the latency is more giving it to clock more higher....
same as ram latency... u may see why ddr3 latency so high with higher mhz...
it is due to 65nm technologies...
more smaller capacitor less heat...
Supposedly yes, the higher latency is allowing it to clock higher, but it doesn't really seem to be like this for AMD's 65nm procs. Brisbane doesn't overclock better than Windsor, even G1 loses to F3 (only G2 pulls up even). I suspect it was due to design issues, the original cache controller design couldn't work properly under the different characteristics of smaller transistors. Its most likely, since Phenom's main issue is also the cache controller.

Just read one review for intel Dual Core and Quad Core Q66.
Forgot what the model for Dual Core

For Quad Core, it take almost double power consumption as Dual Core.

I think the same goes to Phenom

Not sure though. Hehe
If want to go Quad, prepare money for electric bill as well. Hahahahah
-pWs-Its true for C2D & C2Q, but for AM2 its more like one Phenom = 1.5 Athlon X2 power consumption. Power consumption per core dropped quite a lot in G2, then Phenom.

these days processor applications performance are not calculated by PI anymore. PI is just one way to bench your proc and should not be taken as the only result you need to grab a processor.
Not really, PI is used to compare single core performance using basic instruction sets. Many applications still aren't multithreaded (especially games) and a fair number of apps don't really benefit from SSE so PI reflects performance in those applications.

WALAU EH...this budak ah...wei...jangan lari ah...
Wait for me....wait ah...let me lap my F3, lap my waterblock, lap my hand 1st
jiak lat!

While you're at it, you might as well remove the IHS..save all that trouble lapping..and get better temps too..
But don't do it if you're gonna use a clip on air cooler later on..only screw on coolers..clip on coolers are core crushers.
