AMD Phenom II x6 Thuban

Your like talking to a brick wall LOL J/k

I am basically saying that an OS cant fully utilize every part of a quad core

I am NOT saying that Windows uses 100%


Edit: Why wouldnt you want an OS/Games to utilize all of the proc? The more it can use the more you got for your money.
 
what im tryin to say is that wouldnt it be better for an os to only use like 5% so that you have 95% left for apps?
 
Yes it would but, you are still stuck on the fact that you think im talking about it actually using 100%. When, I am saying that it should have the ability to use 100%

NVM Can someone else explain it to him? He's a tough cookie to crack
 
oh ok, i thought u meant it would be good for windows to use 100% and im really tired. night everyone

That's like saying a disk defrager can't use 100% of your video card, lol.
 
Not really iimpressed with this. First it has 2 less threads than an i7 so it's behind already and when the i9 with it's 12 threads comes out AMD will really be lagging behind.

Ehh, if eventually some apps actually utilize 6 cores I think it will be better to have 6 cores/thread than 8 threads w/only 4 cores.

The Thuban is a Phenom II with basically just 2 extra cores stuck on there, so it should be an AM3 processor and hopefully it will only require a Bios update on AM3/AM2+ boards to run one. Bulldozer will probably be a completely different socket, but who knows.

This processor was never meant to compete with those. AMD is just releasing it just to say they have a X6. Its nothing but a Deneb with 6 cores.

AMD is not going to try to compete with the i series till Bulldozer is released. Brand new architecture at 32nm.
 
I am for cores that have more processing power versus more cores on a processor. Most software just is not programmed to utilize more and more cores.
 
Why have I not heard of Bulldozer? The only computer-oriented Bulldozer I know of is the computer case: GMC Bulldozer... GMC THE MAKER OF TOAST!
