    I saw a video of a guy who put 24 SSD in RAID with onboard graphics and ran Crysis 2 on max settings.

    posted a message on MSE Loses AV-Test Certificate
    Quote from Satharis

    MBAM is better than all of them anyway, I'm not sure why they never even show up on antivirus test reports like this, did I miss a memo somewhere?

    I'm still sticking to my guns that MSE for auto protect and MBAM for scanning is the best combo out there, it doesn't use much processing power and it certainly doesn't spam you with nag screens like every other free antivirus.


    I have issues with MBAM very often it seems to miss a lot of reg entry for a piece of malware and PUPs.
    Avast and MSE do this too that's why no matter what I have Spybot as a secondary scanner.

    Sources for people incomming.









    These results are a little old here is a newer chart from toms.


    I think just about all AV sucks on its own if I run spybot after it I normally find reg values left over from the infection and sometimes other things.

    i hope AMD will keep producing, Intel has suggested that after haswell CPUS will need to be soldered to the MoBo, if AMD can hold on untill then they will get a great amount of funds.

    _Le Off topicish.


    Great deal of funds from what?

    The market of people who build computers is not enough to fund a company the size of AMD going.

    Quote from SM8

    That makes me skeptical about this quote. Seems like a crappy yet efficient version of PD released a few years too late.


    How is it like PD at all?

    Also it supposed to be able to run Windows it can emulate x86 though chances are this probably will break patents.

    It has 2 256bit FPUs per core so a total 16 for the whole chip and does 16gflops per core when using FMA.
    To put this in perspective AMDs 8350 has 8 128bit FPU or 4 256 FPU it does 19.7 glfops per core without FMA.
    Intel SandyBridge 2600k does 71glfops per core and has 4 256bit FPU without FMA.

    If I could find a benchmark with FMA it would not even be fair.

    If they make it to Excavator. They're considering making Steamroller and stopping at that.


    First of all that post is quite a few months old back when AMD looked to be on track.
    We have no idea what AMD is up to ATM this could just be a delay or AMD is killing off the BD archs.

    Except it's idle speculation and that wouldn't be a just a stupid decision, it would be like a car manufacturer known for being moddable deciding to weld all their parts into their cars.


    No not really people who custom build computers are a small fraction of Intels market they could kill us off and hardly see a dent in their profits.

    Surface is a freaking $800 laptop with horrible specs.


    Despite what you may think of it that does not effect that AMD is winning CPU contracts with some large companies with its non bulldozer based cores.

    If I was in charge of AMD I would immediately halt all development on anything Bulldozer based kill off that arch. Move everyone to Jaguar and have it tweaked for Kaveri. Then build lots of seamicro servers with lots of tiny efficient cores controlled by the seamicro fabric.

    Llano Trinity and Kaveri are the only things keeping the Bulldozer based archs alive.

    AMD is probably going to ditch its highend cores for non APUs it makes them almost nothing in terms of profit.

    The way I see it AMD ditches the bulldozer arch and goes only for APUs.
    Leaked docs have shown the next surface tablet is going to run an AMD APU.

    AMDs ceo said their APUs won a massive deal to produce a lot. This is probably one of the consoles.

    Kabini and Temash are what AMD seems to be focusing on.

    On a 720p monitor you get about twice the framerate you would on a 1080p if you actually test it on something graphics intensive.


    No it does not work that way.

    Its all bullcrap Intel controls crap in the SOC market their x86 phone got the crap kicked out of it by any of the older ARM cpus.

    To everyone saying at least we have AMD.
    AMD has been killing off its engineers.

    AMDs Bobcat line sold more then the Phenom2s bulldozer and Piledriver combined this year AMD has no reason to keep pushing in the desktop market. Chances are AMD is killing off its Bulldozer arch. Plus with how small AMD is it makes no sense to be producing two different architectures at the same time.

    Yes Skyrim and pretty much everything works under Win8.

    There is no way to know for sure but higher resolutions hurt frame rates because you have that many more pixels to fill.

    I doubt its going to be a massive drop with 2GB of vram I would go for the 1080p sceen.

    No way, I want a source.

    It's mostly because they don't want to put five times more work into every armour piece by making a model.


    World of Warcraft was first announced by Blizzard at the ECTS trade show in September 2001.Development of the game started in 1999 and took roughly 4–5 years, including extensive testing. The 3D graphics in World of Warcraft use elements of the proprietary graphics engine originally used in Warcraft III.

    Wow started development on the engine in 1999 they started building story lines years earlier they talked about this in an interview.
