Simulations conducted in AMD laboratories indicate that certain database applications will see performance improvements up to 70 percent and certain floating point applications will experience performance gains of up to 40 percent over platforms powered by current dual-core AMD Opteron processors.
UP TO 70% for fcuk's sake. And why not? Most database applications are designed to use multiple processors. Like Oracle.
And in "CERTAIN APPLICATIONS".
@ Lordpope,
This is news, and worthy of pointing out, but once again, you choose to take the info out of context.
You have said you like to throw stuff out there and watch reactions, but you do not. As you have in the past, here you deliberately pervaricate information in such a manner as to cause conflict.
AMD did not say " K10 is 70% faster". As Jesse pointed out, buy quoting the actual article rather than taking information out of context, AMD "said"
simulations of
certain database applications
indicate performance gains of
up to 70%.
The title of your post is misleading and worse, for those who dont read or understand the article may falsely raise hopes by leaving the impression that Barcelona will offer a 70% across the board performance increase. Furthermore you clearly did not read the disclaimer at the bottom of the article.
