I'd say process maturity should account for the biggest increase in performance over FX-8150 and a coming FX-8170, since AMD have been open about that they aren't happy with where GlobalFoundries is today.
It should have been somewhere that if GlobalFoundries do well in 32nm, but GF miss the target, I still believe BD architecture is good, and wait new revision(B3/C0) and Piledriver to be released.
