Re: There are only a few possible explanations for the graph: A) The chart is not representing anything meaningful performance-wise, B) The chart is bogus, C) The non-core portions of the chip are over-engineered by an order of magnitude, D) Intel has come up with magic crystals that allow them to conquer Amdahls Law. E) the chart is measuring rasterization performance - one of the most embarassingly parallel workloads out there. Amdahl's Law does apply to the serial portion of the graphics engine, but not to the raw processing of millions of independent triangles into pixels.
