AMD's Bobcat and Bulldozer

[informal]

IPC can go down if frequency is upped for same performance.

If they double pumped ALU with a double frequency, that could help to use the 4 wide front end.

let me hope for that

I doubt they will double pump the ALUs.The units will just be more utilized,a difference from the units in today's parts which sit idle a lot of time .

That would be G34 and C32, is it AM3 as well?

Sorry, it's an obvious desktop question, but given that old roadmaps says YES, and some sources todays says NO, I just wish you could answer.

I think that the guy answering the question in the teleconference got a bit confused. It is possible that the new parts won't work in old boards (and the old CPUs will work in the new boards),but this has never been the case in the past : just look at the AM2/AM2+/AM3 comparison.
