AMD Unveils Barcelona Quad-Core Details 206
mikemuch writes, "At today's Microprocessor Forum, Intel's Ben Sander laid out architecture details of the number-two CPU maker's upcoming quad-core Opterons. The processors will feature sped-up floating-point operations, improvements to IPC, more memory bandwidth, and improved power management. In his analysis on ExtremeTech, Loyd Case considers that the shift isn't as major as Intel's move from NetBurst to Core 2, but AMD claims that its quad core is true quad core, while Intel's is two dual-cores grafted together."

So Intel's Ben Sander claims that AMD's claim is that Intel claims that their dual-cores grafted together qualify as quad-core technology? That's not confusing at all.

Clearly "Bill Gate's" is shorthand for "Bill Gate has", not referring to Microsoft's Bill Gates at all, and you can't actually *prove* he didn't delcare that in 1981, nobody knowing what "delcare" means.
The joy and marvel of logic at play!
