Maybe it's just the date for NDA lift?They may present Zambezi at say Dev Conference or even at Computex.

Unlike that fruit company...
THX for this link! OMG looks like the spec even the naming scheme(range) aren't finally decided yet. The 8200 6200 4200 probably means they have higher frequency than 8100 6100 4100, right?Quote:

if is true ... is good performance
I think: 3.5 stock/ 3.8GHz TC1/ 4.2GHz TC2
Fishy. Font looks too antialiased (hinted) because of Photoshop's default settings.
Font is smaller, different than other entries. Really clumsily done.
My grandmother can come up with a more realistic photoshop.Quote:

Sure, maybe a paper launch now in June, but it will take a bit longer before you can buy the final silicone in a store...
But we will see, every day something new...
I still think middle August, so i will only get positive suprised if they manage to get it out sooner.

AMD Bulldozer Retail Availability Postponed to Q3 2011
http://news.softpedia.com/news/AMD-s...t-202051.shtmlQuote:
Keenly awaited by many computer enthusiasts, AMD's first desktop Bulldozer processors won't reach retail until the third quarter of 2011, even though the Sunnyvale-based company plans to officially unveil them in early June.
Previous reports have suggested that the Bulldozer announcement that is scheduled to take place on June 11 will be quickly followed by retail availability (June 20-24), but the recent report comes to dismiss these claims.
According to some Taiwanese motherboard makers that have talked to the Sweclockers publication, AMD is not yet ready to launch the FX-series processors into retail and the soon-to-be-released 900-series AM3+ boards will most probably be sold without any Bulldozer processors in sight.
The motherboard makers also stated that, although their solutions are ready for launch, engineers still don't have access to production Bulldozer processors and have to rely on scaled-down and locked engineering samples and on older Phenom II CPUs to test their boards.
As a result, some motherboard makers are even considering postponing the launch of their 900-series products until this situation clarifies, as selling such boards without any FX-series chips could prove to be rather difficult.
I call BS on this statementQuote:

AMD delay again
Rumors, upon rumors, upon rumors..... :shakes:
Seems like one website says something, and be it, Fudzilla, SweClockers or even our own XS forums, 10 other websites pick it up and run with it!
I've been a computer geek for almost 30 years and I don't remember ever seening anything like this before...
AMD is either very sly or very stupid I really can't decide which.
You would honestly think they would want to clarify things a little and stop some of this crazy speculation.
Then again I'm not a marketing guy, and maybe my own anticipation is coming into play here too.
If the FX series chips can give Intel's a run for their money it may be a good move.
If they only come a little closer I can only think this is going to hurt them....
I agree... all the people quoting this one translation from one unconfirmed source and taking it serious is kind of ridiculous. If we get a benchmark leak that looks questionable then everybody screams "fake" and ignores it. But this time we get a negative comment from an unknown source and many people accept it as true.
Personally when I read the SWECLOCKERS translation, I immediately thought that it sounded like a frustrated person at a motherboard maker angry because they can't bench BD before everybody else. (Actually it sounded like a child having a temper tantrum. But that is probably just the translation.)
In other words AMD has decided not to send out release chips until closer to launch because they know there WILL be leaks. But this is not really a big deal if the engineering samples are fully functional in regards to the socket specification.
Sure it is always better to have a chip to test, but MOTHERBOARD makers do not design motherboards based on a particular chip. They do it based on the SOCKET specification. But if they have correctly supported the specification and the board correctly supports the proper power levels then there should not be an issue and their engineering samples should have been sufficient for testing. Otherwise motherboard makers would never officially support any chips that are released after the motherboard is released.
(Although sometimes a lemon board is released like the MA790FX-DS5. But every motherboard maker has a few dogs in their past.)
DISCLAIMER: My statement above is not true if the "crippled" engineering sample had portions of the socket specification that did not work at all so it could not be tested. If it was only crippled to run slow but all socket features were functional then that is all that is needed for compliance/compatibility testing.
You had to bring that board up didn't you. :rolleyes:Quote:

What really sucks is the 990FXA-UD7 is a sweet looking board, just not sure I trust their new release boards anymore.
I hope your right about the disgruntled mobo designers, but even I am beginning to have my doubts about a Q2 release.
Even if they don't want to release performance numbers yet, I still wish AMD would give us a firm timeframe.
Still got a sour taste over the DS5?Quote:

I'm eyeballing the ECS board.

It's some failed logic behind that statement about delays. If the motherboard makers really needed production samples and they have got none, they wouldn't be able to release their motherboards in early june. But since we all know there is finished motherboards ready to be shipped they obviously didn't need working production samples. And since they didn't need them AMD have no reason to hand samples out to possible leaks.
So, that motherboard makers don't have the chips don't mean anything. I don't say BD can't be delayed. But I do say that it don't need to be delayed for motherboard makers to have none.
