Fun thread trivia. Someone has
50 posts in this thread (r)
Well, I did take the time to translate 164 pages of nonsense into info I can use
Most websites have 164 pages worth of Bulldozer Rumors/Speculation/All other stuff
JF-AMD gives us hints here and there, and I tend to infer to them
But this is the most leaked, talked, and mourned over CPU since the "Hammers"
When he talks or refers or infers to the Client products...he is mostly right
I vist AMDZone sometimes just to see if those engineers are talking about stuff(Bulldozer)
I visit other places and learn more and more
and the more we get closer to the due date of Zambezi the more DATA I can find and exploit(learn from)
and I love typing and flaunting my intelligence
Most of my information are those from
I trust to either have/ know what they are talking about / or it is given to me directly through past references like PowerPoint Slides or leaked NDA documents
I also have alot more free time to look up stuff than most people
What I know:
1. Zambezi is a
High IPC and
High Clock design
The high IPC comes from the efficiency of the design, The high clock is because of less components in the design some items are shared thus less heat
2. Zambezi performance isn't
final till it releases
These leaks only tell us what Zambezi will perform at that current time when it is slowly getting more and more supported and tweaked/fixed
3. Zambezi
price isn't official but we do not need to worry as it will be a
"cheap" processor to buy
Leaks say $220-$320
AMD says Cheap
4. Zambezi is the start of AMDs Tick-Tock Cycle
AMD uses an inverse of Intel's Tick-Tock Cycle
Zambezi 32nm HKMG -> Komodo 32nm HKMG -> NGBD 22nm Dark Silicon? HKMG maybe
2011 -> 2012 -> 2013
(Speculation on the Dark Silicon)
5. Server Products =/= Client Products
$10 on Seronx.
Edit: Should have checked the link. I was right though.
Like anyone would bet $10 that it wouldn't be
and like Zambezi's
performance my
post count increases over time
