Deneb Samples are almost out

[Bellisimo]

4Mb (Barcelona/Agena)vs 8Mb (Shanghai/Deneb) on average core 2 duo was a 10% increase with 2mb vs 4mb.

imo, this is because the IMC was on the NB, L2 caches helps to hide the memory latency (L3 in nehalem and K10/K10.5)

but i really like to think about deneb as a RV770, which means a RV670 done right
i dont expect it to beat nehalem, but if it is a K10 done right, it may end op close in some scenarios

at least deneb will offer full control over the cpu, unlike nehalem where only the extreme part is usefull for overclocking and high mem speeds
