AMD has to compete on price, correct. Unfortunately there are no numbers for this new processor but it is the same design as the FX-8350 but clock rate can go to 5.0ghz vs 4.2 ghz. Given this comparison of the older FX-8350 and the Haswell, I projected that these 2 chips would be on par if the clock speed could be pushed higher. That was based on this data:

There are 2 cores per module and 4 modules per chip on these AMD processors. The cores on a module share some components (Like a single AVX unit). It was recently discovered that XG's performance could be significantly increased by turning off AVX and allowing the cores to use the SSE units (There are 2 SSE units per module, so each core can utilize its own).

Standardized benchmarks (Passmark etc) may not always give us a best estimate of performance between one design (Haswell) and AMD's new FX chips for a particular application like XG. Will be interesting to see how these processors do in the context of XG on their best settings.

Out of curiosity does anyone have an i7-4770? Would be curious to know how many Pos/Second it gets vs Frank Berger's numbers in this thread:
