Projected IPC gains up to 15%

(vs. K8)

That puts the K10 core IPC right about at Core2 IPC, as expected.

Throw in Intel's 50% clock advantage at Barc launch, and both a speed bump *and* a 5-10% IPC bump with 45nm, and it's...

Game over.

AMD may scrape out a win in 4-socket HPC apps, but that's too small a market to survive in. And Nehalem is coming.

Phenom is going to be an absolute dog vs. Penryn. Desktop disaster.

And mobile? Oh that's right, there is no K10 mobile, just a warmed over K8 dual core Turion 1.01 served up as "Griffin".
