Thanks for the link
I don’t know if AMD will be using my 2+ MB but the Idea that they will never catch up with Intel as an Issue, someone addressed this well
“That’s OK. x86 performance increases have slowed to the point where it’s not as hard to catch up. AMD will reach performance parity with Intel sometime within the next 2 - 3 years because it will cost Intel more than the market can bear to stay ahead of AMD. It’s already costing more than the market can bear to significantly increase x86 speeds, which is why the x86 performance increase curve is flattening out (witness the stagnation in single core performance increases in the past 2 - 3 years)”
Slowing unit sales of the processors we use to build tower computers where interchangeable parts and performance parts
is most important to us and I agree has slowed down speedier cpu’s.
They gave us more cpu cores but the OS and Software usually doesn’t support them all being used.
Only Photoshop of consumer programs tries to utilize the extra cores.
Depends upon the user. Many of my Linux programs make full use of multiple cores. My current desktop flies. (I7)
I hope that AMD can keep up with, and even threaten Intel, because competition is what makes things better for all of us. Everyone benefits, regardless of what you end up using.
