Yes and now I know why : Interlagos is delayed :shakes: :
http://www.foxbusiness.com/technolog...s-margin-view/
What are you talking about?? Interlagos launch has been postponed from Q3 to Q4 and this has been known for a while now. There are no *new* delays or anything like that. And now we know why it was delayed to Q4 and why Zambezi was pushed back too. It's because of supply issues on GloFo's side and not because of design flaw in Bulldozer.
informal, don't get upset ;) Apparently some people here don't read the news too often.
Some people though a week ago that Interlagos was gonna be released end of September and some people only now find out that BD was delayed ;)
jeanjean15: http://blogs.amd.com/work/2011/09/07...-of-a-new-era/ it's dated September 7, so you are nearly one month late with this 'I know why' ;)
This article is about Llano, they was expect a revenue increase of 10% due to them, but basically they have got some problem for supply enough Llano due to bad GF yield, so the revenue increase is 6% instead of 10.....
Where are yoou seeing Interlagos in this article ?
its in there. although not a real part of recent news.Quote:
The company blamed the disappointing preliminary results to a manufacturing problem at its German facility, which resulted in a weaker-than-anticipated supply of its Llano chips and other products. AMD also said that shipments of its next-generation server processor “Interlagos” were delayed, impacting gross margin.
Here my system : a supermicro motherboard H8QGL-6F with 2 watercooled opterons 6128 HE but i am waiting impatiently interlagos to buy four of them in order to break record with folding@home :hehe::

Sympa le système Jeanjean . je peux comprendre l' impatience du coup .
pile driver is more likely now!
This tight NDA and delays are killing me... I WANT performance & OC numbers naow!
Attachment 120692
Hear hear! want to know if this will be my next CPU.
Spoke to one of the dealers today and made him call AMD. They said second week to mid october10000% he will get stock
I KNOW THE SOLUTION.
All amd has to do is provide a free 6 pack of guiness to all customers legally of drinking age. I know I certainly would make the switch if they did that :p
Make that a bottle of tequila and i might agree, i dont like beer. :D
Yea I'm in the same boat, just holding off to see if BD is a worthy upgrade or not. I used to upgrade like once in a year or so, now it's been like 2 years since the last time. :P If BD doesn't overclock or perform good enough I'll most likely hold off for Ivy though, Sandy-E doesn't look that interesting IMO.
Good sir,
All real men should drink guinness. I attribute all my success as an engineer to the facts that I squat ass to grass and drink guinness haha.
But seriously AMD should just consider doing something along these lines as an apology to the customers for all the delays. I fear that at this rate Ivy Bridge will actually appear in mass volume before BD
AMD's execution and launch of BD and Interlagos is beyond a joke, and the whole debacle has cost them significant reputation in the eyes of the IT world. Intel is arrogant, often going out of their way to screw the industry and users. But at least they have the ability to execute a product and can produce a reliable product that performs well. If AMD thinks that their current strategy is a viable long term approach, I feel very sorry for them and those who hold their stock.
As far as I'm concerned, they can continue to delay BD and Interlagos into next year...they're both so late as it is, they're largely irrelevant. Sandy Bridge-EP will more than compete with BD and Intel has the flexibility to set their prices to ensure that it's competitive in that arena as well. Romley-EP 4S will nullify any reason to buy Interlagos, since the gap between Interlagos' very late launch and Romley-EP 4S launch is now very small. AMD's manufacturing issues pretty much ensures a very limited supply of both BD and Interlagos, making the inevitable paper launch pointless.
AMD can now wallow in the pit of crap they've created for themselves by being over two years late with BD and repeatedly delaying Interlagos. They have no credibility in my eyes and are well on the way to join other CPU makers that have fallen by the wayside. Their incredibly tight lipped attitude regarding BD and Interlagos is highly annoying and gives users no reason to continue to endlessly wait. We do appreciate a bone once in a while, and people like JF-AMD seem to revel in the fact that they know something we don't. It makes them feel important. This is in spite of the fact that this attitude alienates and infuriates those people who have supported them.
I hope AMD enjoys the mediocrity they have worked so hard to earn. Unfortunately, this'll mean than Intel will become even more arrogant without any viable competition, and we'll all end up paying the price.:(
Lets try to be at least somewhat friendly ok?
I think what you heard on lutjens part was mostly frustration and not slamming AMD.
Now I've met JF-AMD and yes he does know more than we do and a LOT more but stick yourself in his shoes for a minute.
He's the head of Marketing( server side) and wants to promote his new product BUT there are things he just can't say yet no matter
how much he'd like to.
That's a tough situatiuon to be in so lets cut him a bit of slack.
Dave, you are quite correct about my frustration. All I really wanted to see from AMD is some honesty about the situation and communication of the delays and the reasons for them. A performance preview (which could have been easily combined with the recent overclocking exposition) would've been greatly appreciated as well. Intel has recently permitted a performance preview of Sandy Bridge EP, making AMD's silence even more frustrating and this silence is indeed the most annoying thing. They seem to expect people to continue to wait patiently and without complaint though delay after delay. Although, AMD finally did the recent BD overclocking exposition (sans benchmarks), which was long overdue, they continue to remain silent about almost anything regarding Interlagos' performance or eventual availability. I do understand JF-AMD is in an unenviable position between both worlds, but the total lack of anything official on Interlagos makes me wonder how much effort he has put forward toward getting permission to release something or indeed anything. This, along with the quick denial of any and all unofficial information leaks (which may or may not be completely accurate) suggests an enjoyment of being privy to the knowledge he has about Interlagos. Of course, this is simply my interpretation of the situation, which may indeed be wrong.
I hear you and understand your viewpoint.
I used to be just like you but age and time has taught me that things will come in their own time and worrying about what happens when only frustrates US.
Just like every previous platform benchmarks will show up and then people will know exactly what to spend their money on.
All thats required of us is the patience to wait.
Now some reverse logic for you:
I've had a prerelease system here at the house "for some time" now.
It's not assembled and the reason why?
I can't be tempted to leak anything until I see with my own eyes and if I don't build it I can't be tempted to leak anything!
Now how's that for logic for you?:rofl:
Duuuuuuude........
OK, so you don't wanna crap on family. They sent it to you for a reason, not just to be nice. You should test and give them feedback. Out of sheer respect, you owe it to them to set it up and bench it. And then you should come back here and be all smug and say "I know and you don't, nyaah".
hey hey hey i have a piddly line, you have a nice upload... i have a one megaBIT upload. it takes forever to upload crap.
but my isp does give me a 20 mb download line even though we only pay for 12
maybe that is to make up for the :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty ass upload speeds.
I've actually seen up to 30 mb on the download side via a steam update.
I hope bulldozers kills sandy bridge... But considering the silence, I expect the opposite.
If AMD produces something that is similarly fast as sandy bridge or even slightly slower upon release. This will be a crazy marketing fail. AMD doesn't need to be faster than sandy bridge to have a successful product. Just something competitive, with enough marketing, it will have a chip that can atleast stop some people from buying sandy bridge systems until their chips are released.
Considering that SB already offers pretty good price to performance ratio, I imagine a lot of people are comfortable buying SB without knowing Bulldozers performance. AMD needs to give some sort of performance indication(unless the processor performs badly), if they want to stop the momentum of SB.
I am really disappointed with Intel this generation for ignoring the enthusiast and releasing sandy bridge E so late to extend the life of westmere. With no indication of performance from AMD, it is really hard to get excited about their products, especially considering the performance from their product from the last 5 years or so.
AMD needs to slow down the sales of SB and all it would take is some performance info on Bulldozer.
Being silent on the Processor front is not as effective as being silent on the GPU front. ATI/AMD graphic reputation is much stronger and allows for it to be not as aggressive in it release schedule. Considering how little posts are in this thread(compared to other CPU or GPU threads), people are just not that excited about bulldozer.
Yea my excitement of BD has heavily faded at this point, with some performance numbers or something it had been a lot different, at this point it feels like 'ditto'.
So,10 days and dropping?
Can't wait for MM review. I know it will be an honest review. If AMD can get close to intel at half the price, my next build will be my first AMD system? So DAVE, your review should be posted the day the NDA is lifted!
I think his avatar was inspired by what he experienced ... when he run the tests...
;)
AwardFabrik "inofficially" benches Bulldozer - stummerwinter on the keyboard, left behind him no_name :D

It was a fun evening, but can't tell more at this time :(
I so love one word answers :p:
look at stummerwinters evil face lol. he likes bd?
