infoworld.com — "Barcelona is a new CPU, not a doubling of cores and not extensions strapped on here and there. Get ready to be blown away long before its release, which is scheduled for midyear." New power management scheme, 4 cores each with a dedicated L2 cache and new vector math unit. 80% speed up for floating point math.

As much as I hate Microsoft in general, it was a pleasant surprise to see the little AMD logo in their Vista ads.

@xnacoderhe is getting dugg down for implying that it will run hotter than what is currently out there. people who are digging him down might understand that with the current processors coming out (basically anything after the P4), power management (and therefore heat output) is one of the primary concerns.basically it was a retarded question. if it was a real question it would have been phrased differently. you got dugg down because you didn't understand it was retarded.

@copernic you do realize that modern processors use risc but emulate x86, right? quit watching the movie "hackers".
