EDIT: You! Yes, you behind the bike shed! Stand still, laddie!
there are dual-cores coming, with 2x512 L2 and 2mb L3 for AM2/+ as well as quad-core 4x512 L2
AMD will be string back more powerful than ever ;)Quote:

SAN FRANCISCO (Dow Jones)--Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) cranked up the rhetoric Wednesday, claiming that its "quad-core" computer chip, code named Barcelona, outperforms a similar offering from rival Intel Corp. (INTC). (...)
At a briefing for analysts and the press, AMD of Sunnyvale, Calif., said Barcelona, which is expected in the third quarter, offers a 42% improvement over Intel's quad-core processor by one common measure of computing performance. (...)
At the briefing, AMD demonstrated a computer it claims is capable of "teraflop" performance. Once the realm of supercomputing, teraflop computers perform one trillion calculations in a second and are now being conceived as simpler, more modestly priced systems.
(...)
To achieve teraflop speeds, AMD's system uses two R600 graphics cards and two dual-core Opteron chips.
Nathan Brookwood, research fellow at Insight 64, a Saratoga, Calif., research firm, said the two teraflop computers were being designed for different purposes. Intel's effort is a research project while AMD's is an attempt at a commercial implementation.

Perhaps the unknown AMD systems is also using a couple of GPU's for Seti/Bionics applications to get that high score. Who the heck knows ... :D
As far as I know BOINC can't use GPGPU (yet :) ).Quote:
