A module is not analogous to a core with hyperthreading.

A module is exactly analogous to a core with hyperthreading; if they price it the chips in the same price range.

If they don't want a module to compete with a hyperthreaded core, then they will price their chips accordingly. Otherwise w0mbat was completely correct.

But then you were also correct in that performance and pricing is more paramount anyway. When people point to an Intel part that is 4x the price and 15% faster they are not looking at a real world solution.

I guess until we see actual performance AND prices we won't really know much. (I'd love to see the 2M/4T BD compete just fine against a 4C/8T Intel chip... but I would expect more to see the 2M/4T chip competing more with the Intel 4C/4T chip. I guess we'll all probably know in about a month.)
