AMD FX "Bulldozer" Review - (4) !exclusive! Excuse for 1-Threaded Perf.

[dess]

Sorry, I should have typed out:
Core 0 - one cluster
Core 1 - disabled
Core 2 - one cluster
Core 3 - disabled
Core 4 - one cluster
Core 5 - disabled
Core 6 - one cluster
Core 7 - disabled

...but I thought everyone would be smart enough to get the picture.

I've thought you've called a CU a core (just like others before you), not just because you were listing four of it two times, but that you used terms like "shared" and "one cluster" next to it. Why calling something two names, anyway?

Now, care to elaborate for the stupid like me what it all means and what diagram:

AMD's diagram
Core 0 - shared
Core 1 - one cluster
Core 2 - shared
Core 3 - one cluster (uses all resources for 1 thread)

The Stilt is also correct about module vs CU, compute/computational unit is the correct term.

Effectively everybody uses the term Module here, but fine, let it be "Compute Unit"... (No, not Computational Unit, while it means the same, this term is not used in this form.)
