We originally had a NDA article to go up today, but the NDA got moved at the last minute, which unfortunately left us with a hole in our schedule. Rather than leave the hole unfilled, I decided to stay up throughout the night to publish the long awaited Half Life 2 CPU Performance article.
There's a lot more that I wanted to add to the article but I figured it made sense to post the results of what I had done now, rather than delay it any further. I apologize for the delay and I hope the article is at least somewhat fulfilling to those that have been waiting for it. I really wanted to do more with it but I couldn't justify dragging it out any longer.
I'm going to go take a quick nap and then it's back to work. On a side note, it's snowing pretty heavily here in Branford - thankfully we order our groceries online so I've got no reason to leave the house. Ah the hermit I have become :)

I also don't think he likes being rushed.You either get what you do, now, or you wait. Assuming you're the same Anonymous who kept peppering the Mac comments with, "Where's the HL2 CPU Scaling Article?"

I don think Anand likes getting yelled at ;-)Anonymous - Thursday, January 27, 2005 - link
MAYBE SINCE HALF LIFE 2 IS SO MEMORY DEPENDANT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD TO INCLUDE PERFORMANCE WITH 512MB 1GB AND 2GB OF RAM?mikecel79 - Thursday, January 27, 2005 - link
#9 Hmmm and I thought the problem was just with NewsGator. I guess it's a problem with the XML then.Holger Eilhard - Thursday, January 27, 2005 - link
#4 The same with SharpReader. :(FlameDeer - Thursday, January 27, 2005 - link
Thanks Anand! :) Very good article that worth waiting!Very useful approach especially on Memory Performance, Latency, Cache & SSE/SSE2 comparison.
CPU Scaling chart too give us the clear idea on how CPU act as a factor in HL2 performance.

I suppose that "article" was the DFI boards :( sniff cant WAIT for that to get out :) :(chag - Wednesday, January 26, 2005 - link
good job, man. good to see you do something productive again! =PAnonymous - Wednesday, January 26, 2005 - link
Awesomeness. thanks for posting these I've not seen any other sites do anything similar (tho honestly I was waiting for Anand or [H] anyway) and they are much more informative than the straight benchmarks.Mikecel79 - Wednesday, January 26, 2005 - link
NDA = Non Disclosure Agreements.Anyone else reading Anand's blog through NewsGator for Outlook? Ever since the last upgrade of the site it doesn't render the HTML right. I can see all of the HTML tags in the message. Just curious if anyone else is using this and having the problem.
