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

[chew*]

Indeed there should be a update coming for Windows which optimizes Turbo Core functionality on Zambezi.
Currently Windows (7 atleast) is throwing the load from core to core which sometimes neutralizes the effect of the Turbo Core feature.
This is because the load is not being run on the currently boosted core(s).

But guys... please...

When talking about Zambezi please use the correct terms to avoid any further confusion.

A Zambezi node consists of: Four compute units and eight cores.
Each compute unit contains two cores.

In some of the slides a compute unit was called as a module, however thats not the official term.

This is AMD's patent for BD.

It points to the case that in a node there are 4 cores and 8 compute units or clusters. It also details how clusters share resources.

Disabling in bios "cores" ( actually clusters 150B ) 1 3 5 7 effectively disables resource sharing.
