I don't think anyone has mentioned the power draw of Bulldozer in this thread. It's staggering how much power it needs compared to Sandy Bridge.
So, even if it were as quick as Intel's best offerings overall, it is still a power hungry chip with crappy per core performance.
I hate to say it, but this is so far, a disaster. The IPC is terrible and the power draw is terrible. Overall, just totally poor from AMD.
I expected so much more than this.
