as did the other apps besides F.E.A.R.
Mmmm, so "ignoring the apps that showed a performance increase, there was no performance increase". Good one.
AMD may not even get to 3GHz without 65nm, and if they do, it will be a high wattage, boutique part against Intel's mainstream 65W part.
Just because you say it makes it almost certainly not so.
You're forgetting that Rev F is also reducing power, aren't you? You've forgotten about AMD's new gen SiGe strain, haven't you?
frequency doesn't scale perfectly in all apps,
It has proven to scale much better w/performance with the K8 with its IMC.
I don't buy it.
Why not?
L3 cache is a ficticious item,
Sounds like you're pretty scared of the notion. This'll be yet another wbmw misprediction.
it wouldn't raise performance 10% across the board.
But on specially designed Intel demos for a part with 4MB of cache?
