Don't forget I am using Yonah as the baseline for Conroe's improvements and that I expect to be 5-10% better than P-M. Also I only expect L3 cache in Opteron dies. I would expect Conroe to have better integer ipc than standard K10 by ~10% with the L3 cache Server version coming very close. Also I am talking about server momentum in that cores per die part.

wbmw - re: "The Merom/Conroe generation fixes all these things except for IMC, and that will be fixed with Whitefield in 2007. With performance, power, and features at parity or close to it, AMD's momentum may end up reversed once again due to Intel's brand preference."

Do you really think AMD is going to effectively "stand still" in the meantime, while Intel makes all these improvements?
