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

[BeepBeep2]

You're wrong. Superpi's code was written in the 90'ties. It's fully x87 based which area is totally irrelevant nowadays. Neither Intel or AMD develop this part of the microarchitecture. What you could see as a so called "architectural improvements" is just the speed of the cache or the memory access.

Superpi is useless because you can't even get a realistic comparison between different families from the same company. It's just a cheap toy for boring kids. Nothing else.

Okay, PD and BD are similar cores so if we see an improvement, I'm sure you know that is probably a good thing.

If you think SuperPi is a cheap toy for boring kids, I'm sorry but I disagree. This is XtremeSystems.org, not Super Mario Bros. Win 7 Fan Site...SuperPi is completely irrelevant as far as comparison between different families/brands of CPU but creates great competition for HWBOT or people running similar processors with few variables in the way you can run it.
