For Pi I can't see a real advantage ...
Primes I think will benefit greatly as well as 3DVantage.
Possibly O6 ...... time will tell how retail chips will clock but just from a cool stand point 12 threads will be exciting to see .....
From a few refrigeration builders now I have heard that loads won't be as much even with the extra cores due to the die shrink .... that may and hopfully will help with acheiving great clocks with the same cooling solution.... I truly beleive it will help the air and water guys out tremendously ...... sub zero not convinced it will make a diff other than not having to upgrade .....
Rom makes a great point that beating the 920's will be a daunting task for this new chip. I think we will look back on this sub 200 dollar chip as one of the great CPU's to ever be released in this price range or any for that matter ...... soon we will have a definative answer ........ with retail chips we can touch taste and feel and finally see for ourselves what the capabilities and limits are of the first 6 core retail chip .... It is a great time to be an overclocker ......
Let not forget nV300 and what that will bring to the table as well.
