At an estimate die size of 315-330mm^ it's f*ing FAIL....new AMD tri-cores beats old hex-cores!!!! is it really possible!!! amd is f*ing awesome!!!!
lol
its all perspective, perf per dollar of 4 threads with a typical overclock is what i care about. that might mean a 4100 or 8100, not sure yet.
And i don't think that BD X6 - tricore whatsoever will be better than Thuban. Equal i quess .
Thuban X8 on 32nm with 8MB L3 cache would probably came in same die size. With a better IMC and faster L2 cache, i might wonder if that 8 true core design could do...
And now about crippled ES, in every industrys there are so called "prototypes", but for an example a car initialy designed to run with 300KM/H as a prototype wouldn't go with 140KM/H. May be 240-260KM/H.
BD ES are running just pathetic. If that initial true performance than no new revision can boost the performance with 50%.
And why let false rumours spread out.
It's not AMD a company craving for PROFIT?
It's this a good strategy?
AMD at least should make an official anouncement saying: "Folks, retail will have much more performance, don't trust anything on net."
