Thanks for that link! I really suspected before that AMD had to downlock many parts of the module since they missed the performance target by a wide margin(especially in projected fp performance vs K10). Half clocking of L2 and maybe even FPU can explain this. FPU is really one of the power hogs of the design and big L2 is not helping either. If they manage to fix the power issues(they: GloFo) ,then maybe PD can be solid improvement in some weak areas.Originally Posted by Oliverda
