Because more often than not it will get compared to an equivalent intel part with 4 cores........which happens to have 8 threads.

Just like HWbot where wprime rankings are based on the amount of cores not threads due to it being a "feature".

Amd needs to term this as a "feature" or they are still in the same boat they have always been...........competing with 8 threads less in an 8 core benchmark........when socket 2011 hits.
4 threads less. Socket 2011 will be limited to hexcores for the time being.
Also AMD will have 5 module desktop variants in 2012, should arrived within 6months of s2011 intels.
