Thats due to cache. And not that much faster after you remove the extra clock. Plus remember this is FBDIMMs. Not Regular.Originally Posted by Boschwanza
Shanghai is very close to Penryn score for a single thread, at least for this Benchmark.
Deneb is january 8th (Atleast embargo) on the last AMD slide.

Crunching for Comrades and the Common good of the People.
It's better than a 23% gain even after you remove the clock gains. That is huge. Also saying "it's just the cache" is pretty silly. Caches can make a massive difference. Intel proved that.
I'm sure there are some other tweaks but nothing to write home about. We already knew Barcelona was a decent server chip, just low clocks.Thats due to cache. And not that much faster after you remove the extra clock. Plus remember this is FBDIMMs. Not Regular.

Looks like Shangai will keep AMD in the race for a while, especially when it ramps to the 3ghz mark.
I still think for a desktop they will have to have low low prices to compete with intel. I'm sure a 3.0ghz deneb will be a nice chip for the price it will come out at (ie low). Personally I don't care about OCing any more, I just prefer a chip that runs fine at a price point (watts/performance means nothing to me in a home environment).
That road map is a bit weird. Shows it out in December but embargoed to Jan????
If that means they are releasing late Dec before Christmas, they are afraid of the reviews it would give!
How things change.. all the sudden spec_rate matters, and the all the sudden cache is a gimmick.
The slide you posted came out about April 9th. A lot of things may have changed in the 7 months since that slide was presented.
