Let me put it this way. There's no way those benchmarks are right. I'm not familiar with all of them, but I know for sure that POV Ray and X264 Pass 2 scale extremely well with more cores. In very well threaded applications, Thuban will just about match Intel's quad cores. In those two particular benchmarks, they're showing Zambezi performing slightly worse than Sandy Bridge. That's an octa core running slower than a quad core with almost half the die size. All I want out of Zambezi is to perform slightly better than Gulftown.Quote:

And that's against mid-end CPUs in handpicked tests. How can you call that a success? As I said, it gets beaten by Nehalem which is three years old. It's simply a flawed architecture.
Always keep an eye on motherboards manufacturers. :)

更新CPU代码，支持AM3+ B2-F / B2-G 步进CPU
B2-F ????:confused: B2-G ????:confused:
B2G was confirmed by anandshimpi few weeks ago, it is newer than B2F which was spinned in July or August. Looks like newer cpuid would be added in later.Quote:

IIt would be more realistic if they can compete with gulftown in lowthreaded while having a small advantage to the 2600 in highly threaded.
yes but :Quote:

Yes, there will be XOP optimizations. Yes, they will help, at least a % or 2.
I would guess FMA will be much more important for X264 and any other codecs.
Obviously B2F wasn't good enough for Zambezi, so that is why it was delayed. But since Interlagos was needed by close partners at first, they could ship some bad chips to Cray and friends and call it a server launch. Even though nobody else is actually getting them. And we know two types of Zambezi have been leaked, the one they'll ship first, and a new one in Q1 2012. I'm guessing B2G is the first one they'll ship, and a B3 is coming which will replace it ASAP. The preceding text is complete and utter speculation!Quote:

MicroCenter employee is stating to me they will be able to sell BD on the 12th of October.
Well, if AMD have the same release schedule with Piledriver that they are having with BD, I wouldn't expect it to be available next Q3.Quote:
