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

[xdan]

First of all TDP does have a corelation with the power draw. They are related betwen. Because the heat it's produced by electrical power passing the tranzistors.
That's why an 125W TDP cpu consumes more power than a 95W Cpu.

So 5% is bad now? Do you know what it takes in terms of CPU design to get 5% IPC increase? IB didn't get this much over SB but it's awesome!1!1!1!

Yeah the 3.9Ghz IB (constant Turbo is engaged on IB in almost ALL workloads across ALL cores) vs 3.5Ghz SB that can rarely Turbo to full 3.9Ghz on all cores. There goes you 8% IPC out of the window.
Again if you have no clue about what you are posting ,simply don't post. Thanks.

Oh and "ty" performance? Sure you buy IB and shell out 200-330+$ in order to brag about your uber Physics score

Can we please stop talking about Intel?

Yes please tell Informal to don't speak anymore about Intel, AMD it's his business, to saying Intel this/ SB that/ IB this...

You think its better to go back to the days when you have to have 5 different chips on a board?

You go way above what i sad... 1 dedicated VGA doesn't hinder your sistem space. Furthermore AMD APU requires stronger VRM than a MB with Intel i3 IB especially. So you cut in a place and put something in other.

exception to data extrapolation.

Power draw should be on par with FX8150
Very much data with this when already are rumours that it's higher. Just keep silence and hope it's not true.
