Can you tell me why SB2600 is getting 4.5x speedup, isn't it just a 4 core?Can you tell me that a non 8 core processor how can do 6.72x speedup in a multithreaded task?
For a stupid question a stupid answer.
By the way Deneb has 3.91x so almost the theoretical maximum, SB2500 has 3.67x speedup. AMD 8 core should have 7.82x and not 6.72x, do you see the difference?
SB2600 and BD are not 8 cores and never will be, one is using SMT(simultaneous multi threading) the other CMT(cluster-based multi threading).
Here is a nice picture, also in patent AMD calls it as a core with 2 integer clusters(module).

Phenom x4 980 is 4 CMP cores
SB2500 is 4 CMP cores
SB2600 is 4CMP cores +HT
BD8150 is 4CMP cores +CMT and AMD has 2 names for it 4 modules what is correct and for BFU they call it as 8 core because they buy what has bigger frequency, more cores more Adidas bands.
And here is a comparison of power, size and performance, that won't ever change and please use the same architecture basis, lets say SB.
4 cores CMP < 4cores CMP +HT < 4cores CMP +CMT < 8cores CMP
