I've also heard rumors of things like 4-way SMT. Of course, that's still a ways off (if it ever materializes).

- Symmetry 7y agoI wouldn't put much stock in that particular rumor unless AMD is going all in on servers to the detriment of consumer chips. Or maybe they're developing two cores but they've been working hard to re-use engineering effort until now. They don't have the number of silicon engineers that Intel has and not even Intel is developing separate server and consumer cores.
- snagglegaggle 7y ago4 and 8 way SMT exists on IBM POWER8/9.
- labawi 7y agoPlease don't. Or rather, please just give me enough cores at a reasonable price so I can disable inevitably leaky SMT.
