See above.

Not quite. 1 module with 2 cores would be ~180%. 2 threads running on 2 different modules would be ~190-195%.

No, those are not benchmarks, benchmarks come out at launch.

yes
Your biggest problem will be the fud slung from the 'opposite' side. There are some so called experts on this forum, who struggle with the core/module type thing. I fully expect that to be exploited by the other camp.

It's a nice elegant solution to having extra cores with less die space, however intel on a smaller node will be able to compete core for core at some point, without the performance tradeoff.

The only question is can you keep the 'core' lead.
