Quite possible, could be that AMD took a gamble with multi threading taking off, but it hasn't, (hence the firing of a CEO of theirs recently?) not even in our flight sim gaming world, right now 4 cores are more than enough and it will take years for software developers (especially Flight Sim) to catch up.
I still feel sort of sick inside for all those that put their faith in AMD's outrageous claims for Bulldozer, including the guy in this thread who had "
waiting for Bulldozer 8150 in his sig" AMD has really let not just them down but all of us ... they were the only competition and now they have played their ace, we now know they have been bluffing for a long time.
