    Aren't there already computers with 8 cores if not more?

    ^ 8 physical cores is something else... intel uses what they call hyper threading to achieve "8" cores...

    Those are generally for servers if I remember correctly. This is a first for consumer desktops.

    *sigh* So disappointed with AMD, those aren't even real cores, and somehow the IPC of these new processors are even worse than their old ones.

    What do you mean? Unlike intel these are actual physical cores. Are these virtualized too?

    To my understanding, Bulldozer contains 4 modules, which consists of 2 integer cores and a shared floating point unit unlike in a traditional "core". You could consider them actual cores if you want. However, it seems that on a per core basis, Bulldozer cores performs worse than Phenom II cores.
