Does this suggest that AMD was ahead of their time?
From what I understand the FX processor was inefficiently utilized due to having more cores running at a lower frequency but the aim of the new APIs are to increase cross threading performance. Intel = less cores at a higher frequency, AMD = more cores at a lower frequency (from what I'm understanding)
What's funny is I had built our gaming PC in 2010 for Senior Project with an AMD quad core Phenom II processor running around 3.2ghz. My lil brother later upgraded to an FX 8 core something or another and I told him it was actually a downgrade but he wouldn't listen (because, more cores = better amirite? lol)
