NextGen VS. CurrentGen CPU: 3DMark06

[generics_user]

AGREED.

The cycle change in latency b/w the two users listed above is VERY interesting. I didn't check, but were they the same stepping of K10?

43 cycles, however, is still play ugly.

both B1 check cpu-z screens.

as L3 cache seems to handle cache traffic between the cores (L2) and serves as a buffer between the CPU and the IMCs there should be some more % achieveable by increasing NB freq...

and we still don't know if the IMC runs in ganged or unganged mode (unganged allows the IMC to write and read at the same time opposed to read/write only in old K8 IMC, at least that's how i understand it after reading kyosens thread), if the IMC runs ganged there is a chance that K10 can get a higher IPC than yorkfield (but i don't count on it )
