Well tbh it would behoove AMD to market a Module as a core, with 2 threads inside each module...........Originally Posted by Mats
How about just comparing the performance at the same price point?
This eternal argument of cores/threads/modules leads us nowhere, especially without ACTUAL BENCHMARKS.
Why?
Because more often than not it will get compared to an equivalent intel part with 4 cores........which happens to have 8 threads.
Just like HWbot where wprime rankings are based on the amount of cores not threads due to it being a "feature".
Amd needs to term this as a "feature" or they are still in the same boat they have always been...........competing with 8 threads less in an 8 core benchmark........when socket 2011 hits.
Touting the claim "worlds first 8 core cpu has minimal short term returns"
Touting performance claims AMD's 4 core solution = or better than intels current 4 core parts " long term gains"
I still say the first company to figure out how to stack cores ( cascade them if you will ) so 2# 3 gig parts = a singlethreaded 6gig core finds the honey.
Whether that is physically possible I have no clue however thats what I think will change the processor world forever.
