Yep, that Phenom 2 X4 pretty much future proof for next 2-3 years, but if you want more core then just get Phenom X6 1100TAdded on October 25, 2011, 5:08 pm

The current market will be heading towards multicore and single threaded performance is no longer relevant to the current standards. This is not to say that single threaded performance is not important, it does definitely contribute to a stronger multithreaded performance but what I mean is that having a single core is no longer feasible. I can imagine that SB with that die size at 32nm but instead of 4 cores they make into a single huge core will not perform as well as the current SB would in majority of tests. There is a diminishing return for more cores and there is also a diminishing return for increased core/architecture complexity.
Like I said before, BD is a server CPU where multithreaded applications are custom made to take full advantage of the hardware but it will definitely not be good for the normal consumers. It still falls short of being a good server CPU though as I think the 16C Interlagos will barely beat or similar to the 12C Magny Cours.

Too many thread will actually make the software slow too, to me 20(Intel just need 10 cores for this to work lolz) threads good enough for most multithreaded applications including servers, anything more than that is not necessary unless you're dealing with super Floating Point stuffs which better leave it to FPGA and GPUs.
