Your view on AMD's Bulldozer
kureshii:
I don't see any point expressing views about a processor which is still at least 2 weeks from release, and for which no official benchmarks are yet out, nor any thorough hardware preview.
So far much of what we know about it has come from the rumour mill, and things that AMD has officially confirmed (largely through John Fruehe) are hardly worth discussing about at this moment. Those rumours have been discussed to death, and until AMD can provide rigorous, comprehensive numbers and facts from their own mouth, I don't see anything worth discussing yet.
P. S. If you want a good technical discussion drop by #bakabt on irc.rizon.net, instead of starting it here on the “Tech forums”, home to classics such as http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=29861.msg4615292#msg4615292, http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=32011.msg4684089#msg4684089, http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=31972.msg4683666#msg4683666, http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=32011.msg4684853#msg4684853 and http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=32011.msg4684518#msg4684518.

It's better to follow posts from some people in the know (those bound by NDAs) as most threads in those forums are pure speculation argued endlessly by intel shills and amd fanbois.
Chew*, one of the people who overclocked zambezi to 8.4GHz WR said it performs like a quadcore.

But you can argue about something unreleased for dozens of pages easily! Here, no one really cares.

The thing that matters most to me are the dates when software applications come out that require a certain minimum of CPU and graphics CPU throughput. January 2013 is the ratification date for the next video standard HEVC (aka H265). It is supposed to be 2x to 10x more processor intensive than H264 for encoding and who knows what it will require for playback for those people who don't use a graphics card but instead depend on the CPU having enough speed to handle the onboard video calculations without lagging.
