Perhaps this is one of the reasons for high default voltage on the 125W 8300s, http://techreport.com/news/24111/rumor-95w-amd-fx-8300-due-later-this-week
Hoarding all the lower leakage units for a 95W SKU.
Sidenote: CMT seems to be the one area of the BD design that hit expected targets. Before Bulldozer launched I was expecting 6.4 x roughly Nehalem cores, I had no reason to expect the individual cores to have actually taken a step backwards in performance. At this point I would guess Steamroller might come close to this initial expectation or slightly exceed it, assuming a non-APU 4-5 module version is eventually released. Although at this point I think AMD will be better served focusing on getting decent results out of their APUs in terms of HSA and perf/power. That is if focusing more effort would give better results which is no sure thing with AMD unfortunately.
