So the same clocked Bulldozer (2.8 GHz) cannot match an i7 with the same number of integer threads in Cinebench (5.06 to 4.60), i.e. 8 Bulldozer integer cores can't beat 4 i7 integer cores with hyperthreading. After 6 years of bold promises of making HT/SMT look second rate color me extremely unimpressed and underwhelmed. 15% worse ipc than K10 too ! What a mediocre processor just like the specs suggested and not even clocking like the speedster it is meant to be !
