A 10-20% boost is still a long way from making bulldozer anywhere near as good as sandy bridge or even lyynfield/bloomfield in per core performance. This is not a problem that the OS scheduler is going to magically fix, AMD needs a new chip, plain and simple.
I think the goal is better than Thuban at this point.
But bulldozer already beats thuban in heavily multithreaded tests (video encoders and such). The goal needs to be improved single threaded performance and improved power efficiency, these are the two areas where bulldozer is seriously lacking compared to the competition.

Now if only I got payed...
^^ Yep, your fault, i check it like every weekend and whenever i'm bored
If you don't count the OEM only Xeon X5698 4.4GHZ AMD wins the 4GHZ race as well as the 1GHZ GPU race. Now I need to take some
Verdetrol.

Ha ha, you don't fool anyone with that talk ExtremeDude2.
You're probably working for them, then claiming you don't with statements like that to look innocent.
But here's proof saying otherwise, here's an MaximumPC cover with your name on it:
