AMD "Piledriver" refresh of Zambezi - info, speculations, test, fans

[undone]

I am sure that is what I was told, but I see other media are saying clocks+IPC. But 10-15% increase in IPC might as well be in well optimized software. These are PR-people and after Bulldozer I definitely won't trust it for certain I think 10-15% yearly is a realistic goal, looking at how Bulldozer is today.

BD is a buggy product, we have to regard it as a prototype rather than a chip. BD is another Willamette(Pentium4) IMO
If you take these problem fix into account then 10-15% is too less. But 20% stronger than Llano is somewhat surprise, cuz it put 8 core Piledriver to position that 20% stronger than 8 core Llano(or K10), oh wait should it was BD's goal?

edit: IPC or frequency is not important now, cuz we cannot figure out what BD SHOULD be, not to mention PD.
