Comment Amd Solved mem access problem (Score 1) 124

Well AMD has already solved that problem, AMD's DSDC is not designed for using 2 cpu's at once. The DSDC is designed for connecting RAM and other system resources as closely to the CPU without any latency. With amd's setup the ram connects through the DSDC, plus amd is shortening the distance between cpu's on DSDC for decreased latency. Oh an AMD is expecting 12.4GBps bandwidth for System Memory. If you want data Access go amd. You dont have SSE4, but you really dont have any apps that have SSE4 use, by the time its out AMD will prolly have SSE4 or something on the lines of that. AMD also has their Shared L3 cache between all cores, then you dont have to transfer information between cores on some other off cpu Controller. Memory Access speed = AMD, CPU clock speed = Intel. The Clock speed is only 10-15% for the penryn, the rest is Memory Access which AMD focused heavily on. If the major player in the New cpu speed is memory access AMD FTW
