Of course we want more cores, but there's got to be some processing power behind each of those cores, and intel is running away with it in brute force. Hopefully AMD's bulldozer will exceed i7 performance per clock. If it doesn't, I find it hard to believe that it will be fully competitive in its first generation. AMD will be playing the pricing game again instead of the performance game.
its no right man x6 1090T is simillary to i7 965 3 GHz in performance. So, 6 real cores or 8 virtual cores ? In render + encoding(Cinema studio, POV-RAY and high encoding- 4 and more videos in real time) is overall Thuban better. And look at price
