if only increasing the core count actually improved performance....

 

Show offs lol.

 

YEah... can this run my photoshop any faster than a C2D?

 

it would probably run it slower since it's not exactly a market product, it's just a demonstration that it can be done.

 

Then why brag about it?

 

because it's a giant step ahead of anything else.

and it's 3 years earlier than promised.

 

holy ----, 80 cores! i wonder how much cache it has lol

 

probably 1mb or 2, it's not a production ready thing.

 

ahh ok, i was hoping it had like a 1gb l2 cache

 

if it had 1GB l2 cache, it wouldn't exist. cache is very expensive and hard to manufacture,

they'de never do that for a prototype.

chances are it had only a very SMALL amount of cache. The diea si tog et 80 cores running ASAP, not to get 80 cores running well ASAP.

 

^ that makes sense.
