freeloader BD won't crush SB but will be an excellent competitor that's what we all want. To crush the competition BD would need to have at least a core better by 10% than SB. Even if it had the same core to core performance It would be better only in 5-8 threads because SB has HT. You need to be reminded that SB is better by 30-35% than Deneb core to core and you want BD to have a better core by 40-50% than Deneb thats pretty much unreal.
Because you won't get that much improvement BD is a disappointment for you, then what would you buy, SB? BD should be on par with SB or you can get SB-E but it would be pointless if you don't use more than 4 threaded applications because SB and SB-E will perform almost the same in single thread and only the higher core count will make the real difference.
