Looks like AMD's bullflopper architechture... err I mean bulldozer is a giant failure. Depending on how you look at things, bullflopper either a year or more too late or a year or two too early. Windows 7 does not properly support how threads are scheduled resulting in a 20% or so performance penalty and proper support under Windows 8 is still off on the horizon. Intel is already gearing up for Ivy Bridge early next year which I imagine will smoke AMD's Fusion platform for HTPC enthusiasts.
I don't see how AMD can keep up... I hate to say it but I think my next system is probably going to be an intel box unless they drop the prices some more on their APU lineup.
