AVFS surely is as susceptible to OEM hardware design as Intel's Turbo solution. They're both doing the same thing, stepping up/down performance in response to thermal conditions and thread counts. The only slight advantage to AMD is that that can be a little more fine grained, but still a crappy thermal design from an OEM is still going to result in a chip that is throttling itself, just like we're seeing with Intel. We might end up closer to the optimal balancing point with AMD, but it's still going to be wildly different performance from manufacturer to manufacturer.
