No, I am not saying that. Until the products are out it is impossible for anyone to say what it will be relative to the competition.

My point is that you will have multiple architectures with multiple core counts.

What if you have a V4 and a V6 engine? Do you worry about the "per cylinder" performance or the whole engine performance.

If you are going to head down the path of single core performance, then you have to be fair and also address the per core price and power. Otherwise you are cherry picking your data points and you are not getting a fair comparison.

As for transistor count, we don't release that until launch.
