AMD's Bobcat and Bulldozer

It's -5% IPC vs Thuban, then higher frequency due to the longer pipeline with faster pipe stages, estimated at 20-25%. This is for a single thread doing integer work.

No, your wrong.

It's minus 20% performance vs 2 full BD cores. 1 module = 180% of 2 theoretical BD cores. I think that is a clear fact and your just spinning stuff up.

That's the whole point of going for a module. You could have 2 full cores with 200% performance, but with much bigger size. JF-AMD says it as well, they chose smaller die-size so they can pack more modules. Never did they say the 180% is vs Thuban.

Plus, i don't buy the Ex-architect stuff, it's BS. IF you would be a high-end engineer and would, after leaving a company, reveal so much about it, you would get a big law-suit and would probably never get employed by other companies since they would fear you would do the same when working with them.

Usually work contracts have clauses which prevent you from revealing what have you worked during that time and any kind of confidential info.

That's just BS that someone would believe that such a high place engineer would throw smack at AMD. Only a kid would believe professionals act like kids when their career is at stake.
