Because that is what Alsup is saying is NOT the case. (integer performance, yes, but integer performance/clock drops slightly in a thread, made up for by a faster clock)

Anything less than that statement could be satisfied through the not-in-dispute FP improvements, or the more cores part. It's got to be: Integer (not FP), IPC (or "performance/clock", not just "performance"), Single-threaded

Something like, "BD will have higher single-threaded integer performance/clock than the previous generation."

That would actually address (and contradict) the statement that Alsup made.
Terrace are you buying a ready product or 1 kg of Ghz like tomatoes?

Who cares about clock for clock if the part performs better in a given TDP budget which it was designed for.

To everyone else reading this thread: can we start a pool for Movieman to ban terrace from all threads including the word AMD?
