I don't know you should ask him on twitter :D

I don't see why would he lie about it.

Some of us like to speculate and discuss about potential performance, if you don't like it you don't have to read it you know.

All I see is people saying the same things over and over again mixing it up with speculations and theories. The last couple of pages pretty much proves my point imo. :p

So? Obviously a lot of us here are interested in the subject..if you are not, you do not need to even enter the thread.


:rolleyes:

I am kinda interested, but it's boring to read everything again and again with no new points being made and people not taking a hint and then spam until lockdown. Because it's what the thread is now. And I'm contributing to the last part.

But then again cows digest the food several times and it's good for them so maybe something productive will come out of this? Carry on, men. :toast:

I personally think a lot of info can be gleaned from people talking about BD still. All of the opinions offered here by all the members are valuable to me.

Plus, anyone that mentions performance, at this point, I'm adding to my "Questionable Reputation" list.

I may be a reviewer, but I have ZERO access to any info that is not in the public domain, and I don't sign NDAs. I've been getting boards shortly before retail release, but I am NOT getting products while still in BETA; I'm getting products from batches that everyone else will get form their favorite retailer.

Of course, I'm very curious about these CPUs, as I'll be spending a large amount of time doing reviews with them, so any info I can get will help me bring you guys real, accurate reviews. With my access to non-public info really limited, when I do a review, I don't have much help, and when I run into issues wit ha product, I'm on my own trying to find a fix more often than not.

I need all te hBD info I can get, and liek you said, reguritation can be useful. Sometimes you can spit out the crap you don't want to eat.

Is it not that obvious?

is there something i'm missing?
B2.G performs better than whatever recent benchmark was leaked.. thats all that can be inferred by Anand's statements.. well also that there may be another stepping b4 launch. but it's not much to go on. it might even have been, an unintentional slip.
(not attacking you just disagreeing on your interpritation)

anyway have i missed some recently leaked perf benchies? please link me up if i have.
(yes i know they probably mean squat but i'd still like to see...)

Bulldozer on Integer workloads looks amazing

That performance based on various leaks of non-Representative benchmarks has lead me to make me say

Bulldozer for my workloads are 2.5~ times better than my Phenom II

And if the application I use uses the IMAC(Pipe 0?)



Then performance only goes up when it becomes Representative 2.55-2.75~ times is my expectation

Then you have to understand with a new motherboard the one I plan to buy I expect to get 4.5GHz-4.8GHz with an H80/H100 thus increasing the performance more

That's not true either. Closer to six months than a full year. ^^

Aww, hey come on, he's just rounding off. It's cool... everyone does it.... and now for the mix master 3 speed turbocharged wangjammer for 99.99.99.99 and only for the last part of last month can you get it for 99.99.99.99.... + shipping and throwing charges..
lol..:roll:

Well based on that, MY prediction is that performance is going to be close to 2600K.

Yeah! 4 cores vs 8 cores CPU if Bulldozer loose or equal performance of the 2600k than i said it fail... an 8 cores Bulldozer should at least be 35-40% faster then Intel 2600k 4 cores IMO

& no HT doesn't mean squat!... it is still a 4 cores CPU

Why are you looking at the number of core, look at the price/performance.

Also I found and interesting post on XS by xsecret:

From a micro-architectural point of view, there is some nice ideas in Bulldozer. But it seems they failed to finally implement what they expected at first. The concept of "cores" for Bulldozer is just a marketing BS. A FX-8150 is a 4-cores CMT-based CPU with a dual Integer cluster. CMT architecture is not something new and noboby called a cluster a "core" before. AMD just renamed a core "a module" and a cluster "a core" in order to amaze ppls with "8-core CPU !!". Now what's next ? Calling an ALU "a core" ? After all, why not ? So the FX-8150 could be a 16-cores CPU as well.

Edit : As a proof, if you look at their own patent (http://www.freepatentsonline.com/20080209173.pdf), you see they know exactly what is a "Core" and what is a "Cluster". So why calling a cluster a core ? For marketing purpose of course, but that's still BS.

why does it matter

the number of cores doesn't matter, the performance does, if it is a 4 core then it will have high single threaded performance, if it is an 8 core it will have high multithreaded

if it's somewhere in the middle the best thing to do would be to look at the performance and then decide what your going to call it

This late in the game, Intel has already made a significant profit off the SB Line-up, and could easily price match AMD when the SB-E CPU's come out.
