AMD Rome – is it for real? Architecture and initial HPC performance
Can anyone attribute the recent surge in AMD performance to recent hiring blitz or some other shift? I know they were struggling and trying out new things with bulldozer modules and trying to compartmentalize as much as possible. It reminds me of when Intel hired all those Israeli engineers who went back to the PIII design and miniaturized it, gaining performance by throwing away years of work on the P4.<p>Was there any of this at play recently at AMD?
