> It's the fact that slices can be dynamically scheduled across all four slices which makes it "not bulldozer" in my mind, and I don't think the presence of a mode that does statically partition superslices should make it "like bulldozer", even if that is the most common mode. It's just an optimisation.
Well, its certainly a Bulldozer-like mode of operation :-)
Power9 is obviously a very different chip than Bulldozer. So I guess it all comes down to opinion, whether or not the chip is similar enough to warrant a comparison.
