AMD's Bobcat and Bulldozer

[JF-AMD]

There would be no point for anyone to choose Zambezi over octal Sandy, except price, possibly.

Also, JF admitted elsewhere that the 50% / 33% claim for Interlagos / MC has been substantially juiced by including, in the aggregate used to measure, serial workloads that benefit from the Turbo that MC lacked. While adding Turbo is a good thing, this means the "fully-parallel" throughput improvement is considerably less than 50%. In order to make sense of the claim, you're going to need to see exactly what they've chosen to average over, and at that point, you'll likely have access to simpler zambezi benchmarks of all sorts.

Actually, you are spreading FUD, so I will not reply to this.

Thankfully, your exchange remains:

Turbo (improved) in a server chip. Yeah!!!

That feature was totally unexpected and is a welcome one. I wonder if it accounts in anyway in the 50% improvement in performance. I hope not!!!!

Obviously it is part of the equation, but definitely not all of it.

If that is FUD, well, it came from you...

How is this different from Intel?
