Replies to post #4880 on AMD strictly moderated (AMD)

[mas]

I saw the lecture as well having read other interviews with leading AMD figures. They all say the same thing, the IMC is responsible for the lions share of the improvement between K7 and K8. Only a persistent obstinate fool would contend otherwise with these actual 20% figures being quoted. Stop hiding behind words, find actual links which back up what you have been asserting and not just a shopping menu list of changes. Look at slide 28 of this document. No ifs, buts or maybes for you to hide and skulk behind this time
