I think arguing whether 4-module BD is 4 or 8 core cpu is quite pointless semantics. Its bit like two colourblind persons would argue over some colour. Amd obiously calls it 8-core cpu because it sounds more powerful. In the end its the performance/price that counts.

There is no argument over whether it is a 4 or 8 core part......AMD calls it an 8 core part, it is what it is.

Whether it performs/acts like an 8 core or 4 core 8 thread part is the matter at hand.......

Why does that matter or should it matter?

I leave you with this. Almost same speeds.
