AMD Achieves Gold Certification In Austin!!! (Impressive)

Yeah well dog smells another dogs arse in Cleaveland..

And the point....

I thought AMD were going greener as they dont make much processors anymore...

Thunderman posts always make me laugh, keep it up!

It does seem like they put a lot of work into the building. It would be nice if every company did at least this much, but I'm sure most would rather not spend the extra money. In fact, I wonder if AMD would do it again in light of their current economic situation.

I don't really understand why you are so excited about them getting the "gold" award unless you were part of the design team for the building. If you were one of the designers or project planners then well done.

+1. The best part is how you can always tell from the title who the OP is.

rather than building a greener building, stop driving cars. actually that applies to everyone as cars are the absolute suck for efficiency.

I hear AlGORE is moving to TEXAS until INTEL builds a hoge fab there to make IT the largest greenest in the state

hey maybe you guys should stop flaming like stupid intel fangirls and listen to what he is saying. its GREAT amd can be 100% green. you can say ohhh i7 intel this blah blah but the fact of the matter is AMD as a company has earned a respectable reputation in something that effects EVERYONE not just computer geeks like us. get a clue sharken you silly nub.

Oh really genius, did he not bash intel first through a quote then get out his pom poms, talk about who needs to get a clue, STFU already pay attention son

Actually from a building/engineering standpoint, gold leed certification is a very impressive feat. Most new corporate/municipal buildings aim for Silver certification which in itself takes extra work and planning. Of course they didn't go Platinum certified.

And for those of you who don't know what LEED certificaiton is...

It is the present and future of building construction (not homes, buildings). Between current Green trends and Obama, I'm willing to bet you won't be able to get permits w/o it in a few years.

Yeah but if someone grovelled enough on how bad things were for them, then someone may have been more sympathetic than they could have been...

Not that im saying the person at the top of the award giving chain got a new computers or anything.

Sharken is nearly as much an idiot as thunderman, but that doesn't mean we can't tell thunder he's an idiot; have you even seen some of his other posts?

The trouble is that green means money..

The price of gas going up so rapid...

In the UK the green issues in which the government has applied has ended up in costs added (which is a lot ) to our tax bill and ends up being total booolax.. Never trust any government...

They are all the same, promote them selves first, give them self a big house and pension first and the rest of the country will pay....

Its been done for hundreds and hundreds of years,,, and theyre playing with your lives people...

youll go yo hell if you dont pay you taxes people were told in the dark ages, or if you dont we will kill you.. Although we are not threatened by death now but are threatend in our pockets...

Its all marketting BS just like the Iraq invasion... What we need is to be taught how to save energy, and if its true im not saying what AMD is not good, clearly it could be..


are you telling me the US, the most advanced country in the world with satellites with so much powerfull imaging techniques.. you think google earth is good, thats old technology to what they really have.. and Sadam had WMD's that would be ready in 40 mins.. Intelligence reported WMD in Iraq imaging from satellites as part of the plan..

How many WMDs did they find.... absolutely none....

And the UK Prime minister did the same as well as sniffing around Bushes backside like a love sick puppy..

All liars...


We the human race have to make the choice to save our planet, we dont own it, we just live on it...

Its up to you to turn off lights which we dont need because no one is in the room.
Its up to you to use a cheap low voltage, low wattage pc to download software over night..
its down to you to make the change of going green or not.. not the government as they will charge us for it what ever happends.

Im still waiting for the tax tax. Itll be a tax thats taxed because theres probly something out there that isnt taxed. Like here in Caleyeforneyeaye, you used to get a tax break for buying solar power. Then , since the brownouts, and their medling with power plants, their restrictions, their not in my backyard ideals, they noticed that their own state couldnt even make enough energy for itself, and when the crunch hit, it became important news. Right after that, those same Obama types went after all those mean people who had solar power on their houses, said, since theyre getting free electricity, and sometimes even getting credits towards actual power usage from the power company, theyd have to be....taxed

is this location an office building or a warehouse?

anyone hear from concrum? gee i miss that guy

ooh cant resist this...

All of America was a bit green when they elected George Bush..

It has taken them towards the end of his presidency for everyone to wake up though...

Stop going off topic and talking about politics, this is meant to be a thread where we:
a) lol
b) Flame
c) Admit our undying love for AMD(which we all have), and cast aside the evil intel empire that has consumed our souls.

AMD4LIFE!!!

you can oc that chip to anything you want, it wont even remotely come close to an i7, Truth is bitter but live with it.... ditch the pom poms its a lost cause

And besides, going with Thunder logic, Texas is bigger than Arizona

Re: UK fuel tax tax, it's not strictly like that. Fuel duty is paid by the supplier then we pay VAT on it at the pump, so yes we pay tax on tax - but not directly. I think even us Brits from rip-off-britian would kick off if we saw that on the receipt!
For 50 years during the 1700s in Britain we had a window tax, where you would be taxed for any more than 6 windows in your house! I think this could be ported to the car tax of today perhaps, get a few extra quid off all those flash b@stards driving round in limos all the time!

What's up with all the thumbs downs here? Seems like some tool does this on every thundy post, or heck any post that mentions AMD.

I noticed that too, so I went back up through the posts and voted most of them thumbs up to cancel out whoever this guy is.

its funny i noticed something in this thread.

you have thunder which is a total amd fangirl.
then you have sharken and silverion which are flaming him for being a fanboy but yet they are fanboys of intel and are just as clueless... the irony in this thread is too much.

so we can logically assume its you who is behind all this madness

Well atleast we know there are six die hard AMD fans out there
