Re: Looks like Bulldozer is only so-so
An early review of an engineering sample said that the 2 integer cores in a bulldozer module were obviously slower than the integer core in a Phenom II CPU. So far, that is in agreement with the current reviews.
In some science tests the BD outperformed the SB, but usually not the i7-2600K.
So, which projects at WCG rely mainly on integer performance and which need better floating point performance?

Knowing this would help crunchers decide what CPU to buy and improve overall contribution.
