What to Expect From AMD at ISSCC 2011

[EvilOne]

By not doing his research you mean not copying down what the engineer said correctly? You in denial or something?

Your not related to terrace215 are you ? Ill trust JF-AMD over a news artical which is using the magic 90% number incorrectly.


EDIT
Found the quote i was looking for.

<totally rhetorical question, NOT real numbers>
Which would you rather have:
80% of the performance with 50% of the cost and 50% of the power consumption
100% of the performance with 120% of the cost and 120% of the power consumption
</end rhetorical question>

People keep seeing that 80% number and thinking that it is a compromise. What they don't understand is that by sharing components we are able to add more cores in the same die space and same power budget.

It is by no means 80% of today's performance.
