And what is the advantage of having "true" Quad core ?? Almost noting....
Better bandwith, and the ability to share the 2MB L3 cache with all four cores.
Which is something AMD will have a huge lead in, especially with their Hypertransport bus at 4GHZ
What if Intel quad cores outperforms AMD "true" quad core ? Then which one you recommend ?
It's easy to ask "what if?"
but unless it actually equals reality, I don't bother.
Four cores on one chip is still better, irrespective.
We need to look at the overall performance of processor !! Who cares if it is 4 core on one die or not ?
AMD, obviously. Four cores on one die is faster than two dual core dies.
There are architecture difference between intel and AMD processors, so we can't judge which processor is better by just looking at their microarchitecture. We need to look at benchmarks to see which one is better........
And AMD already has made a much improved architecture for K10.
All four cores will have 128-bit FPU's, a pipeline that retains its 12 stages (instead of C2D's 14 - lower is better), but at the same time increases the IPC to 4, as well as lowering latencies, improving virtualisation, branch prediction, and the speed that instructions can actually get to the cores (which the faster hypertransport bus also helps with).
And that's not all.
