You can't have turbo and all modules working at the same time, the fact that parts of a module is idle doesn't matter since turbo works on a module level.

And it's said everywhere that a second thread run in a module "only" increases performance with 80%. That is a 10% performance loss compared to a traditional dual core approach.
I would not make assumptions about how our processor works based on how our competitor has implemented technology.

As you may (or may not) be aware, I was critical of the way that they implemented turbo. I am happy with the way that we have implemented it. I can't get into specifics, but I can assure you that when you look at the two implementations, you will see a clear difference and you'll appreciate what we have done with the technology.

I hate to say things like that without being able to disclose any of the detail, but more than that I hate people going down the path of assuming things about our product that might not be fully accurate. It's a fine line.

Just keep in mind that this is a brand new architecture and things are going to be approached from a different perspective. The modularity is only one small part of it; there are a lot of things that have been changed.

People have been asking for someone to really bring some real innovation to the market, I think you will see that.
