AMD cuts to the core with 'Bulldozer' Opterons

[tifosi]

Frequency wise, I do not expect Interlagos to clock faster than 2.5-2.7GHz at 137w.

Given that AMD is doing rather well with 12 physical cores rather comfortably at 115W of TDP. All indications are that Interlagos on a new node (32nm) would fare better than Magny Cours(45nm), TDP wise. This is not just down to the manufacturing node, but also has a lot to do with the way the cores are designed. It makes me wonder why you would preseume what you do... Would you please mind sharing some information on the same? Sincerely, i'm rather curiously/ anxiously waiting for BD to show up... so please do share this...
