LOL, its so funny to see people going religiously over some computer hardware. Not that I am not an enthusiast, but not so into like most of you guys do.
While Yona might mean pigeon in Hebrew, Yonah does not.
Yonah means Jonah in Hebrew.
God told the prophet Jonah to go and tell this
one nation to change from their evil ways
otherwise they will get punished.
Yonah didn't listen and took a boat in the
opposite direction. He got thrown off the boat,
swallowed by a whale and taken to the place where
he was supposed to go. The whale vomitted Jonah
out.
I think Jonah's branch predictor needed some fine
tuning otherwise he wouldn't have made the wrong
choice.
advertising is required in current world.
The world which cannot alive without "women intim products" ads have many reasons why so fast developing company as Intel need to advertise.
If they will not, somebody else will. Without ads the average Joe will not know there there is something to change his PIII 700 MHz for on the market, will never know difference between garage PC and high quality laptop, etc.
There are no bad and good guys in Capitalism. Everybody works for moneys and fame.
AMD is on a much tighter budget. That means they have to choose between spending money on a competitive product, or spending money on advertising. I wouldnt be suprised if Intel's advertising budget is bigger than that of AMD's entire processor division.
AMD ususally has some sort of meeting around IDF. This year they didnt unveil anything new, just had lots of dual core computers running. Apparently production models too, it came out that AMD's dual core speeds will start at 2.4GHz, maybe higher (for reference, a single core 2.4GHz dual channel ddr/1MB L2 is AMD's 4000+ model).
I think that AMD have some PR meeting. We havent seen many nice products for some time so they plan some another forum spam burst or maybe some submarine advertising?
I'm starting to get worried though that my boyz down at AMD are slacking, seems like intel is working their asses off trying to catch back up and surpass AMD once again, and AMD just be chilling, basking in the success of A64. Then again, they also don't have the media/marketing circus that is IDF.
I want HT enabled in each of the cores. I am willing to sacrifice a bit of battery life for that. Heck fuel cells are probably going to be a reality in the next couple of years. I would like 64 bit but I can live without it. As long as the proc can kick ass in games and apps I am cool.
So, there will be no 64-bit support in Yonah. What will Intel do to support XP-64 and Longhorn when they do come out. Don't get me wrong I like the power management Yonah will offer. But, I'm not quite sure I will be considering to drop my Dothan for a Yonah. Since there will be no 64-bit support.
#3: AMD have nothing prepared except some DTR processors. They offered nothing serious until now and this will not change soon.
#8: for what you need 64bit on notebook? You do not need it even on desktop and rarely on server! You will not be upcomming few years able to get any benefit from it. Even many AMD mainboards have still 4GB memory limit which is rearely to be seen on the desktop.
Yummy; I like the looks of those power-saving concepts. Hopefully they'll do what they look like they will!
Also, since flops seem to be the weakness of the current P-M, this thing, especially accompanied by an extra core, could be amazing. I sure hope AMD has something even better yet awaiting.

Banias - there is a rever in Golan Heights called Banias (or waterfall, don't remember ...)Dothan - there is a Dothan Valley in Israel.
P.S. We've go a great honor- to use Israeli names for code names !

Yonah als means "pidgeon" in Hebrew ....PeteRoy - Friday, March 4, 2005 - link
I think your right Determinant about that, Yonah can be a person name they call the core after.Dothan has no meaning in Hebrew but some people in Israel are called Dothan, I don't know about Banias.

Dual cores wouldn't have helped here.

what about x86-64 extensions?no word on that

Yonah was designed in Israel. Yonah means Jonah in Jewish and Jonah is a prophet from the Bible that got swallowed by a whale and survived.Cheers

Yonah reminds me of "Ya, know". As in "This new processor is going to be awesome, yonah."ianwhthse - Thursday, March 3, 2005 - link
It's just you.AlexWade - Thursday, March 3, 2005 - link
Is it just me, or is "Yonah" too close to "Yoda".bobsmith1492 - Thursday, March 3, 2005 - link

is there any info on whether desktop or at least SFF yonah's are going to be available--- desktop dothan's have been uninspiring to say the least
RadeonGuy - Thursday, March 3, 2005 - link
i definatly going to buy one no matter the cost
