snowdog said: Expresso isn't a scaled up Gekko or Broadway. There are similarities but both of those are single core CPUs that can't clock over 1GHz. It's a common misconception that Expresso is '3 x Broadways duct-taped together'. All we know for certain is that both the CPU and GPU have been customised up the wazoo. |
People who say Espresso is three overclocked Broadways miss one very important factor; Espresso has 12 times as much L2 cache as Broadway.
