amd bulldozer 12 cores, 48 w/hyperthreading?!?!?
- Thread starter just dan
- Start date
this will almost kill intel if it works well 
Where did you see 12 cores in that article? I could have missed it, but I read "more than 4 cores, more than 8MB cache, and supports DDR3". I did see the last sentence but wasnt sure if that was the "HT" or actual cores.
Anyway, "HT" FTW!

16 cores for opteron in 2011, which means 2012 for desktop, if it ever happens.

There is little that can put a quad into full load currently short of synthetics.
a 16core desktop is ludicrous at best IMO.
WOO HOO I can run 47 instances of Firefox, email, IE, Opera, AND EvE at the same time and still manage to rip bluerays with zero issue!

Depends what those cores are doing. If you have a system with 16 ULV cores that can power themselves completely off depending on load, it could save a ton of power during typical use, while still having enough juice to run demanding stuff.

I think he saw the "16 cores" on the bottom article.

AMD will use a type of multithreading, NOT HYPERTHREADING (SMT). SMT is trash in the eyes of AMD. AMD will use CMT, Cluster-based Multi-threading, which you will hear about in the future. Or you can read my post on XS which highlights some of Dresdenboy's findings. Enjoy:http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=232784
AMD set out to do this in 2005 and it seems they are ON TRACK! Click the link above to find more.

looks like a server design, the home pc market will likely see 6 and 8 core 32 nm chips before this bulldozer design, and amd's new line of chips will incorporate "variations" of this bulldozer, I doubt we will get a cpu for home use of this scale in 2011.
still no plans for AMD to use Rambus XDR2, I suppose if it were cost effective both vendors would be using it right now, you can clearly see how ddr3 is a joke and just bottle necks performance, 1.33ghz-1.6ghz < 8ghz+ to bad us consumers are so cheap right?
