I don't believe it! I just arrived for my daily feeding frenzy of Inq. and get to these comments... WTF?

Are people trying to emulate that looney 'Drashek' OR is the looney 'Drashek' still fouling up my entertainment?

Being a programmer I thought about trying to create a text/word generator with some kind of coherance similar to that of what we see with Senor Ultie. I came to the conclusion that producing the functional requirement specification for something so dis-jointed, so 'all-over-the-place' was going to be impossible. Imagine trying to create a 'Drashek' algorithm using the laws of chaos? As for people trying to copy this freak I would very much like to understand their method of analysis. Please help me.....

Failing the above; I have looked into ways of tracking down this &*%£ (words fail me - wish it was the same for Ultie) and breaking down the door to his hovel/asylum entering the room where his PC is running, pulling out the plug and ramming it into a very dark place!!!!!

OK, I've calmed down now....I think.

Inq. please, please, very pretty please with nice berries on the top, stop this thing posting anymore comments? It's putting me off my coffee and leading to starvation at lunchtime due to lack of appetite.

Many thanks and hopes in advance,

Dave The (Ultie) Rave xxx

Intel_Ultie is a convicted pedophile aka Drashek, with maggots instead of brains inside the cranium.


Umm, "Hector", <anything>_Ultie was that "drashek" bellend with his tedious Nonsense Rambling With Odd CAPITALISATION, last I checked :-)

Anyway, interesting article, surprisingly thoughtful and not at all spittle-flecked, unlike some of the stuff around here (ahem, Charlie, please drink less coffee, dude). La Intella is going to have a lot of Penryn units to shift before they can carpet bomb with the new stuff, but I am sure they'll find a way to squeeze a ton of profit out of the situation, even if it means worse chips for us poor proles. That said, the new parts sound mighty fine, can't wait to take some for a spin.

WTF are you saying? I've seen your comments on other sites as well. The similarities are uncanny. Ever heard of that saying...how did it go again...? Oh yeah.

"English, motha------. You speak it?"

Easy to make up lots of nifty techy product/concept names: QuickPath, QuickRing, QuickBus, QuickBand, QuickWire, QuickSwitch, QuickBox, QuickCard, QuickTech, QuickSpew ...

Is there any ACTUAL data on the Osbourne effect? Every generation you hear "they have to be careful, you know the whole Osbourne effect, blah, blah, blah"

Intel will follow their recent gameplan on product rollouts. As Nehalem is bigger (and probably lower yielding) than an MCM Penryn, expect the focus to be almost exclusively on server land (where the gains will also be most noticeable) with a handful of parts, high prices and shortages on desktop. 

Unlike AMD, I think Intel understands the early adopters usually will pay through the nose and sell a few pints of blood for performance, so launching energy efficient, non high end chips 'because customers are demanding it' (stifles laughter thinking that AMD actually believed folks would not see right through that crap), will not be happening.

At some point in 09, the extreme Penryn parts will disappear (if Nehalem hasn't surpassed it significantly on clockspeeds) and Penryn will become the blunt 'low end' quad instrument for Intel to see if they can push Phenoms into the 2 digit price category.

You will also not see 3500 SKU's of Nehalem quads! Would you like to try our 3.115GHz or the 3.120GHz product? Would you like that to be the black, blue or black and blue edition? How about a 1.8GHz chip?

This Intel_Ultie guy is clearly channelling Drashek. God help us. Oh right, processors. Monopoly? Stupid code-names? Can't wait until next year for the latest Intel masterpiece, codenamed "J. K. Willington Fortescue-Smythe" with an even more ridiculously large cache. Nothing against Intel, it's just boring when the big guy is winning all the time. It's exactly what you'd expect and isn't really that impressive. On the other hand it does show just how much better foreign engineers are than home-grown ones these days.

What the fuck are these two last comments about?!

I would dispute the claim that uniprocessing Penryn's are not yet saturating the bus. Unless that comment was meant to be restricted to native dual cores, my benchmarking of our memory-write-intensive neural network software has indicated very poor scaling from 2 cores to quad cores.

Firefox's anti-Drashek addon would filter the headache-inducing post above.

Well, for a start, I'm not going to rant rubbish like the posts above.

Intels main cncern is selling up curent Penryn stock, so in my opinion, the should start selling the Nehalem a an Opteronj competitior, and try to infiltrate the high end server market. I mean, finally they have a product with the memory bandwidth to compete with Opteron - and the computational horse-power also.

It wint effect Penryn slaes, as Penryn is almost mid-range pricing, even for high end parts.

I dont believe they have anything to worry about -especially on the desktop front, where Penryn is still the best performer.

And as the high end parts will be priced out of most [even enthusiast] people's pocket, they need to get their strategy right, and try make an impact in a market where change does not happen unless necessary [high end server etc].

The CPU looks great, looks like a good performer - but better than an overclocked Penryn?? We have to wait and see

Great article, shame it seems to have attracted comments from the gibberish/markov chain brigade. Is there no way to get rid of drashek? He isn't clever or funny, hell, he's barely coherent.

I, for one, welcome our new Intel overlords, and hope they get the parts on shelves this year, forcing the price of Penryns down. It's a shame that AMD aren't snapping at their heels right now, or it wouldn't be an issue..

Razor Blades? Penny apiece. Some cutting up of Santa Claus & Nahalem will be Final. its 700 million transistors. Basicly finalization of XP Core/NT5. (NOT Ultimate, NOT Extreme)

Big Steps are 6 memory slots with TOP(not all) being 32 Gb/s bandwidth. in 3d '6 thats new TOP of 32,000. Ddr3 is clunky ~1.3Gb/s

Yet it is merely end of long line of CPU improvements from K7, while real Game has Shifted to Dunnington, 
if You Got Cash, at 2 billion transistors. Bit high for Poor to report upon, why else is travel, often by internet fantasy, so important. Getting FREE Dunnington costs up to $2,700. or its Wholesle equivalent. So Go Figure & Remeber:Fall Isn't Today & Next year is mightly LONG Flat Spot. ALL TIME VISTA ULTIMATE SALES LIE DORMANT.

I’m tryin to make me go to Pennryn
I said "No! No! Forget it! No!"
This looks very dangerous to me. 
I'm not picking up dog sh!t. I'm a rock star.
We're the Osbournes. And I love it.

What do you want me to do with my [gflops] Sharon? Put it under my bed?
Turn that thing off, its driving me mad!!
I need 'em. I need every one.

Listen to me, I'm dead serious!

I'm not from the Mickey Mouse Club-I'm from the Chipzilla Club
I'm the Prince of fncking Darkness! 
I'm the pre-announcement bogeyman that scares new marketing people!
Being sober on a bus is,
like, totally different than being drunk on a bus.

Sandy Bridge wasn't in vogue with what they wanted to do at this time... We have people out there on the internet and in the clubs, throwing good money after bad, that people are excited about. I want to know what the kids are into, because I don't trust the industry. Northstar was built like a tank!

Occupation mission creep. It could be 2011, 100 years, as long as it takes, to be victorious in an unwinnable dollar.
