Dresdenboys' blog: AMD Bulldozer - Patent based research part 2

[-Boris-]

I feel that AM3 and it's dual channel memory controller might make Bulldozer a bit memory starved.
But I do hope that AMD finally did something about the lousy IMC in the Phenoms. They simply can't use the bandwidth of DDR3. But that alone isn't good enough.
Benchmarks has showed us that higher IMC clock boosts performance alot, and an IMC at core speed would make even the Phenom II close to nehalem in many aspects.

A triple channel IMC which isn't broken as in Phenoms would be great. But the fact that AMD choose AM3 could be bad news about memory performance, and thereby lower overall performance.
