Fyo, Re: "Many of the benchmarks you cite are extremely memory bandwidth-sensitive. Others are extremely cache-sensitive. In both these cases, it is not unreasonable to assume that a Clawhammer will do very well (compared to an Athlon, given the higher bandwidth to memory, much lower latency to memory and larger L2 cache). Sledgehammer, with its 128bit memory controller will do extremely well." It sounds like you're saying that the 25% IPC number is only for the most conservative, non-memory intensive benchmarks, and that it should be much higher in other cases. Why not consider that 25% may be an optimistic number, only achievable in very memory intensive tests? In other words, AMD is most likely hyping Hammer as much as they can, and any performance estimates could create mismanaged expectations, in typical AMD fashion. wbmw
