Amd Officially Benches Bulldozer

[Apokalipse]

I hate these "cherry picked" benchmarks...why they don't have the balls to show some serious wprime or pifast or whatever really matters for benchers? also they compare a highly multi-threaded benchmark 8 vs. 4 cores....how stupid is that?

I think it's logical to compare one BD module (two cores) to one core + HT.
I think AMD have simply come up with a solution superior to hyperthreading.

These design sacrifices should mean that an 8 core Bulldozer is more like a 6.8-7 core phenom II when under heavy load

You're expecting it to have lower IPC than K10.5?
I don't think so....
