If you look at the graph, they all rail at 60 FPS, they did not turn off Vsync or remove the cap from the .ini ... it was a worthless bench more or less other than concluding AMD's best could barely even push it to the 60 FPS cap.
Indeed, the take home message is the same whether it is the old IDC data set cubic fit or the theoretical quadratic functionality, voltage is the largest power modulator knob.
With all due respect to IDC, Abwx is correct, in the limit that Pdynamic >> Psatatic and Pdynamic >> Psc, the power is quadratic with respect to voltage and linear with repect to frequency.

If those assumptions above...
This did not seem correct.... A google yielded this

Did you mean an old old A64 core like 2005-2005 era or the more recent stars cores?
Indeed, Intel's cache implementation far exceeds what is found in the Bulldozer/Piledriver core.
Consumers couldn't careless about die size, but AMD sure does.... Being competitive has two faces, the consumer side (which you are ineffectually arguing) and the cost side (which you are...
Now, overclock each to the best stable and 24x7 usable OC and rerun these tests. Who would win?
People's point is that AMD's flagship is topped to the hilt on die space, power, and usable clock and you can barely call it competitive. If used by enthusiast who do enjoy squeezing more via an...
Worst from Intel -- hands down,Prescott. Best From Intel -- the quad penryns OCed nicely, then Sandy turned out very good, hard to pick.
AMD best? opty 130 or the x2 3800. Worst from AMD -- K5 or Agena (Phenom I) would be my votes.
The worst CPU I have ever owned has to be a tie between...
Samsung is working on ARM based server parts for release in 2014, at 32 bits ARM is inadequate for a large server application, but with instruction set V8 it becomes viable.

Hmmmmm doesn't look like the new scheduler did much to improve the situation.
Maybe the benefit is observable on the 8T chip.
P.S. I generally do not trust THg data.
At the time AMD announced the intention to acquire ATI, ATI had a market cap of about 4.6 billion, AMD had a market cap of around 8 1/2 billion. Right now AMD is about 2 billion.
A few googles you will find cases, based on market caps, were ATI surpassed nVidia a few times.
Overall, the ati...
Take a quick peak over at S|A on the layoffs

If Charlie's take on this is correct it is not looking good.
