Let's just remind the resident intel fans doing the shift this evening @ XS that Bloomfield has approx. ~22% IPC advantage,on average(variety of workloads,mostly MT with a mix of single thread apps) over same clocked Deneb(SMT on,Turbo off). So no,a Thuban with Turbo mode for poorly threaded apps. and 50% more real cores (that also do turbo if utilization is below 6 cores) will compete more than fine with Bloom and Lynnfield lines.
