bulldozer has had serious problems. I've lowered my expectations.
With DDR4 around the corner in 2012/2013, I wonder if AMD would start taking precautions with this with AM3/FX chipsets although that is a long time to go without releasing a new chipset (however X58 lasted forever almost)

One question everyone should be asking.
WHERE IN THE :banana::banana::banana::banana: ARE THE MODS AND ADMINS.
this thread is a trainwreck
Well you banned movieman, you should blame yourself.
:p:
Why the heck are all these people basing BD on a CRIPPLED ES sample used specifically for testing. These were crippled for a reason, to prevent leak to the general public and I'll say it's working as damned intended since it's pretty obvious that NDA for all these reviewers is like pinky swearing to 5 year old.
But serious can the trolls leave or grow up.
added V.S. 2500K at 4G video
you know I am a 100% intel fanboy, but i would never base anything on early ES samples, especially these. PPL have too high expectations for BD, its going to be good guys no doubt, but don't think its going to be a SB rapist. It shoudl be about equal if not a bit below to SB in performance, that is what i would guess, but they'll prob OC to 7ghz under LN2.
heh. true, and not true. how much difference can be there comparing es to retail product? few 0.x% in overall performance?

BD 5.66
2500k 5.79
cinebench. both @ 4GHz.
this is getting lol.
We will! and then only amd fanboys will buy amd chips .......
In reality , I wish to buy either intel or amd , but amd is just making that
impossible with bad price>preformance ....
I just upgraded my e8500 to 2600k , but never even had any amd
alternatives .... amd really needs to keep competitive in the chip game
since we would all hate an intel monopoly ....
kudos to amd on their vga cards !! excellent ..
btw i dont think the BD was even at 4 Ghz.
im thinking the multi may be limited to 14 actually. look at the cinebench result. it says @ 3.5 Ghz. which would need an HTT speed of 286 for 4 GHZ
Plus i think they disabled the write function of the cache if not the complete cache.(l2 and l3).
I would also like to know what they have the NB multi at. my guess is they have it locked under 10. This would severely limit the multi threaded performance of an 8 core chip
its 32-bit OS....
yes i know. i can see :P
with intel there is no difference, with AMD i am sure there will be a lot.
