Dresdenboys' blog: AMD Bulldozer - Patent based research

[informal]

And now something a bit different,an official statement from high ranking principal member of technical staff at AMD regarding Bulldozer's key improveemnt :

The next big turn of the screw for AMD will involve plugging its next-generation Bulldozer core into a Magny-Cours design. The new core expands what has been the single-threaded nature of the AMD cores "in a different fashion than Hyperthreading," said Conway, referring to Intel's method for supporting two threads on a core.

There's a glimpse of CMT definition somewhere in that statement .

I think you are rite. I think the next gen arc. will have tits bits from PowerPc7 arc and CMT is rite there "going to CMT is a very sad move tough the whole thing about real men real cores"

The PowerPC7 seeems like a very good server processor but not as good a desktop one. But the nehalem arc is proof of how good a server processor can perform in desktop app's.


Also notice this:-

Basically we are taking a leaf from [Intel's] book but doing it differently,

in a different fashion than Hyperthreading,

Read old IBM arc white papers and one tends to notice how different the CMT is implemented, its more civic to say the least.
