Well, another case of wrong information by obmitting parts of it.

I wrote "Charlie Demerijan seems to know", just for the record. That means I'm not 100% sure about what he knows. He did never say, that he guesstimated around but that he has seen the microarchitecture during a meeting with some AMD guy.

Hello Hans, nice to see you here.

and thats exactly my problem with guys like mr demerjian, fuad etc. They always where shown non public information by "some guy" (insider, someone who knows an insider etc.) and most of the time it turns out to be hot air.

Your work on the other hand is based on facts and its cool to see someone invests so much time in scraping together little pieces and tries to make a picture out of it.

Your gathered information coincidently fits with one of his articles, maybe he had reriable source for once. I wouldn't rely on his articles to verify your theory.

Offtopic: The fact that Charlie does have tons of connections is nothing that can be denied, and most of he's articles are actually very nice. This Charlie Demerjian hate spawned cause he's the opposite of an Nvidia fanboy, so today even bringing up obvious facts we here the green men coming into threads and typing "CHARLIE DEMERJIAN TEH LULZ!"

Nice to see both Hans de Vries and Dresdenboy in this thread will be following it closely

Yep he seems to know things, but even if he knows there are chances he may mislead people. Similar things happened with RV780 specs most websites said it has 480-640SP's but actually it was 800SP's.

Since you and Hans are quite knowledgeable on chip arc. at this thread, it seems that the proposed arc. would work in reality. Oh ya any speculation on Sandy bridge since we all ready have a possible die shot of it...!!

Also can there be a chance that SMT is implemented in a similar way as PowerPC7 than I7?
