Are you sure it'll have a low price? Because it sounds like it'll be the biggest APU on the block.
Also loads of games use four cores, almost every new game will use four threads even if frame rates are 'happy' on two cores any hard drive access will cause a hitch. I really doubt many of them will really benefit from having four true FPU/SSE units to abuse, I guess it really depends on the game.
When software starts really abusing an APU in a way a CPU and desecrate card can't match, I'll jump on board, until then I'll just watch and see what developers do with the guaranteed level of GPU power these APU's will provide.
@prznar1: The real difference is that Intel took a few steps introducing new CPU's until Bloomfield, the march is unceasing and Intel are happy to ditch an entire platform to enable new features. I hope Bulldozer can live up to our hopes on this, because the bar is set pretty high.
