Looks like the gap remains about where it is. (SB over BD ~= Nehalem over Ph-II)

And for client, then consider that by the time BD launches for it, Intel will likely be shipping the *mainstream* versions of Ivy Bridge at 22nm!
Yeah they are DOOMED!1!1!
How about we wait and see them compared,side by side,out of the box in client workloads before making doomsday scenario prediction
