AMD CPU Technology used for the films Madagascar and over the hedge

Feck off

Quite!

Now what one website will BIG UP the AMD processors more than anyone else...

hmmm...

Now, is someone an AMD employee, or is someone trying to make themselves feel better about their Phenom?...

spam! And this is coming from (me) an old AMD fanboy. Intel is dominating the CPU market, and there's nothing we can do. All companies have their ups and downs. Chill.

And wtf hellboy. You're supposedly 39, but you post **** like a oblivious 13 year old. Post an intelligent post, or don't at all.

lets hope he is in that special AMD's 10%

Hey, go to ebay and buy a funny side...... you need it....

To be honest, this sort of trolling gets on my nerves and before i went in to a rant, i took a deep breath and said it in two words...

And no it werent Big Mac

Good job 9inch, you managed to make us all "stupider" with that drivel.

Yawn, Those films were made when AMD did have a stronger CPU, now they don't. Your point is?

Hahahahaha its thundernewb!!!!!!

Hey AMD has a partnership with a company that uses their CPUs only, can't that be seen as monopolistic behavior since its a deal between AMD and Dreamworks? Even though right now in digital media encoding and graphics it is prove that a Intel CPU will do it faster therefore cutting time out of prduction therfore lowering the films overall costs?

Eitherway welcome back Thunder-doofus. We missed you pointlessness.

Oh and Madagascar was in 2007 along with Over the Hedge, if I remember correctly. Might have been started in 2006 but the Core2 was out then.

Could be true, i don't remember exactly. But it could also be a contractual relationship as well....which makes my point moot anyway.

THUNDERMAN!! LONG TIME NO SEE!! BIG WARM WELCOME!!

its strange how he seems to garner a sort of familiar hatred/affection.... because he's so stupid its funny, but its annoying as well...

Just watched Seinfeld's "Bee Movie" which is also a Dreamworks SKG production, and Thunderpants will be amazed to know there is a whole Dreamworks/HP/AMD advertisement posing as a special feature on the DVD. In fact, it has an amazingly similar reference to all the little hairs on the bee's arses, requiring some 22 million CPU hours or some such, using "AMD Opteron 64" technology. Made me wanna grow hair on my own arse  . However I'll just wait for Nehalem..

Get's on mine also and to be 100% honest your the one starting it this time.

Now to say a bit to the OP and on topic:
You did not already know this?
Movie companies and Cray use AMD becuase they connect lots more CPU's than your web/file servers and AMD can connect dirrect from CPU-to-CPU.

The more CPU's you have working together the faster it becomes over Intel.

No other reason.
Not price.
Not raw speed.

Intel for the past year has been makeing a better product if your using 1 or 2 CPU's and that is what most of the MB's sold use.

Value @ dualcore stock 3Ghz speed is a different subject howerver.
The truth is if you have two systems set up in a game software shop...same RAM speeds/monitors/GFX cards and sound and @ standard res...that if 10K people were asked to say which box was using what brand of CPU they could not tell you.
So in this example the best value would be the AMD that sales for $100 less.

The reason for using 3Ghz stock in the above example is that most people do not OC or use dual GFX cards with large high res monitors/TV/ or multi monitor game systems,and 3Ghz does not bottelneck the system.

No.
I see no "proof" here.

Intel seems to be "attractive enough" for everone else in the world

Thunderdork is pretty funny.

I think it's great. AMD needs all the good PR they can get. The people that don't know any better or care should by AMD, someone needs to keep them in business. They need some breathing room to at least try to catch up. Let's hope they can design a CPU that makes the Intel processors look like junk.

Everyone seems to loose sight of the ramifications of AMD going belly up.

Don't forget, we need AMD to survive and thrive or innovation will stall and the new CPUs will cost a fortune.

I'll give you the same response that I did the last time you posted this exact same subject:

Pixar uses Intel.

Who cares one way or the other?

ZOldDude - i dont think you've seen thunderman's regular posts - at least judging from your reaction (ie you bothered to respond to him) but, just a word of advice - dont bother, he rarely reads his posts again, and he never EVER uses logic (except in the rare event it favours AMD)

+1.

And as usual I must post:  
This Is What Happens To a Troll

i think we are in 2008!!! get an update bro

General Question: What other companies besides AMD owns x86 license? Also is there an x64 license too...?

Funny you should mention it cuz supposively what Intel did with Dell was contractual as well. If it would be a moot point here, shouldn't it be the same with OEMs if they also signed the contract accepting the terms that Intel proposed?

i'm not sure, but i'm pretty sure that x64 doesn't have its own liscence (i could be wrong, but isn't it just a different way of doing x86?)

VIA has a license, but I don't think it entails the upgrades (SSE, etc.).

x64 doesn't have a license, per se. It is an extention of the x86 set and it falls under the "Shared Technolgies" agreement between AMD and Intel - where they are both allowed to use the upgraded instructions to the x86 architecture, regardless which company came up with it.

I would almost have expected Intel to grab up the x64 licsense with Itanium but thats in reality IA64. But since x64 right now is not a true 64bit only and just a 32bit with 64bit extensions we may never truly see a x64 chip.

If Dreamworks sold computers, and AMD had PAID them, I could see the comparison. But they dont, they just buy computers, so they can use whomever they wish exclusively.

I dont want to sound like a fanboy, so please understand, if the OEMs decide all on there own that they want to use only Intel procs, fine, I may not personally like it, but its their choice. However, when Intel is tossin $$$ to get that to happen, I have a BIG problem with it.

^ True.

Yeah, that's why AMD came out with x64. If Intel could've made a viable x86 emulator for IA64, then AMD would've been shut out. I gotta give kudos to AMD here, as x64 was a brilliant and unexpected move.

Damn!, can you loose honestly either way, I have a intel processor, but i loved every amd chip i ever had, and every intel processor(except a p4, i had for a short time) They are all fast even the lower speed chips.
