Disappointing AMD Kaveri?
First (un)official pictures initial benchmark results for Kaveri.

Note the single core performance, which is the same as for a 3.80 Ghz Trinity.

Should I/we believe the first pictures and results or just wait...?!?
Re: Disappointing AMD Kaveri?
I personally would like to see more than just one screenshot of a single benchmark (that AMD traditionally have done bad in anyway and is largely irrelevant in a world becoming quickly dominated by multithreaded software) before I assume anything.

Edit!!
CB is FPU heavy BTW,and AFAIK most of the improvements of the SR core are not in the FPU.
Re: Disappointing AMD Kaveri?
ST score is on par with PD clock for clock ;). Total score is ~8% better on Kaveri clock for clock (thanks to doubled decoders mostly).

I wasn't impressed there weren't any FX-series processors on the roadmap at all this year - this was already rumoured / hinted at last year but still disappointing, I would have loved a return back to AMD on my CPU / Mobo - been without them since Core 2 Duo now.
Looking like it is going to be an 8-core Haswell-E upgrade in Q3 this year for me....expensive but will most likely be very powerful.

I wish i had your money then! I can only dream of spending that much on a processor. That's pretty much more than my entire comp budget for 3 years in one CPU.
