huh
Maybe true in ULV field but not so in portable or desktop. In ULV the Intel SB's will have more CPU power but lack IGP punch of a Zacate in most case "Even if the SB's are with 12 EU's they will be on a diet"
There's a difference between public and confidential information, quite a huge one at that. Public information is almost like a promise, while confidential information is only an estimate to help partners anticipate the coming of a new product. Confidential information is much more likely to change - granted, not just like that, but you definitely can't pin AMD down on it as this info isn't meant as such a promise.
And, again, it's about IP, not launch! I believe IP stands for "Industrial Production" (or otherwise 'initial production'), which indicates when they start producing. CPUs aren't done in a couple of hours, they need a couple of runs through the fab, then they need packaging (which is probably done at a completely different location), then distribution, the reviewers need some time... Then AMD still needs to approve launch. Expect May at the very earliest - if these slides are still up to date (and also not fake), that is.
Right.. and the Sandybridge that exist now isn't meant for the performance/enthusiast segment which Bulldozer is going to cover. That's my point and not mentioning Llano along with Bobcat shouldn't have thrown you off.
Iommu was the only thing I didn't know the exact details of when I made my statement. After some preliminary research that is something I'm actually excited for and see as an important feature being implemented. Everything else didn't impress me.
Whats more important, SB with 8 cores will be not relase (its latest info what I have)...
Zambezi in April/May is think really possible and good point for AMD. Look here SB 2500k in CInebench-AIRcooled, its dangerous score.
would it delay again
rather in may

dont panic, AMD is last year stroneger and stronger. Really think, Zambezi will leader with Gulftowns in multithreading - in 2011 year
wow Bulldozer... I first heard of Bulldozer when i was a little kid. I always thought DNF would be released before Bulldozer, i was wrong apparently.
BD codename was mentioned,for the first time, in 2007 so you couldn't possibly hear it when you were a kid(or maybe you could,are you a kid now :) ?)
BD on 45nm was scheduled for late 2009 but was canceled. This BD version,done on 32nm and scheduled for Q2 2011,is much improved design based on the first(canceled) version. So a delay is 1.5 years or so,from late 2009 to early 2011. I can't see any DNF theme in BD development,at all.
Zambezi 8 cores have a release date, What about 8 Core SB's? All we hear about is 1155.. Anything?
No 8 cores SB for 1155, it's only for 2 cores and 4 cores
It's only for 1356 with 6 cores and 8 cores for Extreme Edition
six-, octal-core SB - socket 2011 only (autumn 2011)
1366 has no future
Has no future? They're releasing the 990x surely cant be that bad.. No reviews or tests as with the LGA2011..
what price range will Zambezi 8 cores be? around 600$ maybe ?
1356/66 has a future, theres nothing wrong with the socket. Instead LGA 2011 is just a rumor, and its been rumors about LGA2011 will come with ivy bridge in 2012. Theres also been rumors about SB with 4-8 cores will use 1356/66 socket. NOTHINGS written in stone, its all rumors.
I would say where or a little above where 1090T is today. Bulldozer is a very compact chip and the 8 core model will prolly be smaller then todays phenom II X4 and just a bit bigger then SB with 4 cores.
no...SB is only 1155 LGA...At 4Q 2011 or 1Q 2012 we will see new LGA 2011 with IB CPUs...Its a bit change...
AND NOW BACK TO BULLDOZER CHIP :).
