You guys seem to forget that this BD cores are neither K10 based, nor a real cores.
This simple math just isnt going to cut it, the cores itself are much smaller than the SB ones, so dont hope that theyre gonna be in the same league.
From what i understood however ,amd will gonna try to boost their simple cores in light workload to achieve some parity.
Comparing BD cores to stars cores isnt really sensible too ;-) .Its a new architecture.
It is supposed to be high clocking one too.So i would expect 5ghz on high end air, at least if its going to win with SB.
Most probably ,depending on the workload, youre gonna see a BIG boost, and in another cases none.Thats probably the thing with superpi.
On the other spectrum you have truecrypt which uses new instructions , so its gonna have HUGE boost.
