AMD cuts to the core with 'Bulldozer' Opterons

[SEA]

Read my latest post, if bulldozer scales better and still only delivers 50% with 33% more cores. That means that it will have less performance increase in single threaded applications than 12.5% per core. In order to perform better, combined with better scaling, it would be more than 50% increase in multithreaded applications.

OK, now i see your point. But I don't get why would you bring 50% to core performance, if you don't know scaling factor, frequencies factor???
In this particular case, the server chip, performance per core lowered to have more cores while staing in same ACP (power package).
And that gives us the clue what 50% really means:
Having same ACP as MC the BD will bring these extra 50%.
In this light your 12.5 is absolutely meaningless. sorry.

That number is for the second core inside module, it can't represent the scaling going from one module to four or eight.

So how would one expect scaling more than 90% if half of all cores are 80%??? sorry.
