What's going to hit the fan is 2012, when GloFo stops eating the losses for the horrendous yields on 32nm products, and AMD gets them instead.
Note to CEO Rory: Stop with the buzzword bingo and never, ever use the word "execution" more than once in a sentence. It was so bad I had to stop...
Remember that Intel first shipped 32nm parts in Q4 2009, and launched Westmere in Q1 2010.
So 32nm will be around for the standard ~2 years before 22nm takes over.
I didn't say that. :rolleyes:
I'm impressed with Intel confirming volume production of 22nm in Q3 2011 -- (and note, expected to qualify for sales in late Q4) -- given the state of the rest of the manufacturing industry:
- GloFo floundering about with bad 32nm yields and leakage, planning on...
Also, Romley SB-EP has been shipping since Q3.

Consider also the context of a few days after BD gets released, and termed a "let down" by virtually everyone...
I mean, if SB was a "let down".... BD was... I'm not sure there are words... ;)
Mmmmm... I wouldn't put it quite that way. The difference from SB --> IB is, per Anand:
I wonder if there are more choices besides 100% to a single thread and 50%-50% between 2 threads... based on actual thread demand? Say one thread really only wants 25% of some internal structure... can...
No. SB dynamically allocates power, so it can use the whole 95W for the CPU portion if the iGPU is not engaged. Intel's marketing slide decks even had graphics illustrating this around SB launch.

Also, AMD ACP != AMD TDP. AMD tries to stick mainly to their silly ACP marketing invention...
I think Paul makes a fair point here:

The engineers who worked on BD were pretty straight forward in their ISSCC
and Hotchips papers that they were emphasizing frequency
and throughput over IPC. Comments...
The 3820 has 4 memory channels and more L3. That's why it's better.
But feel free to infer that all 22nm LGA1155 3700 series clock speeds must be lower than a 32nm LGA2011 3800 series part clock speed if that floats your boat. :rolleyes:
Clocks are not expected to rise much from SB1155 to...
Assuming BD was great in the server space, one would think that AMD might have had some basic server benchmarks to release along with/before the Zambezi disaster, in order to cushion the blow.
Has anyone seen any spec_rate benches for Valencia or Interlagos yet? Anything from TPC?
