Quote:I think I read that Llano has a 10% higher IPC than Phenom II
Fixed that for you. And yes llanos IPC is essentially comparable to core 2 duo/quad.
@Squall
The quotes you listed hit the nail on the hammer but fail to mention a lot of the major contributors to the microarchitectures poor performance. Such as the ALUs pipeline configuration(2 full pipes, 1 pipe that only handles loads, and 1 pipe that only handles stores, whereas phenom II ALUs have three full pipelines). There are lots of detailed analysis articles/papers out there but I like this one a lot in particular: http://www.agner.org/optimize/microarchitecture.pdf
Edit: Fixed. Thanks Shonumi.
