Intel is not using its power efficiency advantage till 8 core haswell. Intel don't need to improve drastically as they are already on a sensational level. Its true that amd need 8 core to compete against intel 4 cores.
Ridiculous... the differences in performance ARE RIDICULOUS.
I've shown you from HPC world how to be possible to have
10x more performance out of the same metal at the same speed, and you talk about 10 to 20% difference in "windows world" as something "sensational" ? ... don't be ridiculous also...
Besides you are all mixed up, in REAL WORLD, multithreading by 8 cores, even if they are somehow restricted, will always win for 4. The problem is that windows world doesn't have those much "threads", Intel doesn't need 8 real cores when software is not even 4 threads generalized.... IPC is plateaued, bulk is not prone to high clocks, though in this clock department, things are also not going much higher under the current FAB processes... only rests to Intel... and AMD for that matter... to rely on "propaganda" to sell OLD deigns as something sensational LOL (are you part of it ?)
If i'm campaigning, i'm campaigning for ppl to see if they want an "evolution" FIRST they must ask for more thread software, more, better, more performant software...
the current paradigma is in a dead end... and without wanting to be biased i think we can thank a lot intel with their single-thread mantra for the situation, Windows client/desktop will be fine with 4 cores for a lot of time to come, there is no "incentive" to "evolve" in that world.
Real disgusting is to see the marketing departments "invent" new tricks to push the same old same... soon self appointed morons or payed posters will fill forums with posts evangelizing 2 or 3% differences as something of the other world LOL... no wonder ARM is winning, the Windows Traditional Desktop is in a self inflicted paralysis.
But there is hope... if the "powers" of the traditional PC world don't evolve, perhaps ARM will, perhaps a major mass change can be brewing in the cauldron of events.
