The inter-core bandwidth has been proven at 197GB/s. The link from my percious post shows Intel Core i7 965XE's TOTAL bandwidth (cache, memory, and inter-core bandwidth) is 106GB/s. Plus, it only has 4 cores at 2 ops per clock. Also, I can't believe you talked about running code/apps not written for it's architecture! That's a bit like saying 2.4GHz PowerPPC processor would demolish an Intel Core i7 965XE at Linux written specifically for PPCs. LOL. It's just that the code is written to take advantage of different architectures. |
I would like to see those tests. If you get me ps3, I can also make program for it which runs fine on Xbox(original) and really doesn't run well on ps3 even if you find any expert to optimate that program in anyway but still making it function like original(Of course).
Btw, parallizing is very easy on homogeneous platform.
