Hammer exposed, but is Tom?

They say twtan14 has noting to do with them and is just a member they have no control over. He's just one of 80,000 members, it seems.

Not like the INQUIRER forum here, then, the members of which we regularly drink beer with, as the evidence here shows.

Twat14n is just the third most regular poster of stuff on their site, it seems. Wonder how many of those postings we wrote…

Anyhow, back to more serious matters, like Hammers.

Tecchannel has laid bare all the facts you might like to learn about AMD's forthcoming heavy-duty tool. You might have to learn German first though, or run this little lot through a translator. No rumours and myths, they say. These are the facts.

And here are pictures purporting to be of a Clawhammer engineering sample from a Belgian site. Coo! Of course, we always knew it was faked... : )

HardOCP has a nice little piece on 2400+ TBred overclocking. The 2400+s are may not be on sale yet, they say but "here is a glimpse of what they might deliver performance-wise when they show up." Wibble this way.

Motherboards.org puts an AMD Athlon XP 2600+ up against a Intel Pentium 4 2.53GHz over here.

K-Hardware say they expect a 2+GHz Celeron next week over hier , in German, of course.

There's a review of Shuttle's AS45 v2.1 (SiS 648) Motherboard over here at T-Break.com.

Techspot looks at FIC's VC19 Advanced Intel i845e motherboard over here.

Nvidiers Adam Foat and Andrew Humber are interrogated by UkGamers over here. Not a lot we don't know, but at least its in English…

And there's a nice piece looking at the dark, cavernous pathway to your computer's very soul" that is its BIOS, on Arstechnica over here.

Couldn't avoid the gossip for too long though. And here we are back with Tom's Hardware's look at Pentium 4s running at over 3GHz.

Hothardware wants to know if the "benchmarks and analysis shown (are) legitimate and accurate."

"We all know that the 3.3GHz and 3.6GHz Pentium 4s on Intel's roadmap will have Hyperthreading enabled, so where are the SMP benchmarks Tom??? And why does that 3.3GHz P4 chip you show, have the markings of a 2GHz CPU???", they ask.

They make their case for the prosecution over here. "We're hoping Tom can explain things here but we're not sure how this situation can be reasoned into something that looks like reality or the truth," they say.

Joining the fray is K-Hardware. In a strongly-worded piece over here, they demand to know the truth of the truth, or something, in the name of the power of the individual. Translator necessary, naturally. µ
