AMD's Bobcat and Bulldozer

1) JF told you at the other thread that IPC is higher.

2) If that's true then the higher frequency design comes on top of that.

3) And last but not least: Power gating Turbo now allows much higher single core frequencies.


Looks like a 1-2-3 speed bump for single thread performance to me....

Hans, I wouldn't put much faith in "much higher single core frequencies", relative to phenom II.

As for the IPC, I could believe it is higher, but having seen how they've trimmed the cores in certain ways, not that much higher.
