AMD cuts to the core with 'Bulldozer' Opterons

[informal]

Also he keeps quoting those AT game benchmarks while back in real world gaming the results are pretty much even across the number of chips.LC already showed the artifact in benchmarking(the "highest fps") which other websites don't bother addressing. What matters is minimum and average(minimum more than average) since these define the "gameplay fluidity".

The only obvious differences are in the max frame rates, we have the explanation below:

The highest frame rates only show at the very beginning of the benchmark and are an artifact of the measuring routine, whereas everything else is essentially constant between the three CPUs tested here.

And Boris,the 12% number you so often quote is meaningless and has nothing to do with "single core IPC improvement" as you want to believe...
And no you have it backwards,if it(BD) scales "bad" with many cores then the single thread perf. will be higher... The problem with the 'bad scaling" is 1) it won't scale bad 2) you can't extrapolate any figure from 50% AMD gave us.
