View Full Version : EA switching to dual athlons !! rms 12-29-2001, 04:01 PM "Electronic Arts is apparently now committing to dual Athlon MP 1800+ workstations, presumably for their development efforts. This is a fairly high profile win for AMD, in my opinion, especially because they have EA implying that the Athlon MP is around 30% faster than the Xeon with their particular development tools. " http://www.jc-news.com/index.cgi rms rsquires@flash.net MATT 01-01-2002, 12:27 AM Computer guru-website, Anandtech.com, also switched to Athlon MPs for their very own webserver and rave about how much of a better performer the Dual Athlons were over the faster-clock Pentiums they had previously. AMD has certainly come a long, long way :) I'm still crawling along with an Athlon Thunderbird Socket A processor ;) Dinosaur technology now, it seems! MattB 01-01-2002, 01:01 AM MATT (nice name by the way ;) ) the thunderbird is still a pretty could CPU for the price u pay for it...... l know a P3 still costs over 300AUS wich is a big rip off......... |
