It looks like AMD concluded that it can't match Intel in single core performance and it would always have to throw 2 cores at every Intel core.
That's like saying that with K8 AMD concluded that couldn't match the higher cpu clocks of netburst and that would always have to throw more instructions per clock at Intel MHZ's.

Crysis 2 will support 8 cores, good luck with the single thread performance thing.
