Hmmm, details? Except for the APUs, AMD and recent yields false. ;-) (AFAIK, the latest chips have been released in 2012 or early 2013; no Steamroller update, still 32 nm, and the server and "high-end" desktop chipsets are even older and outdated -- PCIe 2.0, SATA II (!) and USB 2.0.) Given 16 AMD "cores" and the clock speed, I guess this is a dual-8-"core" (3.1/3.2 GHz) Opteron 43xx/63xx machine. /rant Hopefully AMD will get a bit more competitive with Zen (dropping XOP which is broken in any GCC release although AMD themselves contributed, and the module concept, where pairs of "cores" share a couple of resources.) -leif -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mpir-devel" group.
