Eracer- Thanks for the clarification. However you're being a bit Doug-like in your selection. It reads much better is you include the following paragraph: AMD didn't make the misstep of a Pentium 4, it made a solid evolutionary step to K8 from K7. Griffin's execution core and underlying architecture is based on the current generation 65nm K8 design, not Barcelona/Phenom. You can take everything you are looking forward to being in Phenom and throw it out the window, as AMD is starting from the same K8 core that launched in 2003. By no means is it a bad starting point, but thankfully AMD did toss in some enhancements. Griffin gets a new North Bridge, a new memory controller, a power optimized Hyper Transport 3 interface and a 1MB L2 cache per core. Griffin will still be built on a 65nm process as AMD will have, at best, only begun its 45nm production by the time Griffin debuts. This thing sounds OK to me. However, I am rather disturbed that they issued a press release at this moment. I would like to see press releases about Barcalounger. A negative indicator, IMHO.
