Comment on AMD Bulldozer vs AMD Piledriver – One AMD APU to rule them all! (for now) by spenson

Andy, while I agree facts in informative articles should be accurate… There is absolutely no mandate that forces then to be. Heck, look at the news, news papers back in the day were notorious for misinformation that supported the aspirations of the paper owners and their friends. News outlets today are no different. So if the bloggers get a few things a bit wrong, they are human, going offinfo they believe is correct, and they are still far fore accurate than most news programs.

Comment on AMD’s A10 5800k – Let’s take a look at this hot Trinity APU by Marty

No Worries; happens to me on a daily basis.
But thanks for a great look at the CPU. I am looking to built another desktop for myself and Trinity might just do the trick.
Keeping fingers crossed that AMD will stick to the release schedule.

Great little article just want to point out one little error that stood out. Trinity will have 4MB of Level 2 cache and No Level 3 Cache and not 4MB of L3 Cache as pointed out one the 3rd last paragraph of the article.
Just a little point, but people might get the wrong idea.

Again No offense really meant but I understand it is your blog but you can’t just spread false information and expect your blog to be read. It doesn’t bode well for your readers and doesn’t speak for your intelligence. I can see that you are a very intellectual individual (being serious) as you take time for editing and other such processes that are the stable for a good blog or newspaper article. I just wanted to point out that I have read your blog before and you usually are on mark with what you say but the information contained before wasn’t accurate and for those of us who follow very closely to you and tech news it was a disservice. I am sorry if I came off in such a way as I did in the last paragraph or sentence. It wasn’t meant as such and I do apologize for it. I am a rather literal person and such social taboos usually escape me as my social skills lack a lot more than other areas in my life.(Again being 100% serious)

To anonymous: Yes, I do believe the entire chip from CPU to GPU will use the resonant weave. This will keep the power requirements down as it will recycle (as I understand it) portions of wasted and power to the cores that inevitably happens when you have leakage and other things that are not preventable by the processes that the companies use today

The Trinity is using the resonant clock to wave 20% power and this is good. I hope the HD 7670M which is paired with Trinity uses the resonant clock.

Ha.. thanks for 95% of your comment, didn’t take it as rude or snide at all. The last 5% though your intention was clearly to be a dick, one which you succeeded admirably in and if I you wanted to fire me off your address I would gladly send you a cookie for attaining such an achievement
Great thing about it being my blog(as you were kind enough to point out) is I’m free to post whenever or whatever I want, regardless of the thoughts or comments of those dicks that choose to correct me on it but I’m also free to make corrections thanks to those who know more about it than I do. Muchos gracias senior

there we go, updated! You just helped to make this world a smarter place

“Well Piledriver is the new Bulldozer, don’t ya know? Piledriver represents the next generation APUs”
First of all, Bulldozer and Piledriver are not APUs. Both of these codenames are CPU only. LLano and Trinity are the APUs you speak of. LLano did not have Bulldozer nor Piledriver architecture in them but, the Trinity APU is base off of the Piledriver style core.

“As discussed in a previous article AMD’s gently stepping out of teh power hungry high end chip market and doing the green thing by focusing on much more power efficient tech and the Piledriver APU represents a big step in that direction as it is the fire high volume processor core to use something called RCM IP, developed by a company called Cyclos.”

This is partially wrong as well. AMD is not stepping out of trying to attain a high performance chip. It is just doing better in the APU market than it is doing in the CPU market because Bulldozer did a belly flop on performance/watt. They are still decent chips they just didn’t improve from the previous generation on single threaded apps or IPC.

So to sum things up:
Piledriver is AMDs new desktop CPU only chip and will fit into the AM3+ motherboards. Trinity is the Piledriver based APU that will fit into the FM2 based motherboards. Both are looking to add about 15-20% in performance over the previous generation.

Not trying to be snide or rude but get your facts straight before you post on your blog.

Comment on How to ‘unlike’ a link/page/movie/whatever on a PAGE (not your main profile) by Jen

Jen — Thu, 03 May 2012 04:07:44 +0000

I am the new admin of a business page, and I need to unlike MANY pages that the previous admin had liked. Do you know if there is there a faster way than going to each page and unliking it? The activity log method you posted won’t work in my case. Thanks!

Comment on AMD Trinity Cores release date leaked by Tsahi

You are mixing bobcat/brazos APU with llano APU.

Piledriver is the replacment for the A series only, no connection to the e-350.

if you want top performance in low waatage then there will be trinty at 18w, whiche is the same consumption as the e-350 but with much better performance (cpu or gpu).

I also have e-350 laptop (lenovo x120e) and wating for the trinty storm to start.
In short, you will get what you want plus alot more.
