We are talking about client workloads here. I won't be surprised to see BD matching SB 8C in such situations.If it did that in server FP intensive workloads that rely on AVX I would be surprised though.
On paper,one BD integer core is down just one ALU when compared to SB(Load/store capability is roughly the same).But it has a SIMD integer port(x2) in its Flex FP so it's a wash.Clocks on the other hand are a big unknown but there are rumors that 8C 95W parts are 3.5+Ghz. If this is true then 4Ghz 8C 125W parts are not out of the question.And this is stock,Turbo is on top
