Looks like desperation to me.
I believe AMD's technology and furthermore strategy is superior to intel's. Now with Xilinx on board I am curious if we will see GPU's or APU's with FPGA's which allow custom hardware instructions.
- moffkalast 4y agoI'm really not sure what's the point of this either. Some AMD FXs were clocked to 5GHz back in the day and it sure didn't help them with performance much, they just had to ship with water coolers as stock because they overheated like crazy. Meanwhile an Intel i5 of the time could run faster at half the clock speed. I suspect this'll be a similar blunder but companies reversed in some stroke of irony.
- wmf 4y agoThe difference is that Bulldozer (and NetBurst before it) was a bad design. Golden Cove and Zen 4 are both excellent and quite similar core designs with nearly identical IPC so the difference between 5.7 and 6.0 GHz is the difference between being #1 (by a hair) and being #2.
- terafo 4y ago5% clock difference can be dealt with using AMD's 3d V-Cache. Hundred megs of cache goes a long way.
