But then you (AMD guys) should not let people call a module "a core and a half" just in front of you.

Believe me. I like AMD.

I would suggest to have a look at that nice picture of BD module in that video

take that 'core and a half' expression and analyse it with the help of that picture or what we know about the BD module.

yes they are saying that it is core(integer) and a half(shared FPU). But that half(shared FPU) can be split into two FULL(compared to current Phenom design) FPUs(cores). If needed BD module can be one core and really-really-powerful-half(256bit FPU) or that module can be two regular cores like we are used to have in todays design(integer+128bit FPU). That FPU can be split into two units, thus Flex FPU. So you get the best of both worlds.
You guys need to stop looking at BD arch in comparison to current design, as you will never come to the apples to apples comparison
You can say that if FPU is split then and we have two conventional cores per module and nothing has changed compared to current(phenom design), then again it would be not true as AMD spent like half a decade designing and building BD, thus most of the stuff is beefed up and upgraded and quite a few of the arch bottlenecks removed and thought out.
