Zilch ;-).
Bulldozer if I remember correctly uses HT3.1 which basically is a just a simple clock increase from 2.6 to 3.2GHz, meaning 5200MT/s versus 6400MT/s.

AM3 processors work with HT1.0 chipsets... so until the function of that extra pin gets revealed (if there is such) is just the same cattle manure that Intel did by going from LGA1156 > LGA1155.

I know companies need their profit, but in my eye that pins solely purpose just to make people buy a new motherboard with a new chipset if they want the shiny new architecture.
