(I was trying to emphasize that with the AMD design, at least, it's still |
| 11 |
a single piece of silicon, only with two functionally separate cores, like |
| 12 |
two CPUs in one but cooperating a bit better than two entirely separate |
| 13 |
CPUs would, and chose the wrong wording to convey what I wanted, so ended |
| 14 |
up conveying something rather different, instead. =8^\ ) |
