Now your just throwing conjecture to match your agenda, in no instance has David kanter said AMD have told him any IPC numbers specifically ..... given AMD have said much later on that they exceeded 40% and the CPC benchmarks align as well as the AMD shown benchmarks you need to rethink your position.
And now you're saying DK just randomly made up 40% is SPEC int rate because it suits you to disregard that.
Why don't you ask him if you're after facts?
The article has been around for months but was paid only. Today it's been opened up free so being linked from Twitter onwards.
Kanters prediction:
Ivy Bridge level overall.
Stronger in int than fp.
He has shown to have a far more accurate, knowledgeable and balanced opinion about mainstream processors over the past 15 years than anyone else.
Altho I don't quite follow him with some matters (LRB/Itanium), technically, he always had reasonable justifications.
