Based on these slides it is a good step in the right direction! Not a leap forward but a solid step up.

With that performance I won't be disappointed. Plenty of knobs to turn and keep me entertained with new BD CPU coming to my system ;].

Can't wait really because 3 days ago I've sold my 1090T and temporary putted X2 555 in it's place. I was shocked how much slower this CPU is in games even @4GHz compared to 1090T. In Crysis2 FPS cut in HALF! Civilization 5 visibly slower, even EVE Online is jerky now! Game engines are definitely going in the right direction with MT support
