Because that is what Alsup is saying is NOT the case. (integer performance, yes, but integer performance/clock drops slightly in a thread, made up for by a faster clock)

Anything less than that statement could be satisfied through the not-in-dispute FP improvements, or the more cores part. It's got to be: Integer (not FP), IPC (or "performance/clock", not just "performance"), Single-threaded

Something like, "BD will have higher single-threaded integer performance/clock than the previous generation."

That would actually address (and contradict) the statement that Alsup made.
What difference does it make, either way? I'm starting to wonder if you and your buddies are'nt just sitting around your mothers basement drinking pop, laughing at all the sh1t you're stirring up in various AMD threads.
