Every Thursday we have our weekly staff meeting to go over what articles everyone is working on and when they are going to be ready for publication. Normally, after every Thursday I have a pretty good idea of when things are going to be published...except in hectic months like April.
I've got another NDA this Friday (nothing huge), but because of it (and the fact that the hardware for it has yet to arrive) there's going to be a bit of shuffling on our part. So here's how my schedule is looking right now:
Tomorrow - ATI Theater 550 Review
Wednesday - nForce4 SLI Intel Edition Review (including ultracoolextremeeditionAnandNCQ tests)
Thursday - Not totally sure yet, possibly Splinter Cell guide
Friday - I'll tell you then
Meanwhile, this week will be particularly busy for me as I'll be benchmarking for something particularly exciting that goes live next week. Jason has already finished his server tests on the aforementioned very interesting item, now it's my turn with it. Afterwards, it gets sent off to Derek for a workstation look. So if anyone has anything they'd like to see in an upcoming review, please let your voice be heard :)
20 mins until 24, so I've got a bit of writing time left that I'm going to make the most of.
Take care.

Hey anand, is there any chance you could rework the XML feed for your blog? Right now you're changing the tags into html entities (like < for <) so readers like bloglines will show < BR > instead of rendering a line break.RyanVM - Monday, April 11, 2005 - link
Anand, might I suggest you try to incorporate VMWare or VirtualPC in future performance tests? My own personal experience has been that P4s w/ HT perform FAR better than the AthlonXP in virtual environments. I'm not sure how one would devise a benchmark for those (maybe file copying or even your standard application suite running on the virtual machine), but I think it would make a very nice test to show what dual core can do.Anand Lal Shimpi - Monday, April 11, 2005 - link
ViRGE:)

Even though the DC Pentium D and the DC Opteron are not in the same target market, we'll very much appreciate desktop multitasking benchmarks, so that we can compare architectures until DC A64s come out.ViRGE - Monday, April 11, 2005 - link
My only request on the dual-core Opteron front is to take some time to try to treat it as much like a desktop processor as you can(i.e. run some desktop benchmarks on top of the workstation stuff). All the articles don't indicate that there will be anything special about the server version chip compared to the desktop version(other than the socket/MP difference of course), so run some of your normal benchmarks on a 1P setup comparing dual-core performance to single-core performance. It won't perfectly translate to desktop performance, but I don't see why it wouldn't give a reasonable indication of what kind of performance boost desktop users will see in the future.robg1701 - Monday, April 11, 2005 - link
Friday = 15th.15th = San Diego ship date.
hmmm ?

The sites I've linked would not appear to agree with your estimate #2 :)Anand Lal Shimpi - Monday, April 11, 2005 - link
Hmm, I've made things clearer in the post.Take care,

NDA expires for dual core opteron processor this coming Friday?
