It sacrificed single threaded performance for multi-threaded , in a world where most software was largely single or dual threaded, many poor design decisions were made. got way too far along before they realized their mistake.

amd literally would have been better off taking their updated k10 core used in llano and making an 8 core version of that,

graph related, it might not look like much , but when you consider the llano apu has no l3 cache and is matching the older phenoms that have 6mb, , it becomes immediately obvious just how bad bulldozer actually is.
