Neways, about BULLDOZER:-
It's gonna follow SMT, or Simultaneous Multiple Threading. AMD have reported that this feature increases performance by 90-95% with a mere 5% increase in die size compared to a real core, whereas HT is the old P4 thingy, and the avg gains u see are 15% only..
Well AMD corrected that statement and said the 95% gain was not for mere 5% area increase but much more so that the core count for bulldozer is pretty odd!
A quad core bulldozer would be a present dual core with 2 additional integer cores. or you can look at it as 2 floating point cores disabled in quad core.
Anyways it will definitely push prices down. good for us. Waiting for upgrade since long!
