I thought of that, but it didn't make much sense, as saying the power rating of a current quadcore is a very broad term. Oh well, hardly unexpected... |
What it means (I assume) is that the highest-power current quad-cores will be the same power as the highest-power 12 cores (i.e. 105W). The performance increases I quoted are likewise for the highest-end model. But I imagine similar scaling will take place at all price points.
Think of it as, "In 2010 I able to buy a chip for the same price and power consumption as chip X but 160% faster."
