AMD's Bobcat and Bulldozer

[mAJORD]

Agree that's not good for a AM3 actual board.

But C32 and G34 will be working.

i don't understand fully this part in anandtech review :



Why a 2 Alu core could be faster than a 3 ?




WTF if there is not 4 alu and 3 agu per core, where is integer performance ?

I'm afraid about this too :

Core 2 through nehalem (not sure about SB) has 3 ALU , 2 AGu, does it have less performance than K10? At this point, without more details I think it's hard to say if this is really an 'issue' or not. for single threaded performance

K8 and K10 arch could never reach the full potential of the 3-issue pipeline due to fundamental limitations. Bulldozer is simply streamlining the concept and optimizing other parts to gain efficiency -- i.e. more with less, relatively speaking.
