More interesting is that he made a list about bugs that every stepping have, looks like final retail version is B3 or C0.

Pictures are automatically removed by the owner, he doesn't want to be caught by AMD.

clicking the picture links from the original source worked for me, but its all boring images of the cpu sitting next to random things.

Nothing really to see there. :( I hope the stepping information is correct though.

the TS said he is hiding some messages when he use the figurine placed next to the CPU.

it seems to be giving them wood. LOL

seems they got pulled over. that sucks.

does anyone know when the NDA is up????? cant believe even the date is under the NDA.

the date might be too variable. sofar we just know its being released 60-90 days after the beginning of july, so if they want the nda to be over 1 week before it launches, then the date could be across 3 weeks, and the moment they say what the day is, then its too late for them to take it back. so my bet is that there is no date on the NDA, it just says "when we say so"

blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :shakes:

60 to 90 days was from the beginning of June, not July. :)

benchmarks shouldnt be too long to appear i guess

The lack of any leaks is worrying :shakes: I'd be disappointed if it got delayed again though

More than sure it would be lauched at least in september.
If the launch would be in August than it should be start to shipping by now, and we would have some pics of box shipping.
But i think that the roumor that it's delayed to october it's true.
This would make 4 months, 120 days, far from 60-90 days.
The worst it that at least we should have a preview like SB had on anandtch....
There is not any official date of launch, no preview, bad leaks which make you think at worst case scenario, etc
All these make AMD to loose potential consumers to SB.
And the rumour that SB-E is launched after all this year is another threat. It would be something very dangerous but posible that SB-E to be launch in the same time or even before Buldozer.
The situation become more and more annoying and disturbating.
AMD has no more excuses.

Llano was available from one of my etailers for pre order a week before it was shipping. If launch is in August, trust me, they will ship in August.

And let say a month before launch, we don't know at least the date of lauch?
And this after a delay, which at least in my opinion should obligate AMD to give more info?
No, it doesn't sound right.

I fail to see how AMD is obligated to give us any information at all....

If they want to have a good reputation, if they want to mantain interest in Bulldozer...
Just marketing, but AMD is doing now bad marketing and point.

Than i fail to see any reason to wait for Bulldozer.
SB is now 7 months in market , and Bulldozer seems to be forever waiting.

probably shifting to Sandy Bridge, AMD is beeing very lazy....

Xbitlabs news about incoming FX CPUs
http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/dis...2_Sources.html

so one thing for sure is that there's no More FX-8130p instead we will get FX-8150p. And looking at the same chart if it was tru at all a Turbo of 4.2GHz means the chip overclocks beyond 4.4GHz.

Now let this be true and we see it compete clock to clock with SB!

don't you think your taking this anxious waiting a bit too far???


i mean really???


just because amd doesnt give benchmark far ahead before a release smells like trouble???


and since no benchmarks are available sounds like trouble also???



there are so many ways to spin both of those assumption that ill leave it at that ...



amd is amd and intel is intel ..

I am not too hopeful anymore, with all the delays and lack of information. So I'll go SB soon - I can always change to AMD if BD is worth it.
