MaddMutt: You have a point (just I don't think they have a native PhII X3 ), and given bad yields, I don't think we will see native less-than-8-cores from this Bulldozer iteration. Remember that it doesn't have to had broken parts to sell it as less-than-8-cores, usually they sell it as that when it doesn't fit in a given TDP class with more cores enabled.

Hmm, shouldn't the module also be official, as AMD itself called it that way in many slides and other places?
Why all need to learn another new term?

How do you set it to more than one thread? Do you mean running more than one instance?
