we already know IPC will be higher than phenom, so if BD can reach 5ghz with overclocking, then it will be a significant increase over phenom (like 40% stronger per thread even though clocks are only 25% higher (4ghz vs 5ghz))

most of us think that it will take about 5.5ghz stable on air/water for it to be thread vs thread competitive with a 5ghz SB
