I was about to say the same thing Manicdan... While arguing does generally suck, I don't mind this kind because I learn from it haha I've been into computers for coming up on 2 decades (come 2014), but never been into the architectural details like this

So to Solus, regardless of whether or not who is right or wrong, I'm learning from the back-and-forthness of this debate. It's not so much the info being given about Bulldozer, wrong or right, that I'm learning from, but the specifics on how certain segments of the CPU function are a core level. Indeed, there still is the issue of incorrect info which can mean I'm (or Manic) not getting the right specifics... but in the end it'll be sorted and means I still come out ahead I've been reading all of the posts, so it's not like I intend on stopping heh



So anyways... I was doing some painstaking translation over at zol.com.cn (where a fair bit of leak images stem from), and the one topic talked about the potential drawbacks of running a 'Dozer on an AM3 pseudo+ board. I can't remember but did we discuss the fact that the AM3 would only default to a CPU-NB speed of 2000MHz, where as the 'Dozer's is 2600MHz default? Meaning that unless a person was to overclock/change multipliers, it would be taking a performance hit from that...

20 pages in the thread, it's a little hard to keep track of what all exactly we've discussed lol (basically what I've read here and what I've read elsewhere)
