AMD Zambezi news, info, fans !

[Apokalipse]

yea i agree,i find it hard to believe that amd is behind the FUD and that a new bios will make a big impact with ST performance and save the day.
i think it is more likely that frequency will be the thing that puts it above thuban and compete with SB.but thats just my opinion

With all the work and details added to the architecture, I find it hard to believe it's even possible for it to have lower IPC than K10.5.

I don't know if a new microcode will make it faster; it seems a likely possibility though. But I do think AMD is probably holding something back.
And whether it's faster than SB or not (single threaded), it at least keeps Intel in the dark.

In any case, I don't think AMD wants to spread FUD about bad performance. They want it to be unknown, to keep Intel in the dark.
