Intel just managed to get a negative performance increase by doubling the number of cores from 4 to 8 on 'multi threaded software'. Can please someone explain to me how is this possible ??? Someone must have screwed up big time, but that just doesn't quite say it.
Even worse the negative performance increase is achieved by using Intel's best architecture, Core 2.
At this point I'm quite sure Intel's 45 nm upcoming chips won't make much difference in 2007, the FSB it's killing them.
And I thought AMD 4x4 launch was poor ... well actually 4x4 managed to bring positive performance increase ...
Share you thoughts on this with me, please!
No you AMD fanboy. That's why a FX-62 outpaces a FX-74 in single threaded applications :roll:
This is not the case on single thread applications running on multi core CPU but the case of multi threaded software that actually benefits from multi core getting a negative performance increase by doubling the number of cores, which is an entirely different issue.
And don't call me a fanboy!!Good Luck with that.
Hey I'm not a AMD fanboy, I've owned several Intel PC and only one AMD it was a K6-III, even now my rig is on Intel ... no matter how much this upsets you Intel true fan boys there's something wrong in the Clovertown picture and I was hoping to get some smart answers not this.
I agree servers should be tested using server software but I don't see any reason why a perfectly good threaded application that takes full advantage of multicore should not receive any kind of advantage by doubling the number of cores....I didn't mean to imply that you are. What i meant was GL with AM stopping calling you a fanboy. Telling him to stop calling you a fanboy, won't work. AM can be quite headstrong, at times.
