Maybe it was a bad translation or something but have we forgotten the Pentium Pro? I was NOT trying to trash you out here. They figured out a better way to get the Job done and dumped it. They have more experience with *real L3 than AMD. Intel's S-RAM is faster than AMD's.
Example, one guy went off the deep-end and said I said that AMD didn't use smart memory. I'd said it wasn't advanced as Conroes, AMD's buffering routines (smart cache, smart memory access and etc..) are just now catching up to Conroe and not as good as Penyrn. This I was told by an AMD leaning programmer who's more honest than Fan. He added Intel needed it more than AMD since Intel wasn't using an IMC. This is relevant because Nehalem is using even more improved buffering scheme, TLB, a bigger IMC, QPI and etc.... Then we're surprised by its performance?





qft!
