We wont know that until we see the prices. Realistically, it will compete in the same realm as usual (vs 4c/4t and 4c/8t Intel chips) but we can always pray that AMD has something good enough to take on a 6c/12t chip.Originally Posted by Abs.exe
What does that mean, which Intel series is it challenging ?
i5 or i7 ?

" Thats over 1100% the jump we saw from Bulldozer to Piledriver! "
No it doesn't, i don't have a bunch of numbers but fx@5ghz scores ~1.35 in cinebench 11.5 while you can exceed 2.1 with Haswell. Some say cinebench 11.5 is somewhat biased, but even with the performance penalty from running both cores in a module, piledriver is nowhere near haswell in terms of IPC, the gap is like 50-60%. It's expected to be worse, considering the module design and the fact that unlocked 8 core piledriver is significantly cheaper than intel's lowest end unlocked quad core. 30% higher IPC and other stuff steamroller brings would be godly though, 20% would be awesome.
they are talk about a 1100% increase...thats OVER 9000!Originally Posted by Abs.exe
100% ---> 103%
103% ---> 135%
It will also have LOL, ROFL, and dont forget HUMA as well.Originally Posted by Moragg
True 8 core Steamroller that can OC to 4.8GHz? My body and wallet are ready.
Out of interest, will this have all the acronyms we've been hearing about (hQ and HSA and whatever else)?
And thats where you lost all credibility to your argument.Originally Posted by Cyro999

Cinebench is multithreaded but its possibly the worst benchmark outside of superpi to compare AMD to Intel.Originally Posted by Caldeio
I'm going off 3dmark11 physics. 30% would take a 8350 to a 3-4770k level. Im pretty sure it's single thread benchmark. I've never tried cinebench is it multi-threaded?
