AMD's Bobcat and Bulldozer

So you expect a 4 module BD to be as hot as a six core 10h at the same frequency?

why not ??? more logic then 10H more cores etc... even with the shrink i doubt that the 8 cores desktop will first come at more then 3.2ghz ... maybe with later revision higher clocks ... but for release it wont go higher then that

You already have 2.3 ghz for 12 full cores at 45nm. With smaller cores with BD and smaller process node, i can definitely say that we will see higher frequency than 2.3 for 16 and 12 core BD parts.

but it wont be the same architecture as magny cours ... so only a 200mhz bump to 2.5 for the high end model wouldnt be hard to believe ... maybe 2.6 without turbo .... now how the turbo will kick in on the server is to be seen but i believe that stock with no turbo it wont go past 2.6 at the most for a 12 cores 32nm part ... 16 cores wont go much past 2.3ghz .. if my assumption is bad then its all good ...
