that is reasonably largely expected to have significantly better FP performance than comparable Intel products, while Integer performance might be about on par (less clear).

I think that may be overstating things a little bit. Significantly better *fp_rate* than *current* Intel QC parts, perhaps. And if the 2.5GHz is correct for top speed, I would guess integer performance will lag even current Intel QC parts.

Also, if AMD launches in Q3, and not Q2, Barcelona will probably face Intel 45nm enhancements, running at higher clocks, with some extra sprinkles of features at launch, or shortly thereafter.
