do we really need high end processor these days?

Kay sa una nag assemble ko ug pc nag canvas pako sa mga prices mangayo man ko ug price list then compare compare sa mga price.. heheheheh...

Yeah it is interesting to see. That the 80 core procs from Intel. Can only do 1 teraflops.

But ATI 4870 can do 1.2 teraflops. Not to mention 4870x2.

I hope I did not disappoint someone.

Theoretically the 4870 is even faster than the 80 core intel. It all will be known if there are drivers and software that will support these GPUs.
Even in productivity applications.
Have you seen 3d marks cpu score with and without CUDA drivers. CPUs could be obsolete. Hehehe.

you're comparing apples to oranges. technically speaking, CPU and GPU are not directly comparable, as you always need a CPU just to be able to run your PC, while GPU can theoretically make some things faster but you don’t need it to make the PC work.

consider the CPU as 5 math professors, the GPU as 100 math students. 5 math professors can do a lot of complex calculations fast, while 100 math students can do a more calculations, but not as complex as the ones the professor can do.

and oh, fyi, 3DMark is generally for benchmarking the GPU's power. so obviously, a better GPU would give you a better score than a better CPU.

@carmicaeld
indeed, CPU and GPU is like comparing like apples and oranges..

but dont you think that this 80-core is more comparable to a 128SP Geforce or 800SP core Radeon.. than an Core 2?

the 1+ TFlops claim was ran with a specialized program just a CUDA program is also..

its seems to me that a single process element of the 80-core intel is just very similar to GeForce SP.. which contain simple FPU instructions..

lets just w8... maybe there's a twist

[carmicael]

haha. clearly a poor way of comparing things. mind you, a core of a x86 processor or the Core 2 for that matter, is SMARTER than the shader processor of a GPU. if an existence of 800 shader processors in a Radeon card, or "cores" as nVidia would like to call it, what sense is there in making an 80-core processor? would Chipzilla not think of this?

the prototype that they created, yes, process simple FPU instructions. again, a PROTOTYPE. in definition, a PROTOTYPE is still in the TESTING stage. if you read the article properly, it is clearly a PROTOTYPE. further improvements, if you recall, include running an actual WINDOWS OS, in the future. now, if 800SP of a Radeon chip is that all powerful, claiming to hold 1.2TFLOPS, which is true, then, if it is as smart, or at least half as smart as the CPU, shouldn't PC manufacturers ship PC's with a Radeon card as the main PROCESSOR, if such number of cores and processing power TOP over that of a current CPU? wrap your brain around that idea for a bit.

clearly, these comparison is senseless, since, again, it is comparing APPLES to ORANGES

cheers

@carmicaeld

"the prototype that they created, yes, process simple FPU instructions. again, a PROTOTYPE. in definition"

since we dont have a final product. so what closer comparison can you think of at this moment?

[carmicael]

again, comparing a CPU and a GPU directly is out of the question and senseless, let alone comparing a full-fledged product and a prototype.

[k.A.i]

naa sad unta ko ipuno nga question ba,

is quadcore worth it on todays system?

i mean, i need sana opinions sa dual core vs quadcore

kay gamay ra man akong nahibaw-an ana nila gud.

example:
quadcore is good for multitasking
dualcore is good for gaming(because of high clock)

gusto lang ko makabalo sa inyong mga opinion.
( kung sa tingin ninyo wla namoy ika-puno sa akong example, just ignore this nalang )

ty guys

[carmicael]

as you said, mao ra man ang real world advantages sa duha, pero to add, quads usually have higher TDP than duals. kung dili ka into vid editing, rendering etc, get a top clocked dual core.

enjoy.
