Next Gen VS. Current Gen CPU: Crysis Benchmark

[mstp2009]

so you think that going from ECC DDR-667 to regular DDR2-1066 is nothing more than a 1-2% improvement?




If i remember it correctly,the first K8 was an opteron @ 1.4 GHz - 1.6GHz
he is not talking about the architecture being slow,he is talking about clockspeeds......

And I was talking about IPC. IPC doesn't change significantly with memory speed you n00b.

Plus, with the 2MB L3 caches we see in K10, Phenom should be LESS limited by memory speed than K8 was (with it's relatively small caches). Once you increase cache size, memory interface speed becomes FAR LESS critical in determining performance, at least on 1 and 2P systems.

No, he was talking about ARCHITECTURE, not clockspeed.
