Yeah you've lasted that long with that E6600 another few weeks is nothing, lol.

It wasn't stable or anything, but just being able to even get to the Windows loading screen on a 2006 CPU at that frequency is pretty impressive. It could even run low-intensity software like CPUID off of Ultimate Boot CD and such. Fond memories.
if you die in 3 weeks, i will come to your funeral. ok well prolly not, but the point is you've been on said POS system for how long now? you can last 3 more weeks. its not like your a crack addict that has to have his fix for new hardware every 2 monthsQuote:

AMD does not need to release any info. Those who make AMD money by buying 1000s of chips everytime, they already know what bd can do. Those other 5 people in all forums saying they need benchmarks early does not bother AMD much. There is no benefits of releasing benches early.
Won't be long now folks,be patient. 3 weeks or so and the wait is over.
You forgot some later suckage comments that might be posted:Quote:

When we get a review from a "trusted" reviewer (if it doesn't show BD sucking): "So it seems BD looks pretty good at this time. I wonder how bad it will suck after IB is released."
And Hypothetically if everything and everyone in the world shows it performing slightly better then the similarly priced Intel chip: "It's AMD so it sucks that it costs that much."
Those people that are waiting for it need to take their mind off it or those 3 weeks will feel like a year lol.
another way to think about it is that intel 2500k is really, really, really good, like best cpu overall ever.Quote:

Perhaps if BD is, as you say, "REALLY good too" then people will stop coming into Bulldozer threads to post unsolicited opinions of Intel chips.Quote:

Don't hate because intel has a better chip.its sad that the second intel gets brought up you see the amd fan boys say something.I would bet anything that if bd clocked to 6ghz on air that you guys would have a field day on the forums.
Fact is right now sandys are better and they clock to 5ghz
the 200$ 2500K is easily the best current gaming cpu for the price, but this is only because of how few games care about having more than 3 cores
with amd the cpus might not clock as high or have as good as IPC, so thuban with more cores is a great well rounded cpu for an incredible price (a 1055T overclocked past 4ghz shouldnt lag behind in many games at all)
if you have ONE need, then you can find the PERFECT cpu,
if you have MULTIPLE needs, then chances are there is NO PERFECT cpu.
Perfect example, thank you. Let us all set fire to our grammar skills then go into AMD threads and tell them to stop hating on Intel. This is the type of thing that makes forums horrible.Quote:

I don't hate Intel, I own an i7, but seeing the same jerks try to rip apart every AMD thread they can gets really old.Quote:

This thread should be about news about bulldozer, not statements like "2500k is awesome" .
2500k sucks.There you have it.
It makes as much sense as intel fanboys statements about 2500k being great, because we DONT HAVE ANY CREDIBLE INFO ABOUT BD YET, so how are you comparing them ?
Anyhow thats irrelevant as this thread aint about how 2500k smacks 1100T around(we dont have BD numbers ,so thats what they must be rambling on).
I bet mods are reading this.Am i wrong mods ?
Its always Intel fanboys going the distance to amd threads here and in amd section just to tell us how bad are amd cpus and how great are intel cpus.Ive never posted in intel section, cause i dont have any intel cpu.And i dont post about AMD cpus in the intel news ...
I expect the 8core parts to go head to head with (if not pass) the 990x in highly threaded workloads. Although I am a gamer there are many other things that can and will leverage the computational potential of more threads and that won't change any time soon. Rendering, encoding, folding, workstation multitasking ect. Its down to work load.
From a pure games only perspective having more threads ( than the norm today ) at your disposle isn't going to be overly benificial until we are dealing with engines that are designed for it. Now faster threads are where games will benifit today.
The dual core to quad core adoption rate was quite slow but despite this, multithreaded console hardware created a gradual influx of highly threaded game engines where the benifits can be seen on quad core hardware today (this wasn't the case when they launched). The same will apply to 6 and 8 + core processors but not until the bottleneck in software ( the game engine ) is removed and thats not going to happen until the next consoles release and even then not overnight. My point here is more cores will do little gaming wise today, but I'd be crazy to say I don't use my system for other things and that the status quo won't change in a few years time.
I havnt posted in the amd section in over 5 years.what I ment was sandy is out now and we know it clocks well and nobody knows how high a bd will clock.
If it comes out to be a monster I will get it but I hate the fact that this board is so sensitive when someone brings up intels chips.the thread dosnt have to be about the directly as bd is ment to go head to head with sandy.
Fair enough, but why do you state Sandy is the better CPU and why do you bring in how high Sandy chips clock? You're also saying noone knows how high BD will clock. I hope you see how people can misinterprete your posts.Quote:

The SB and BD clash is shaping up to become legendary.
So you are trying to justify going into AMD threads to tell them how much better Intel is even when the thread has nothing to do with Intel. And that doesn't register to you as fanboy crap? Horrible.Quote:

