    Agreed, it's the best of both worlds when it comes to multithreading and IPC.

    If you're a guy who doesn't need more than 4 cores, the cores get the FPU and cache to themselves and thus more single threaded performance.*

    If you're a guy who likes threaded applications, you get to leverage the threaded power of the architecture for more threaded performance.

    *I'm curious to know if the Bulldozer design tries to prioritize single threaded apps to their own modules, does anyone know if this is the case?

    My first thoughts on it is that it's fast, it's smoothe and it's fun.
