Everywhere Girl suffers violence in the home

aaagh!!!,

you never warned us about the spoiler, my life is not worth living anymore. Maybe I should ask them young noobs Dionyseus and Bwithh for a job.

Subject: Cockroach still NOT available

Cockroach is the mose over rated CPU to date. The Intel fanboys are going crazy with hyperbole. They should pull their heads out of their asses. Things are about to change real soon. Randy

Subject: conroe benchies..

we are still waiting to see some multitasking benchs...strangely, multi threaded applications were used, but not multiple applications running at the same time,albeit it s the first use and interest of a dual core.....

Subject: Everywhere Girl a victim of violence in the home

I was in my local Citizens Advice Bureau (Woking, UK) the other day and whilst waiting to be seen I saw a poster about violence in the home. I couldn't believe my eyes when I recognised the Everywhere Girl on the poster. Poor girl.

No photo though, sorry. Next time I'm there maybe.

Subject: AMD Keeps p/p lead?

So if AMD is going to 'keep hold of the price/performance crown' I assume I'll be able to buy myself a few FX-62's at 250 bucks a pop?

Subject: Wikipedia

Well I was doing my best to (anonymously) show some good arguments so we could convince Wikipedia staff to keep EvGirl entry.

But apparently those guys (so-called "mean people") badly want she out, as well as some INQ terms (e.g. VoleWare). It seems that they take some twisted/pervert pleasure when deleting WP entries, since they seem to submit dozens of articles for deletion daily. I think they have no life away from their keyboards, poor guys.

Anyway if I was you I'd spread the word so we could have some respectable WP contributors (that happen to be INQ readers) to defend those articles.

Mike,

"Our statistics come from market analyst Jon Peddie Research , Mark failed to state where his appeared from."

Bravo. I just don't like those people who pull all kinds of impressive numbers out of their hats in order to make/win an argument. Anybody who uses any statistical numbers without quoting the source is pulling numbers out of his/her hat. I am so glad that you guys get it.

Cheers,

Subject: A64 price cuts.

It will be interesting to see how much of AMD's production is in the A64 and AM2 line. Given that AMD has new found friends in DOE, DARPA, DOD, NSA, the cash will continue to flow on as many high end opterons as AMD can make.

Each one of those chips will buy about 30 of the regular desktop chips. Also Baker and at least one other contract(who knows about the black budget contracts) are engineering development contracts. That means Uncle Sam picks up payroll and overhead costs associated with that project. Pretty good protection for the bottom line. The replacement of the 146's and 148's in Coyote A and B, Red Storm and Jaguar with 180's and 185's in the 2H 2006 will bring in a considerable chunk of change. +/- $150,000,000.

Then there is the salvage value of 100,000 + 148's and 146's. That doesn't include what DARPA is doing and the black budget. so I figure that between the governments of the US, Germany , and Saxony, AMD has about a $1.5 billion safety net.

Intel has some major write downs on good will on the lines they recently sold. Good will is non depreciable and non deductable; It sits on the balance sheet until the business is written off or sold.

If there is no write off($10 billion-$680 million Less the value of the hard assests properly depreciated) I am sure that the IRS will be interested in Intels' tax treatment of those lines of business. As the Chinese curse goes "may your life be interesting".
