Bulldozer has two integer cores per module which is better than hyperthreading.
Indeed, but it's not hyperthreading is it?

Can you explain this integer cores technology a bit more please? How is it better than hyperthreading, once you have explained I'll be more inclined to believe your statement.
Also "i7 is dead" lol. If you mean socket 1366? then nah. Intel themselves have said that the i7 x58 1366 is still the enthusiast way to go. Am I right in thinking that crossfire/sli the pci express lane is limited to x16 for both sockets, whilst the x58 boards support it full speed?
I think it's two mini cores = Module. That module works as one core, to explain it simple.
Hyperthreading will get less prevalent as Intel CPU's become more efficient (Unless I'm mistaken).
