Bulldozer prototype suggests AMD shooting for Sandy Bridge performance
Submitted by l33tdawg on Thu, 2011-07-14 11:10
AMD's Bulldozer processor architecture still hasn't formally launched, but Donanim Haber got a hold of a recent engineering sample with benchmarked speeds that come close to Intel's current Sandy Bridge CPUs. With the ability to run limited cores at up to 4.2GHz, it could potentially outperform comparable Intel hardware at certain workloads.
