JF-AMD stated they would deliver 8 cores on Bulldozer in less die space than 6 cores in Thuban/Istanbul. No word on power consumption or transistor count, though.
Well common sense told me that AMD wouldn't release another 140w chip, otherwise we'd have 3.6 Ghz Thubans with 4 Ghz Turbo and 3.7 Ghz Deneb chips on the market already...
