The Sandy Bridge Preview (Anand)

[saaya]

hahah, good one
i doubt bd will beat sb though... it might be as fast as sb, but not faster... and who knows when itll come out... just look at what intel did recently and what amd did, or more like, did NOT manage to do in the past years...
yes amd has been doing better lately, but even if your optimjistc about them you have to admit that bd coming out soon and beating sb would be a BIG surprise...

Another 2MB L3 cache may boost performance with an aditional 7-10%.

rofl what? in what? an l3 cache benchmark?

edit: the only way i can see amd beat intel is in price performance...
and it wont be a serious difference because as soon as it threatens to become one, intel will simply lower its prices...
