But C32 and G34 will be working.

i don't understand fully this part in anandtech review :

The 3rd ALU does have some performance benefits, and AMD canned it to reduce die size, but AMD mentioned that the 4-wide front end, fusion and other enhancements more than make up for this reduction. In other words, while there’s fewer single thread integer execution resources in Bulldozer than Phenom II, single threaded integer performance should still be higher.
Why a 2 Alu core could be faster than a 3 ?

WTF if there is not 4 alu and 3 agu per core, where is integer performance ?

I'm afraid about this too :

Branch Prediction and a Deeper Pipeline

Bulldozer will use a deeper pipeline with less logic per stage compared to current Phenom II/Opteron processors. AMD argues that this will ensure clock speed won’t be a problem with the design and we should expect to see Bulldozer based products at similar if not higher clock speeds than what we have today with Phenom II.
Same clockspeed + deeper pipeline.
