What I'm trying to say is that OBR has said that core per core BD has same performance as Phenom II (if I understood that correctly), you compared a 4 module BD (8 cores) with a 6 core Phenom II and saying it has 33% more cores (If i read it correctly) but if you would compare a 6 core BD to a 6 core Phenom II (and according to OBR) they would have the same performance, since core per core performance is the same.

(sorry if I read anything incorrectly)

I think single thread performance needs to get better ( a lot better than Phenom II) for BD to compete on the market.
