Bigger caches ? Where ?Bigger caches ? Where ?Posted Feb 13, 2008 20:23 UTC (Wed) by hmh (subscriber, #3838)In reply to: Bigger caches ? Where ? by man_ls Parent article: vmsplice(): the making of a local root exploit
In mainstream consumer CPUs, maybe the clocks have stabilized (which IS a good thing, we already waste too much power just to do office work). Look at the IBM Power6 for some high-clock cores...

Except that apparently they had a lot of difficulty ramping up the clock.. Plus their CPU does *in order* integer processing which induce a loss of efficiency.. It'd be interesting to have a study which analyse whether going in order for integer processing to increase the clock really did improve performance or if it was just a marketing gimmick a la P4.
Power 6 clock high-score and real performance Posted Feb 23, 2008 17:14 UTC (Sat) by anton (guest, #25547) [Link] It'd be interesting to have a study which analyse whether going in order for integer processing to increase the clock really did improve performanceTake a look at SPEC CPU 2006 results. Last I looked, a 4.7GHz Power6 had similar speed to a 3GHz Core 2 Duo 6850 in both SPECint2006 and SPECfp2006 results.
