content: Oh it's worse than that. Only the very top end CPU eve has the full amount of cache nearly all other generations included by default. Also I'm seeing a trend where base clock is going downwards. These fuckers can't even keep the base clock anymore when adding more CPUs, lol. My approximation is 4 GHz base, give no fucks about turbo (turbo tends to require much heavier cooling to maintain). Also, AMD doesn't seem to have problems pushing 3.9-4 GHz for stock (with more cores). I guess all those x86 backdoors cost a huge amount of performance to fix when AMD avoided putting most of that shit there in the first place. That means AMD has the better development of the architecture they LEASE from Intel.
