AMD cuts to the core with 'Bulldozer' Opterons

[informal]

Barcelona to Shanghai,at the same clock, brought 10-15% increase in server workloads,even the desktop saw a good 6-8% jump(and in games up to 20%,which proves how these apps are cache sensitive).
I think we need to give AMD some credit and to wait for actual results instead of trying to extrapolate single thread performance from an average figure AMD gave this early in the game. This thing has so many improvements on so many levels.

The thing is, if Zambezi operates at 3GHz-3.6GHz it would be nice if it could compete with i7 in the same range, current X6 Phenom II 3.2GHz is in the area around i5 2.66Ghz. An X4 needs 1GHz more to even get close to i5.

Are you for real?1 Ghz? In which parallel world are you living... i5 (no SMT,with Turbo) @ 2.66Ghz can't compete with 3.2Ghz thuban in real world applications.
