    Just think about it this way: IPC/clocks can be used by much more apps (and more common ones too) than more cores.

    EDIT: Can you name a few single threaded programs where you suspect Bulldozer to be to slow for the average users you are talking about? I don't know if there are any commonly used single threaded programs left where performance in modern CPUs actually makes a difference anymore. Theoretical differences in Microsoft Office isn't really a deal breaker.
    I sense you are trying (maybe uncounsciously) to rewrite what I said just to fit your optics better. "Games" turned into "flash games", "poorly threaded" turned into "single threaded" etc. Gaming performance will be a scenario that is pretty important for a CPU and wich would not benefit at all from more than 4 cores but scales ok with better thread performance.
