In my opinion, a ing bad choice of wanting to look strong on multithreaded server workloads and not particularly caring about single threaded performance, much less on desktop segment.

BD is a good server chip which will scale wonderfuly in multithreaded work but if it has 15% less ipc than thuban it will simply be garbage on desktop save for a few ocasions.
