WELL, THE FIRST set of AMD 4x4 numbers are starting to trickle out, and interestingly enough, they come our way running on Vista.

The three benchmarks are all amenable to heavy threading, which probably explains why they chose Vista to test them.

Our source claims they saw an 80% average increase going from two to four cores, but exact testing methodology was not disclosed. Whether or not this carries over to current games is the hot topic of the moment, none of these benches were gaming benches.

That said, the preliminary numbers are encouraging. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
