Really? I mean, you can practically rephrase those slide bullets as "when designing BD, we prioritized throughput on multithreaded workloads over single-threaded performance."

AMD has said over and over again it is designed for the "throughput era" of computing, blah blah. The signs are all there. And the design elements that have just been revealed point that way, too. (And remember how just a few days ago, all the fans were convinced each core would have 4 ALUs, because having 2 would be a step back? Now that AMD says "2", suddenly, oh, 2 is wonderful! More would be a waste! )

Of course one of their marketing guys is going to push back on this to a client-based audience, that's what marketing folks get paid to do.
