I don't think that you understood what i meant .
An improved Phenom II arhitecture should have interesting performance: reduced L2& L3 cachem better IMC, larger L3 cache -8MB). Just some tweaks as Nehalem -> SB.
And probably would have better yelds, because is something well known and so on.
improved PII is Llano (minus L3)
i dont know if it will be better than SB in single threaded tests (sorry if i implied that), i do EXPECT it to be better than thuban due to clocks and previous details provided.
if 6 BD threads = 6 thuban threads, and 2 cores gets 195% scaling while 2 BD threads on one core/module gets 180%, then a single core/thread of BD is ahead by +15% already because we KNOW the scaling of BD is not the same as true independent cores. so if all cores being used is equal, then less cores being used must be stronger.
