I'm waiting for now. My guess right now is that SB has higher IPC but BD's extra cores might more than make up for it in things like video encoding. The key will be in things like games, which now are generally limited to 4 cores or less. In that case, SB will likely be the better choice but who knows if (or when) games may use more than 4 cores.
Do you do that much video encoding?

yeah. he was talking about the only way he could pass a class is by cheating. The older soccer players save tests and finals so the youngerguys can use them

ouch, if he can't pass without a koofer, that's not good.

At least at VT, old tests were not necessarily an honor violation.
Certain prof's would make it one. "All materials must be returned, else "F"."

Others, sold them under their own name.

Most were between those two extremes.
