are you saying TDP95W is ugly, SB has the same TDP so It must be ugly too, right.

Shouldn't they release a native 2module too, I don't think they would have enough chips just from faulty 4module if they need to sell 3modules too.


I never said it will be worse than older cpus (that would be amazing engineering achievement to make something slower than phenom II architecture in 2011). Even if only IPC increase comes from bigger cache it should be faster than Phenom II.

And seriously do you even understand basic concept of performance per watt ?
95W TDP on SB is great because it has performance to match it.
Yet FX4 comes with 95W TDP compared to 125W for top-end FX8 while offering half it's performance.

PS. Radeon 5770 says hello. How do you sell slower card at higher price point ? Simply you just stop producing 4870 and 4890 so there's no competition from your older better product.