I'm not saying I am above petty squabbling (I hate Apple, so I should stay out Apple threads for instance), but I'm willing to admit that. Some of the people here will not only deny they attack brand names but will try to justify it. If you call them out on it you get your "Cry, cry" or "Fanboy" mud slinging, they actually get angry when you point out their trolling. Pretty awesome.
You forgot mentioning the people that are not making comparisons but are posting their unsupported opinions about how a different brand is better. (And if somebody notices the lack of relevant content in their post they cry about how they are being badgered for posting a "comparison".)Quote:

3. If BD is exactly equal to similarly priced Intel chips they will be here claiming that Intel is better because they have chips that cost 4 times as much and perform 15% better.
4. If BD is vastly superior they will be here claiming it doesn't matter since it goes against their opinion. (Or they will just disappear for awhile. But they'll be back... like a bad rash.)

Under that scenario, the propaganda is already clear. They will be saying, as they are now, that's it's 'not fair' because it's 8 cores v 4 cores ignoring that it was intel's choice to design them that way.Quote:

AMD obviously designed a smaller, more compact core which allows them to fit in more. Intel on the other hand went the HT route with bigger cores.
In my opinion all that should matter to end-users and especially reviewers are price points - you get the performance that your budget allows for. No fanboy excuse on how to look at the products and architecture should influence that... :shrug:
Well, both intel and amd fanboys dont live in the reality.But in the never never land where only what they like matters.Quote:

Intel fanboys dont realize that it rarely matters tho in the real world usage.
AMD fanboys fight like a champs defending a company which doesnt care about them and plans to f-em up just like Intel does now to its own sheeple.
Its all illogical.But people like to fight.

I really hope there's a decent supply. A paper launch would really piss a lot of people off.
Credit where credits due, Amds launches have been faultless lately. Still though, BD should be in pretty high demand so I am sure there will be shortages for the first while. To be expected really.Quote:

Do we know if the motherboards that will support BD processors will provide 2x16 PCIe lanes for Crossfire or they will have 2x8 like the SB platform ?
Also anyone knows any rumors about how strong/fast will be the HDD support compared to ICH10 and P67 Express Chipset ? I guess they will provide native support for Sata x 6Gb/s and not only from some Marvell controller am i right? What about USB3 ?
yes, 890FX can 2x 16 PCIe too, 990FX is very simillary
AMD's current 8-series boards support SATA 6GB/s and USB3 already, lol.Quote:

I can say that the only thing i know is that nForce chipset wasn't very good at HDD benchmarks comparing to Intel chipset. Is the same thing happening with AMD chipset boards too?
I apologize if my questions look very stupid to you people but as i said i was away from AMD platform for a really long time and i am finding BD a very good reason to give them a try in the near future.
I had a shot to get a cheap SB chip in a trade, which fell through. That said, I'm looking towards AMD now.
I'll have to peruse this 36 page thread looking at actual benchmarks (I haven't seen any yet!). 16x/16x makes me happy. Doing SLI on dozer seems kick ass from every perspective.
Only question I have (which can't be answered) is what type of OCing are we looking at and is air enough or do we need water for max OC?
AMD Bulldozer architecture by Franck Delattre - Hardware.fr
http://tof.canardpc.com/view/3e0723d...76aed91606.jpg
Quote:
However, AMD's architecture has great assets in his pocket, and is able to make a nice career. The flexibility of the modules versions promises to more than 8 cores in the near future, and if the frequencies are at the rendezvous, the performance will be present, especially in multi-threaded processing.
Great article :up:Quote:
Still, it will still be patient. If the first sample Zambezi begin to be distributed, the launch should not occur before July. It will take a little longer to judge the effectiveness of the new architecture into practice and see if AMD has won his bet, an appointment can not miss it!
Am I late with this?

Now the only question is how trusty the leakage is :)
the 560 in the SB score is also overclocked,
so the BD one is somehow +30% more efficient when clock rates of the gpu are taken into account
(15% faster score, with a 15% slower gpu)

So which is it, fake or not? I guess if its legit, it beats a 5GHZ i7-2600k in those CPU tests?
RussC
nearly 6k planes is a little unreal. considering it would be at stock clocks and using up to 125W of power, while the SB is probably way past 125W to reach 5ghz, which then makes BD look insanely more efficient than SB
That's hard to tell. The file property of the original image has:Quote:

RussC
That score seem to be inline with the with earlier leaks, isn't it? (Did we even have any vantage scores earlier?? I am getting confused in all this :rofl: )
Interesting is, again we have 3.8GHz listed. Is this fixed turbo? Normal? Idle? Only 95W? the 8110 is indeed supposed to have 95W TDP, it's the 3rd model in line. So why 3.8Ghz??
When you paste a screenshot into CS to save/resize it, it's going to have CS listed as orgin. End of analysis, or did I miss something? :)Quote:

sounds very unlikely to me
