I understand the need for AMD to bring something new to the table but they need to focus more on architecture power rather than power by numbers.

This whole thing seems to be aimed at gamers but what game makes use of the cores ? barely any game stresses my 4 core..I read something a while ago, can't remember where think hardOCP, that stated most games run on 2 or 3 cores, only a few use all 4 cores.

Any game or application that makes good use of multi-threading will use a LOT of threads. many enemies are there on the field of battle, or NPCs wandering around? If every one had a different thread, then games could potentially make use of HUNDREDS of cores. The problem is that many games and applications are not coded to really make the best use of multiple cores. First person shooters where it is just arena type stuff with a bunch of human players wouldn't have a use for it, but AI...there's your application.
