Have they switched to SMIC's N+1 process during since ? They can't exactly trust TSMC anymore ...

Flavor text for the link:
"It appears that a 70W, 8C version of this CPU is able to be definitively better than an 8C AMD Jaguar CPU @ 2.35ghz, in many cases beating it by double digit percentages! Except for when it doesn't and it's slower by significant margins."
I guess that is one way to "target" AMD.
Only many reviewers mixed pears and apples (little and big cores) and then wondered. Let's leave aside motivation or ignorance...
Waiting for Centaur Hauls. That is the real big deal from them.
All processors wich you compared only in passmak are based on the architecture of big cores.
My review is called Rise of the small cores.
The Excavator processor architecture is big. So, while the cores are small, the blocks FE/LS/FPU/BUS/L2 are all relatively large. Which is the legacy of AMD's big OoO queues for server/HPC for post-K8/Greyhound architectures. K9 (5GHz Operton) had it and K10 (Bulldozer) had it. Which in turn continued to develop in that direction, both SR/XV had bigger OoO queues than BD/PD. Even though they never appeared in the true Server/HPC product lines. So, yes A8-9600 CPU processors are huge, big, large, grand, ginormous, etc.A8-9600 has "big cores"? Sure, whatever.
