AMD Barcelona dwarfs Intel's quad core performance
Compared to Intel, AMD Barcelona is advanced single die quad core in 65nm.
Really. Intel's two dies are mainly mutually blocked due to weak inter core bus. But, look at the Barcelona internal bus, at the center of chip. Obviously, there is something called system throughput, AMD insisit on its future multicores.
I pick the best, so there is no room for loyalty in high technology. To be precise, the marketing materials are predicting a 70% TPC? increase on a per-processor basis compared to Intel's essentially dual cores.
Ok, let say sustained 35% advantage might be quite enough. :)
