Sorrow Winder, congratulations on getting all the way out. BTW:

> Its what killed them at Dell when they had an actual competitive product.

What killed them at Dell was the Six Billion Dollars from Friendly Otis. They had product that they couldn't even give away because of OEMs fear of Intel retaliation.

It is so enjoyable, seeing excuses of those pretending cluelessness. But, congratulations, as stated above.

I don't mind being quiet about the past, except when the bullshit starts to flow.

I wouldn't be suprised if they give up a bit of frequency vs. older designs.

Given the nature of the major architectural changes I would expect Zen to
clock noticeably slower than previous AMD processors despite the shrink.

Zen uarch is much closer to current Intel designs. It will be interesting
to see how close to Intel they can get in frequency and power for the
same number of cores on the chip
