OK now that would mean an 8 core Phenom II x8 would have 900 + 300 = 1200 mil transistors. The Bulldozer thingy has 2000 mil transistors, that's 66% more than a potential Phenom II x8. Now if the performance is 14 more compared to the 6 core Phenom II, the 8 core Phenom II would probably kick its .... rear and it would be cheaper to produce and have 8 real cores , not 8 shared ones.
So again , why do we have the Bulldozer , why does AMD have it ?
