Anyway personally I prefer hard numbers, so all this theoretical mindgames arn't my cup of tea.
only that every "fact" he postet was already debunked several posts earlier (actually in the BD news in the OP)

the 2 AGU / 2 ALU isn't genuine at all as the new units made Bulldozer wider than K8 was which was able to do only a total of 3 AGU / ALU operations at the same time; Bulldozer is cap able of doing a total of 4 agu/alu operations at the same time

additionally Single threaded IPC has to increase to make 8 cores running at 90% of their peak performance (each core in a BD module, when both cores are fully utilized, runs at 90% of the performance compared to a single BD core with an unutilized second core in its own module)
so all cores in the 150% faster statement by AMD have to run at only 90% of their peak single thread performance, which makes calculating single thread IPC even more complicated than ever before
