Dual FC-PGA Processors on I820
Posted by: nitro_fish on: 03/18/2000 07:06 PM [ Print | 6 comment(s) ]
The boys over at GamePC have gotten their Dual FC-PGA article up. They had some interesting things happened to them when they played Quake3 in "r_smp 1".
Feeling a little confused, we ran tests with Dual 650E Slot-1 procesors on the same machine, and it didn't produce these strange effects. When running Quake III loops on the Slot-1 processors, the system utilized nearly 100% of each CPU when running, but with the FC-PGA's, it would only use around 50-75% of each processor. This leads us to believe that there is something Intel did physically on the chip to disable/mangle SMP on FC-PGA processors.

The Register has posted a review of IBM's Thinkpad T42p. The T42p sports ATI's Mobility Fire GL T2 workstation graphics chip. What sets a workstation chip apart from standard graphics chips is its certification for use with certain high-end graphical design packages. So if you want a notebook to run a CAD package, or a 3D rendering application, you'll want one that has a graphics chip approved by the software vendor. That way, when you run a preview of that complicated scene that you've been working on for days, you know it will work.This really does look like a mobile workstation. You might want to take a look. |

The guys over at SFFTech have posted a review of Iwill's ZMAXdp SFF. If I'm not mistaken, Hooz is running one of these units in the secret 2CPU.com underground test bunker. After previewing two "engineering samples" and now reviewing the final shipping product, we can confidently say that the ZMAXdp continues to amaze us. As you |
