numbers are insanely fast :)
My 9600GT (only 64 Cuda cores) takes about 1800 seconds to make 130 credits (SETI@home).... however, as slow as it is... it is about 10x faster than a...

I've just come back too but have been having hardware/software problems, so I've stopped crunching just as I started again. However today I started again and hopefully everything is sorted out.

Good day to everyone :)

To cut a long story short... I'll be upgrading my CPU from an Athlon x2 6000+ (Brisbane) to an Athlon II x4 635 (2.9Ghz).
Hopefully it will be based on the Deneb core...

Happy 4th July to all those who celebrate it :yay:

Hi everyone. I haven't been here for quite a while, but I've reinstalled BOINC and am back in the fight :)

Hi everyone. I'm wondering if anyone knows a solution to this problem.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you really want to run a top-of-the-line AMD CPU properly, and overclock it as well, shouldn't you be using a top-of-the-line motherboard: meaning something with an...

My 2 cents...
I assume that the life of the hard drive would be significantly better, but I think it will "age" somewhat. Make sure you place it in an anti-static bag, keep away from magnetic fields...

I think that those temperature readings are incorrect, and that something needs to be updated to get more accurate results.

The reason is as follows:

Unless you are using a high end water...

As I understand it, Windows XP sees about 3.2GB of RAM.
However, there is something else to consider. Windows Vista 32 bit uses more RAM than XP does. Vista 64 bit uses even more.

Does anybody know why AMD has not yet released an X2 Phenom, when it will be released, at what speeds? (I searched Google with no luck).
Also, what is the main factor for not being able to get...

In my opinion, there is only one thing that is important when looking to buy a CPU, and it has nothing to do with the following:

Clock speed in Mhz
Cache
FSB
number of cores

The bios setting I use is 1.35V and CPU-Z says I am at 1.392V.

Just for the record, the Athlon that I have right now is an F2 stepping.

I currently have an X2 4200+ overclocked to 2.8Ghz with the stock cooler.

I want to upgrade the CPU without spending too much money, and I do not want to spend money on extra cooling.

If you want better performance in Crysis, I think you would be better off going SLI with a second 8800GT, than with a CPU upgrade.

If you must upgrade your CPU for whatever reason, take a look at...

33-38 seems just fine for a dual core chip.

63C is hot (my temps with a 4200+ @ 2.8Ghz - under load)

If you are buying a new system, an Intel quad core is the better choice. The slowest Intel Core 2 Quad is 2.66Ghz, which is significantly faster than any current AMD phenom, or future phenom to come...

I don't know exactly how relevant this is, but it is a similar example from the past.

When it was first released, the 8600GT was slower than the 7600GT in basically all benchmarks. As time went...

I was browsing the net when I found the following review of the 9800GTX:...

Unfortuneatlely it isn't always that simple. Splitting up the workload into two roughly equal parts can be done relatively easily, but getting a game to utilize all four cores equally is quite hard....

Another mistake AMD made was not making a 65nm Athlon X2 with 2 x 1MB cache. At the moment they only have 2 x 512KB with 65nm. Neoanderthal, I agree. I am also wondering where the new dual core chips...

Maybe not everyone likes the style of writing I used for this post, so I will ask two simple questions:
