When you can't make 4 make 3 and call it a feature. biggrin.gif

But it'll be interesting to see how AMD markets this one: duals are cheap and quads are just slightly costlier; any tri-core would have to fit in the small gap in between. AMD already has their hands full with the fallout from Barcelona's muted launch and lukewarm market response + getting Phenom out. More SKUs = more work = more issues.

Venom sounds like Phenom...

So explain what your hint at G0 was about. We are interested to see what exactly you are thinking.
And you are basing the whole future of a chip on rumors relating to a new stepping. I'm not sure your arguments are more credible.

Ah he's going to doublespeak on the whole B1/BA/B2 stepping again...

Usually more cache = higher power consumption

Nope cache is pretty low power compared to other parts of the CPU.
