RIP, SunSolve 100

Kymermosst writes "Today marks the last day that SunSolve will be available. Oracle sent the final pre-deployment details today for the retirement of SunSolve and the transition to its replacement, My Oracle Support Release 5.2, which begins tomorrow. People who work with Sun's hardware and software have long used SunSolve as a central location for specifications, patches, and documentation."

Comment Re:? Do you really think Intels are 4x faster (Score 1) 362

The Core i7-860 spanks everything AMD has at $280 @ newegg, there's only a few odd benchmarks AMDs $300 top six-core CPU wins.

Except that:

1- The top AMD six core is actually $275, not $300.
2- The AMD motherboards are cheaper, you can easily save at least $100 on that.
3- The AMD motherboards are more likely to work with future CPUs (Intel has already changed sockets between Nehalem and Sandy Bridge... again).
3- A 6 core CPU is probably more future proof than a 4 core one (even if those Intel cores are more powerful individually than the AMD ones, not arguing that).

I agree with you that the AMD advantage is smaller at this price point than at the $100-$200 one, but the advantage is still real.

1-So the difference is 5 usd that doesn't change anything.
2-100 usd, really? i7-860 use 1166 socket, and there are some 1166 mothers that cost less than this so I call this bullshit.
3-Who cares, unless you are a hardware enthusiast you're probably going to use a i7-860 for so many years that this doesn't make any difference. And if you are you want the best not the cheapest.
3(sic)- What? A chip that need 6 cores to archive the same performance than one that has 4 is obviously technically inferior.

I really think AMD should stop astroturfing it's dishonest and doesn't speak well of the company.
