Charlie says server and desktop were switched.
Now this was what I'm talking about.An actual news article!Quote:

BD is whole new architecture exept that socket didnt change much, you cannot compare it clock for clock with intel products because its designed different way.
Product must compete at its intented price range, cores/frequency doesnt matter anymore at this generation.
Special would be higher performance than INTCs best processors ie 980x/990x. Its quite obvious to anyone who follows this could see that.Quote:

Go read the threads in the AMD section from the people who are more intimately involved with this. Its obvious that BD is not a INTC killer. If it was, AMD stock would be well north of $10 right now. INTC knows perfrectly well what performance BD has.Quote:

and AMD doesn't position BD against SB-E, they position it to the i7-2600k at max.

Should take your own advice...Isn't that what you all are doing already? BD is an unreleased CPU and countless comparisons are made to 2600k and other RELEASED CPUS by you all.Quote:

If this looks like AMD did not actually delay anything, just flipped them around, that is about it.
What youre saying is maybe they pulled server in from farther along in Q3 to closer.
Well ,we dont know that as we never had exact date for server.My guess is desktop is gonna launch in two months with widespread availablity in 3 with the server launch.
It really depends on exactly when server was due to launch. Q3 ends September 30th, 2 months earlier is July 30th.Quote:

BD can launch Q3, both server and desktop and the net result would be no delay.Quote:

The incredible level of pendantic commentary on this is good enough reason for why AMD only mentioned 2011 on their official roadmap btw. It's a joke how highly scrutinised this has been.
I think BD will have to push very hard if its aiming at the 2600K, 6+ cores or not.
Considering there is only really one SB i7 (same chip, locked/unlocked multi) at the moment with the rest being i3/i5/Pentium/Xeon chips its hard to say that they're aiming to beat that.
Intel more then likely has more standard SB (& K's) i7's ready to release once BD makes its way out.
And you can compare different chips and different arch's, that's what synthetic benchmarks are for.

Considering every 2600k is doing well north 4.7ghz on air,intel can easily put out a 2700k,2800k,2900k and 3000kQuote:

They cant, because intels stock cooler doesnt perform well enough, temperatures would go too high with stock cooler and TDP would sky rocket, ofc they could launch tray versions of those cpu's where it would not matter.
really? do you have any proof what so ever in what you just said?Quote:

No retail machines would be (Acer, HP, Dell). The only users that get K series are overclockers and they all use 3rd party cooling on these chips.

Yes because i have tested it my self, depending invidual cpu you cannot get over 4.2Ghz with intel stock cooler.Quote:

Also Intel need to clock cpu's lower than what they could do, they need after all last full warranty leght.
What they can easelly do is ramp up clocks by 200mhz without changing anything so 3.6 or 3.8 ghz is easelly doable for them while having turbo at 4.0 or 4.2Ghz, there is just that TDP, they need up it a bit :)
Many systems use 2600K and stock cooler, many system builders use that combination and majority of 2600K's are sold as boxed, some people dont think about cooler since they aint overclocking but they take 2600K just because of its few bux cheaper than non-K at least in here where im living, K is 5$ cheaper.Quote:
