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

[xdan]

Continuation....

so when using valid mathematics:
2.9*1.11*1.2 = >3.8GHz. Thats using your metric for trinity... llano would need to run at 3.8GHz or higher... a clockspeed which is an exception to be reached in overclocking..

I'm sure my math it's good.
It's all about parity in IPC Llano(Athlon) / Trinity AT 4.4-4.5ghz (BD, Pilledriver whatsoever).

3dmark 2006 Cpu score
A8 3870K @ 3.776Mhz - 5261 marks

A10 5800K 3.8GHZ - 4304 marks
FX 4100 @ 4.5ghz - 4728 marks

With Pilledriver core but without L3 could be 5000-5100marks at 4.5ghz which is about 18-20% above 4300 score as is frecuency.

Anyway you put it Llano at 3.6-3.7ghz should be equal to Trinity. Llano 3.5ghz 24/7 it's possible in general.
And you don't need to change motheboard to new socket FM2 and so on.
9 months from Llano were enough to make a new revision with improved clocks and better IGP.
And it isn't any prove that Pilledriver with IGP will do better clocks. And because of IGP overclocking could be affected.
I mean 4-4.2ghz could be but 4.5ghz > not that sure.
