According to this handy chart, AMD's new FX-8170P CPU (Order Orochi, Family Zambezi) will have 8 cores running at 4.2GHz base speed, 4.7GHz in turbo mode.
That looks like a worthwhile upgrade for my current 2.4GHz quad core. Well over three times the compute power. And because AMD has maintained a sensible continuity in their platform, I can build a system now with the latest AM3+ socket, drop my current AM3 CPU into it, swap in the octocore goodness when it lands, and use the spare CPU to upgrade my AM2 Linux box. With Intel you'd be faced with three different pin counts.
I really want to see the server versions of these chips now. We're building a cluster of AMD-based servers at my day job, and we're using the cheapest current CPUs with the plan to swap them out for the newer models when they arrive. I was expecting more cores but a slower clock speed, but based on what they've achieved on the desktop I could get more cores and a higher clock speed. That would be very nice.

FIX YOUR COMMENTS!!! I know you're just from Australia, but that's no excuse for delivering a sloppy product.
Your comments have become an embarrassment on the .mu.nu stream. FIX!!!!

Only if I can capitalize words from time to time. Fix ALL of Ace's comment threads. Every one of them devolves into spam. The Jawa's aren't as bad, but it's because they don't use your comment system. That should tell you something.
Look, I LOVE Australians as much as the next guy. Especially female Australians (before you get all hot and bothered, I should mention that they don't always love me
). But this spam thing is un Australian, I'm guessing. It sure as HELL is unAmerican. It will not be tolerated. You speak English, so you are held to a higher standard. FIX IT!Is that specific enough? Because I could go on...

I have a brilliant new Bayesian/Markovian spam filter that's smarter than I am, but I won't get a chance to deploy it until I stop having to work 80 hours a week at my day job.

Still, it must be resolved, girly name or not. 200k is not enough. Remove EVERY spam. You know, like all others do. To do less is to admit defeat.

Yes, eliminating all spam is my goal. Yes, I'm serious about this. My other goal is eliminating jerks from my sites. Don't be a jerk.

The new spam filter I've built is really neat - it does Bayesian analysis of a Markovian analysis of the text and metadata and the relative differences and similarities between the post and the comments. Basically, every piece of data and metadata, and every O(n) heuristic I could think of got thrown in to a general-purpose Bayesian filter.
I think it's smarter than I am.
But I still have to train it on a good data set before it can go live, and I haven't had a chance to do that yet.

. I'm BSChemE, and even _I_ don't refer to myself as an engineer when fixing computer problems. You shouldn't either. Way to belittle the brand."Honey, this dos box won't close. Let's call an engineer to fix it!" Sheesh.
Also, fix the spam. Thanks in advance!

I'll say no more about this. Please accept my apologies. And if you guys want to fix the spam, well, more power to y... Oh yeah, I promised to say no more about it.
