From these graphs it looks like the unused cores are going into cnq idle mode, i wonder if its a good thing for performance.
Power consumption should be great tho.

I wonder how Intel did it, with Vista's thread bounce killing Phenom's performance when CnQ is enabled.
EDIT: I've read it (I forgot about it), Intel shuts their cores down

Phenom II's CnQ fixed it by throttling and clocking all cores to the same speed. Perhaps x6's turbo works the same way, just that they improved the power consumption when cores are clocked up, and decides turbo level depending on the overall core usage. Just my two cents.

Does Window 7 do thread bounce?

Phenom = CnQ 2.0
Phenom II = CnQ 3.0
Phenom II x6 = CnQ 3.1 I guess
