AMD cuts to the core with 'Bulldozer' Opterons

interesting performance claims? is it just me, or do they seem weak?

16 cores,even done on 32nm would imply rather lowish clocks(in order to stay in the same power band as current six core Istanbul or future Magny Cours products). There will be Turbo-boost like tech in BD based MPUs,so besides the fact that throughput perf. will be great,the single thread perf. should go up considerably from where it stands now.
