This is definitely not like bulldozer as this has better clock for clock performance than SB.
Plus it is not surprising that the temperatures could be higher or equal to SB because this is the first time a chip is using a tri-gate transistor so no one could predict how they would handle heat dissipation....
Been a few reviews/previews released already and they all pretty much say the same thing, IB is a worse overclocker than SB. However I think IPC performance is up 7% or something like that.
So its nothing like BD, since IB is actually an improvement on the whole. Ultimately, overclocking headroom is always nice and I'm glad I didn't wait for IB, but its far from a BD release. Sure, it nothing like what we were expecting to see, so in that sense its a little disappointing. But I wouldn't put it in BD's league.
