People didn't buy FX for cinebench, the bought them because of game performance and overclocking. An MCM would be worse at both.

An MCM would have a harder time competing with intels high end at these types of workloads than an ordinary bulldozer.
Intel's core 2 quads were mcm chips and clocked quite well. Doesn't mean that bulldozers will be similar, but mcm doesn't necessarily mean poor clocks.
