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

Phenom II has higher performance per watt, twice(!) the performance per mm² (taking processes in to account) and higher IPC and is capable of almost the same- if not the same or higher - frequencies on the same process.

can you show me some proof, because some parts are so wrong, mainly 2x performance per mm2, I really want to know how you got that and the same or higher frequencies is just a dream, its enough if you look at Llano with disabled IGP, that cpu can't break the 4Ghz barrier while BD is attacking 5Ghz and is made on the same 32nm process.

p.S. I agree on higher IPC and perf/w is worse only on 4module but still on par with Thuban, the 3module and 2 module are better than anything else from AMD. Example Llano 2.9Ghz has the same power consumption as FX4100 but FX is a few % better.
Even FX6100 has a higher consumption by just 4% but performs better by 15% the rest of AMD cpu has higher power draw.
