The official Bulldozer Status

[blindbox]

I believe bulldozer is ahead of schedule isn't it? Last I heard it was H2. Now it's H1 or to be more accurate, Q2 .

Interesting stuff next year. Massive amount of cache there btw.

that part sounds like you might aswell just launch them with a 500mhz boost, and just add in a heat based throttling for when that one special thing is pulling in too much power that we would not often see

i also assume this is all about the server segment and its not directly related to client side

It's marketing my friend. Intel is doing it, and it works. it's so that you can put more features.

Anyway, so Turbo CORE would be enabled when you're doing prime95 and won't enable when you're doing Linpack. Hmmm I'm kind of wishing of a 1 Ghz boost for single or two-threaded programs.
