![]() AMD settled the case without admitting to any false advertising whatsoever, obviously because the lawyers never proved it. Ergo, cheaper to settle for a small amount now-and of course AMD had to admit to no wrong doing, it goes without saying. AMD settled not because they were afraid of losing, but because the lawyers bringing the suit indicated they would settle for less than AMD believed it would have to pay to defend itself all the way through the remainder of the lawsuit. ![]() The lawyers will get most of it, of course, as is always the case-I'd be surprised if $4M out of the $12M actually goes to Bulldozer customers. The payout per Bulldozer customer is a whopping $35 at max. And Intel's processor are much faster than AMD's? Who do they employ? Some super aliens, from the year 2850? Who commute to work in cloaked spaceships? If you should be suspicious about anyone it SHOULD be about Intel as they haven't been honest about how they came into existence and who they are and how they keep their employees in line. You think AMD randomly picks people from the street to make their processors? They have some of the best computer designers in the world working for them. The judge would have thrown the case out then. The fx4300 did it in half that time.ĪMD could have demanded that the jurors in the court case all needed to have degrees in computer science. ![]() The Athlon took 35 minutes to compress 14Gb of files. I had a 4-core Athlon then moved to the 4-core fx4300 and it was much faster, especially with the extra level-2 cache. The level-2 cache is 4 times more than it was for the older-generation processors that didn't share any resources, or twice if the two cores needed it equally.Įach two cores share one floating-point unit and can do so at the same time with two 128-bit floating-point numbers as no one uses 256-bit floating-point numbers. The two cores in each unit share some resources but for most software they effectively function independently. I'm sure most AMD users won't claim because AMD is correct in that the cores are full integer cores. ![]()
