AMD's Bobcat and Bulldozer

What if there are multiple threads with lots of AVX instructions? Single module can only feed one AVX instruction at a time, or two 128-bit SSEx instructions, or 4 64-bit FPU instructions, right?

Up to <number of modules> threads running AVX there should be no performance penalty as long as there is no other FP instructions in the fly. More there are, lower the AVX performance will be. And if one adds more AVX threads, the FPU units will just starve and there is no performance improvement?

In short: If I want to do lots of AVX, I can only run <number of modules> threads for improved performance?

by the time this what if comes there will be more powerfull cpu's cappable of doing more then a single avx instruction per core etc....

and anyway isnt avx a better suited instruction for massive multimedia task in term of the way it process the info ???? so even if the cpu's might be limited by that fact they will most likely finish their job easily right ????
