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

[BeepBeep2]

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:




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.)

That image shows Thread 1 (a/b) running sharing a CU while Thread 2 has it's own CU, does it not?
By disabling every other core in BIOS, Thread 1 runs on it's own CU, Thread 2 is disabled.
That is what I was describing. There is no Thread 2 a/b in the diagram despite the whole article talking about how AMD wants threads to share modules and benefit from higher p-states.


I would also like to add that though I never called you stupid, I find your post quite rude and very demeaning.
