And SSD beats anything else anyone can possibly do for optimization. Seriously. Windows will boot in 6 seconds with a good SSD.
" AMD's marketing service calls this design a "Module". A 16-threads processor design would feature eight of these "modules",[7] but the operating system will recognize each "module" as two logical cores.
The "module", described as two logical cores, can be contrasted with a single Intel core with HyperThreading. The only difference between the two approaches is that Bulldozer provides dedicated schedulers and integer units for each thread, whereas in Intel's core all threads must compete for available execution resources."
