8 actual cores with +40% IPC over their latest CPU cores (which are not what the 8350 has), are Skylake territory. Add the ACTUAL extra 4 cores in, and there is no way that a 4-core Skylake can be faster in multithreaded scenarios.
+40% IPC is nowhere near enough to beat skylake.

Well, if it is +60% IPC over fx8350 then yeah.

+40% from excavator is close enough to skylake. With new platform and hopefully competitive prices AMD will be back in the game. Even if it falls 10% short it is enough. Bulldozer and the like were left in dust in certain situation while those processors did shine in others. Gaming must have been the biggest loss for AMD.
Their current lineup that is old as hell already competes mighty fine in heavily threaded tasks
