For example, in this entry we have only links to openbenchmarking (not much information about the results themselves), grumbling about not getting free stuff, and the last two paragraphs totally unrelated (about ads and schei?e and twits and Postal and Valve). How is this anything else than a blog post? Why would a substantial amount of readers want to pay for that (either explicitly by joining, or by being annoyed by ads)?
How about separating the "personality" with beer and schei?e etc. into a personal blog category, and reserve the article category for substantiated things (*cough*Steam*cough*)? In this case, have an article showing the Bulldozer results, and a related blog entry about the random thoughts that occured while writing it (the blog entry can even link to the article, but not the other way around).

Originally posted by Qaridariumyou don't get it microsoft is 97% of the market share on desktop and linux is only 1% but the GCC is almost used on linux.
and amd already spend more than 1% of the money they earning on the GCC/linux side.
intel just put 10000times more money on there intel compiler and they software support to windows devs to use there intel way to go stuff.
the bulldozer need a kernel scheduler patch this improve the speed for 10% and a kernel caching patch this improves the speed for 3% and so one and so one.
the software part of the bulldozer is just not yet ready.
The CPU is just not that good and I doubt performance will improve more than 5% even with all the patches and stuff which should have been in the kernel for quite some time now if they were professional about it. I love AMD but they screwed up big time with Bulldozer.

You can not be unprofessional just because you do have a strong personality.
And yes i think you are Guilty in insult Michael you violated his personal rights.
Look he has just as much right to state his opinion, which is perfectly valid btw, as you have to state yours, and as anyone else has to state theirs.. Nobody violated anybodys rights.

Originally posted by mcirsta View PostWhat you say has some basis, the compilers can be optimized to favor Intel, at least on Windows. On Linux though gcc is open source, no one stops AMD from contributing. Also being beaten by your old CPU in some benchmarks while having 110% more transistors is unforgivable. This is not Intel or the compilers, you're losing to your own older generation.
If AMD were to start doing their own thing with instructions, then AMD's x86 would quickly turn into a fringe server architecture that only runs operating systems specially compiled for it with GCC, like any other number of CPUs from IBM, Sun, etc... So following Intel's lead is still their best option, and things won't change until regulators grow a pair and decide to break up the Intel monopoly racket.
