If the current CPUs can't take the full advantage of the hypertransport bus, then AMD's efforts are invain. One might argue that they did it thinking about the future. But what the hell? How can afford to think about a future, when they already don't have a future unless they get the things that matter, right. What I understand is that they are wasting their time and resources on things that don't matter at all. They have to reassess their priorities.And one thing I like about Intel is that they don't boast about things that they haven't yet accomplished. But look at AMD. They were so sure that their design was so superior to Intel Core 2 Duo and about 6 months before the K10 launch they were showing "hypothitical" benchmark scores to show how fast their K10 CPUs were. They even showed 3GHz overclock results, but up to now, "3GHz" is only for people who are "lucky" with overclocks. On the other hand, we hardly knew about the Core 2 Duo release until about one month to go before launch, and even then they didn't go big on it. They let the reviewers speak for themselves. (Sure, they had Core Duo released few months back and that was a pretty good CPU. We could predict the final results of the Core 2 Duo as well.)Anyways, looking at Intel Core 2 Duo, even at 65nm, they really got great yields out of the E6000 processors. zCexcVe might say that Intel used 45nm to boost their clock speeds, but what I think is their primary objective was to lower the power consumption. I mean, look at all the E6000 CPUs overclocking beyond 3.6GHz with ease. I believe they could have released 3.2GHz or even 3.4GHz CPUs officially on 65nm. But then the public would have moaned saying that the power consumption is too high. That's life. But the 65nm G0 stepping has really lowered the power consumption and they could have released a 3.2GHz or 3.4GHz CPU anyway....at least a dual core one.</blockquote>
