AMD cuts to the core with 'Bulldozer' Opterons

[god_43]

What performance claims? What do you mean weak? I don't see what you're talking about. I'm sorry that I may sound a bit harsh, I don't intend to be.

Fruehe says that a pair of Bulldozer "cores" will yield about 1.8 times the performance of what a single, whole core would have.

here they mention about only a 1.8x increase in performance.....i dont think that is a very big performance leap? or am i understanding this wrong?
