That screenshot -

Quote:

Exclusive AMD Bulldozer Details From Gigabyte
Internal Usage only

:rofl::rofl::rofl::ROTF::ROTF::ROTF::clap:

I imagine they sit at workplaces in Gigabyte, one is running wPrime, other worker is preparing results in SuperPI.. :ROTF:
For "Internal Usage Only"... :rofl:
Probably because at Gigabyte there is very good attitude to workers, they need to communicate each other at the lunch time, they discuss SuperPI numbers...
Yeah, otherwise what the heck they would run SuperPI?!!!

the bottomline - I don't need to even look at the details of picture to figure out that it was done for some high school student or so, just for self-appraisal

You know, they do test their products... and they are interested in their overclocking community, so... :rolleyes:

Well for comparison sake here is a sandy running at 5ghz with 26gb/sec mem band and dosnt come close to that 3.8ghz BD.If those are real then congrates to amd,you actually have something worth switching over for.

that must be the worst sandy ever

my i7 920 at 4.1ghz does much better than that

No, good sir, I am not a fan boy.
Plainly speaking, I am not one for estimates and predicates and promises and what if's and could have been's.

"GOLLY WILBUR, DO YA THINK BULLDOZER CAN BEAT INTEL?"

It is a little hard to get excited over something that "could be."
Now, I realized before having responding to your observation my statement sounding like a fan boy, however this is not the case. I do not subscribe to the official party line. A hypothetical conversation demonstrating the "party line" or "team" mentality might read something like this:

<person named Joe q> Sony is the greatest video game console ever.
<person named Robert y> I am inclined to agree only partially. While I enjoyed games on PS1, titles offered on PS2 did not appeal to me, but I do enjoy PS3 quite a bit.
<person named Joe q> WTF?!?!?!?!?!?! you Xbox fan boy!!!

After 17 years watching AMD and Intel slide back and forth on the performance charts, predictions of high performance processor these days leaves me a little cold.

They run superPI and spread inside gigabyte the screenshots :rofl:
With the giant text across picture: "Gigabyte technology ltd, for inner use only"
The screen shots... :ROTF:

It is sooo stupid....
The motherboard model mentioned there is in cpu-z...

If they 'd issue a document inside, they would not attach a "prove" picture, they just write model numbers, modes and so on in text document.

2500K has no HT - so is it safe to assume that it's performance would be lower/similar to an HT enabled 920D0?

It will be good in vantage...if it can scale up with cold:up:

Its still rare for Sandy bridge that can clock >5.75Ghz 4C/8T Vantage cpu stable:(

Try running that program with only 4 cores since mine dosnt have HT and 8 threads

You specifically made a post saying that we won't see BD for 7 or 8 YEARS.

Please link the proof for your estimate.

Well, I believe the former screenshot belongs to i7-970. They just changed Processor name in WEI and slapped faked CPU-Z over it.

Specifying 7 or 8 years was and remains a completely arbitrary range.
After spending 17 years in tech, my expectations of what is[ and promises issued by AMD, Intel, nVidia, etc. are so cosmically removed from one another, that it would be very difficult indeed to disappoint me.

It might seem funny now, but on any occasion when I am not hyperventilating over the impending release of a lauded high performance product, I am promptly labeled a fan boy.

Your call for evidence is intriguing. It takes a little more than a person purportedly hiding behind an non-disclosure agreement(NDA) or screenshots of an engineering sample(es) to impress me. So far, gentlemen, none of this is exactly blowing my skirt up. Is there nothing even remotely substantial, beyond AMD's word, that Bulldozer will come out this year?

What are you doing, waiting for an announcement from Intel?
We already have launch dates. Not only this, we have pics of CPU's.

We also have spoken word from a few guys that have an ES. If you have samples, chances are launch is within one quarter away.

Have this thread ever gotten anywhere?

@BatteryOperated:
I cant exactly figure out what your purpose with your statements really is.... do you really doubt that we will se BD this year?

since amd really never says anything these days... just deal with it :cool:

goodness some posters here are like some bunch of whiny schoolgirls. it's like they have the right to whine because they still don't have any performance leaks and such and amd should do this or that or if they didn't they will whine more... :rolleyes:

i don't even :shakes:

AMD says something about performance = "They're touting it, it's gonna suck!!!!"

AMD keeps quiet about performance = "They're not saying anything, it must suck!!!!!"

Whatever.

Just wait until it is released then all questions will be answered :)

I am saying it is best to wait until release of product.

I am also curious about Bulldozer. Understand after so many product hypes, so many promises, so many claims predicting gain or loss, speculation on what could be leaves a bad taste on the palette. Now, I do not have the first clue as to Bulldozer's performance. Bulldozer might well be the greatest thing since the creation of fire. Who knows? Whatever the outcome, is not better to refrain from endless speculation?

I feel the speculation is what's keeping so many interested in the upcoming products. With them being silent on it, it causes the minds of those to go into fervent overdrive and swing the pendulum wildly as to its potential performance. It's the mystery that keeps us going.

it depends on the speculation.... i personally rather read/listen the speculation/hype and decide for myself if it contains any semblance of fact as opposed to reading whether or not AMDs information/screenshots/promises impress or disappoint you (seriously lol)...

AMD seriously needs to release SOME information soon, I'm getting the itch with Z68 launching, that was the last thing I was waiting for before contemplating a SB build, I was really hoping to have heard at least SOMETHING by now, so I could decide if I was going to wait, because at this point, if I wait for BD, and it's not everything AMD wants it to be, it will be so close to SB-E I won't be able to help it but wait, and that would be lame. I'm sick of my e6600 and 975xbx garbage >_<
