i think your mixing up statements and there were quite a few

A: using 1 thread per CU helps gaming performance, TRUE
B: using 2 threads per CU and overclocking farther can in many cases give more perf if your not on a super strong WC system, also TRUE

heres a link with details for 'A'

4/6 games got ~5% faster when using 1 thread per CU (but at the same clocks), the other 2 games were identical, aka no penalty.

the windows 8 bonus i hope is not just about making the turbo work better by ensuring threads stick to modules so the others can turn off and reduce TDP, since thats something we should have working now with very simple fixes rather than needed to purchase a brand new OS.
