Yup, the 32nm shrink helped a lot for the Atoms. Hopefully Temash's shrink to 28nm will give us the same sorts of savings again- plus the FCH is being integrated into the SoC, which will also help.
The delta. Plus differences in motherboards.
Anyway, other numbes with newer atoms:

O RLY?

give us one reason why jaguars power efficiency is going to be worse then atoms?
Yet the 28nm Brazos was cancelled. A product that takes up 39% of AMDs entire CPU shipment.
Now Jaguar/Temash gonna battle IB Celerons and Silvermont Atoms.
28nm Brazos was cancelled because it would have been badly delayed due to process issues, and they wanted to focus on shipping Jaguar instead.
Temash facing off with IB Celerons- that's not really going to happen. A 10W part with a 3W PCH, shipping in very low quantities, is not a mainstream tablet chip.
Silvermont Atoms? They're something far more interesting, and I'm looking forward to seeing how they do. Right now we don't know enough to really predict much about how they will compare to Temash. I just wish Intel was focusing more on them and giving us the kind of deep-dive presentations that they have for Haswell- it still feels like Atom is being neglected.
Yup. Even if some turn out to have some truth, the results won't be the same as as similar PCs. FI, eDRAM has been quite successful--to a point that I would be very surprised if the next MS set-top console lacked it--and programmer-visible eDRAM local store(s), and/or a large eDRAM LLC (I would be interested to see what something like BG's caches would do with low-power moderate-IPC low-core-count CPU), would make for something very different than our PCs, in practice, regardless of CPU tech used.I would take these rumours with a huge grain of salt. None of them make any real sense tbh.
Temash gonna compete with Atoms, not Celerons.

Test beds were different. Nice try.Yep typical xbitlabs, they do a lot of what seems to be good testing but it's horribly flawed at best, or biased depending on what they are reviewing. The original Brazos review shows a completely different story.
Test beds were different. Nice try.
Xbitlabs is the most untrustworthy site on the web and writes reviews based on a conclusion they got paid for. Notice how Brazos' power consumption miraculously increased by almost 75% at idle and some 50% at load?
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
That's why you disable one core of 8 in all chips so that you can salvage most faulty chips. The same will happen with the CUs of the GPU, and ways of the cache.
CPU:
- x64 Architecture
- 8 CPU cores running at 1.6 gigahertz (GHz)
- each CPU thread has its own 32 KB L1 instruction cache and 32 KB L1 data cache
- each module of four CPU cores has a 2 MB L2 cache resulting in a total of 4 MB of L2 cache
- each core has one fully independent hardware thread with no shared execution resources
- each hardware thread can issue two instructions per clock
GPU:
- custom D3D11.1 class 800-MHz graphics processor
- 12 shader cores providing a total of 768 threads
- each thread can perform one scalar multiplication and addition operation (MADD) per clock cycle
- at peak performance, the GPU can effectively issue 1.2 trillion floating-point operations per second
High-fidelity Natural User Interface (NUI) sensor is always present
Storage and Memory:
- 8 gigabyte (GB) of RAM DDR3 (68 GB/s)
- 32 MB of fast embedded SRAM (ESRAM) (102 GB/s)
- from the GPUs perspective the bandwidths of system memory and ESRAM are parallel providing combined peak bandwidth of 170 GB/sec.
- Hard drive is always present
- 50 GB 6x Blu-ray Disc drive
Networking:
- Gigabit Ethernet
- Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct
Hardware Accelerators:
- Move engines
- Image, video, and audio codecs
- Kinect multichannel echo cancellation (MEC) hardware
- Cryptography engines for encryption and decryption, and hashing
If this is true expect multi-threading in games to take off like a rocket once the consoles launch.
That info doesn't smell right. The diagram has "North Bridge" and "South Bridge", which is not what modern AMD platforms looks like. Both Trinity and Bobcat have only had a single FCH chip- only AM3+ has a two-chip solution(due to compatibility needs with AM3). Temash even goes as far as moving the FCH onto the SoC.
This says the integer execution units do not share resources, which would suggest that it would not be a Bulldozer derivative.It is possible that the CPU is Piledriver-based, but I doubt that.
