Deneb Samples are almost out

[gosh]

Shanghai looks strong.
AMD has a great interconnect technology.
AMD currently produces the fastest single video card solution on the market.

I would not get banned for that because those are all true statements.

I was anyway

You get "warned or banned" because you post details that go outside what is true.

I have been warned here too because I criticized the scaling of C2Q. One problem could be that I talk from a programmer perspective. On forums they just see it from applications out there. If you want to scale well on C2Q you need to think about the design before you build it.
If I have forgot to think about scaling for some application before I started to create the application. Then there might be some area that is used a lot and needs speed. Maybe I want to thread that area. When you are just going to scale a small part in one application you need much more synchronization and maybe you need to guard memory. The performance penalty on the C2Q is too large for this to be worth the effort. On C2D there is only two cores so there is another problem. Moving spinlocks etc between caches on C2Q takes time.

Now when i7 is out this type of scaling for applications might be much more common. it is much simpler for programmers to do this to gain speed. Rewriting applications is very seldom an option.
