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

QUOTE(komag @ Sep 21 2007, 05:14 AM) What is AMD about to release on September 25, 2007? Venom sounds like Phenom... QUOTE(ikanayam @ Sep 21 2007, 09:17 AM) 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... QUOTE Usually more cache = higher power consumption Nope cache is pretty low power compared to other parts of the CPU.
