AMD's Bobcat and Bulldozer

[blindbox]

As far as we know, the 33% more cores and 50% thing is on server loads (honestly, what server loads uses 100% all the time?). Conservative too, it's the bare minimum. I believe that's what JF-AMD said. Correct me if I'm wrong.

EDIT: Here it is.

Don't expect performance at hot chips - that is a discussion around architecture.

As for performance, the 50% gain is an aggregate estimation of major server workloads. Estimates tend to be conservative, there is little to be gained from being overly aggressive.

Oh, terrace215 was posting at that thread too.

Again, we are all asking this. Is there an 8-core SB for desktops? 8-core is the new 4-core for AMD. It seems like 6-cores and 4-cores SB are going up against 8-core BD, which probably replaces the 6-cores and the 4-cores of AMD today.

I'm expecting good things.
