BD version 2011 will be around 10-35% faster than Stars cores gen ,per core and per clock ,with much higher clock potential and 33% more cores to start with. This alone should put AMD in very competitive position,apart from the previously mentioned part about compact core/module design and modularity/scalability of BD design.


Yeah it should be(too),but you should know better than to quote them without checking the primary source which is Analyst Day .
where did you get those numbers ?
