AMD cuts to the core with 'Bulldozer' Opterons

[duploxxx]

Those are.. 65nm conroe, 45nm nehalem, 32nm westmere, 32nm SB, from left to right?

So, err... the last transition not being a shrink doesn't explain this?

Valencia, then, I can't keep track of all your crazy names. Is that one the 8-core server part?

Price points for the server CPUs only have little to do with things, as you know.

----

As for client, has it been completely resolved whether client high-end SB will be only 6-core, or 8-core, or offered in both 6- and 8-core? I haven't heard this before.

So woodcrest -wolfdale - clover -harper - gaines - gulf - sandy bridge
and tigerton - dunnington - delay -delay -delay - beckton -

against
barcelona - shanghai - istanbul - lisbon/magny cours - valencia/interlagos

and yet you tell me that you can't keep track of the AMD based codenames, wouldn't call you an enthousiast but a pure intel fanboy

for those who don't understand what architecture "delay" means, it is delay => http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delay (is that the good way to explain MM? )

Well, I don't think that was the plan. The delay made it so. Wouldn't you agree the K10 core and its derivates is a bit long in the tooth compared to SB which thrashes the Nehalem generation ?

can you give me a link where SB is totally trashing Nehalem? so you are saying that we should totally stop buying any intel based solution to wait untill next generation. Well the good part is that you'll have to buy a whole new platform anyhow as usual thx to intel
