Sounds like an impressive chip, now my questions are:
How did AMD get ahead of Intel in the cores count? (Or why did Intel slow down?)
How's Intel going to answer to this?
Depends what you want. 12 stupid fast threads that equal roughly ~9 cores(I count HT as 1/2 core per thread) or 12 medium speed cores. About damn time this CPU hit the market, now we just need consumer 6 core CPUs at a decent speed.
