Sorry, your math is not right.


And for the other guys talking about 256-bit AVX, here is an extenisve list of all of the client apps that I am aware of that will utilize 256-bit AVX (please update if you know of some):

Oh, really? You say so...
Probably it's more like 0.75*8 or so.
You just keep saying lies, here, i wonder what you will say on 12 octomber.
The numbers in the post written by Olivon are correct, let say 5% more or less.
The sad thing is that because BD is more or less a fail Piledriver will be to.
And so we are finished with AMD until 2013 when 3 generation BD arrives.

The even more stupid thing is that Thuban 8 core design, more L3 cache, faster IMC, speed like BD, would have done it better i think , in same die size, same overclocking capabilities( i mean all Thubans can do 4.2-4.3Ghz 24/7 on 45nm, on 32nm would have do 4.5-4.7ghz 24.7), and may be even with better yelds than BD. Llano is an exception because it's APU.
