I don't care about numbers ( not like evrybody ), but architecture is important, you said, you don't sell architecture but perf/watt, but without architecture, you don't have any processor. Architecture is important, when you update your cpu with a new architecture and new process, the boost may a lot more important than buy 200mhz more.

Especially when it's not a refresh, but a full new one.

I think, you'll talk about CMT and multithread, and what's is going for near futur +5 years in software. And what do choice CPU builders ? More cores or more better cores or less better core and huge better number of core ?

But will AMD deliver more information about the new exec unit ? The number of pipe stage, ALU and AGU, the wide of evry bus, is full support for avx, how will be supported avx in intel compilator and others, SSE5 is or not dead, if there is the needed improved update on dynamic branching that intel own far better than AMD from core 2 duo ?

i guess it's gonna be a exclusive memory cache design again but why not maybe why not hell, you choiced to change ? Victim buffer improved ? shared ?

I know you can't tell evrything, i'm just asking what are subjects are going to be unveiled on Hot chips.

And when is next post in your blog

And congrats for ATI works in discrete market
Yes, I went over the slides last night. There will be data on ALU/AGU, extensions, front end, Flex FP and more.

The slides will not have the same depth that the talk will because an engineer will be doing the voice over. We hope to get some of them to blog later, but the 20 questions blog should allow us to get some of the details out.

People just shouldn't expect Hot Chips to be a big unveiling. It is sharing details. Just don't want people getting to hyped on it.
