Flank man, great thread! :D

One question, are you going to do benchmarks with Photoshop CS5 & Illustrator CS5?

Sorry man, but your wrong. Apple main focus, now, is product design. Along with product design, comes UX, user interaction and of course, software.

Back to topic.

Great thread people! Congrats Sin, once again, for the terrific work :)

I'm just w8 for the BD to arrive to the stores in Portugal ... i'm going green baby :) ( not very ECO though )

Really...

... Bulldozer got bulldozed ... :x

The time to change to AMD still didn't come for me...

AMD had to launch this processor ... it imagine the R&D & yieldings costs ... they must, somehow, get...

I think i will put my i7 920 in the bench table and get a bulldozer for daily use ... it seems a very capable and fun chip :)

I think that the FX line will be great for gamers...

For what i've been reading and seing ... if you're not a synthetic bencher and more of a gamer... the FX will give you top performance on par...

Hmmm rinta,

didn't you try out one and said AMD had nothing to worry about ?
Was yours a good sample or you just made a guess?

The first observation i do to motherboards are usually about Caps, Mosfets & Inductors ... and the type of VRM design they use... so we have the same points of analysis there :)

Isn't the VRM...

Sky... that's great man :)
I Still stand with my thoughts ... :) We can't buy one expecting that will break the 1Ghz core ... That's all about gpu binning ... not about the phases by themselves :)

And some Gold Strike too ...
Everyone i know makes a bad face when i talk about Gold Strike, so i guess everyone got drunk with it ... ehhehe

It's a good mix ... Absint + GoldStrike = Easy BD :P

Depends man ... I had a 580 DCUII ... and it topped at 975Mhz ... and saw others than were toping at 960... 950 ...
It's still hard to get a 580 to go 1000Mhz core on air ...

Even if you had 16...

Neo... i respect your opinion but ... really, your assessment/analysis is worthless without knowing what specific components they are using... It's not all about the number of parts you count...

Mats are you that eager for the Bulldozer than you can't talk about rumors and "stuff" so you don't get frustrated? :P
Jeez, we're talking about "news", rumors ... whatever! If we think about it......

Btw, as i said earlier... i think rumor is all about getting attentions off BD or creating more frustration:
...

Serious, now with the "drama queen" aside... these are bad news if real. I'm talking about business opportunity and business plan... not just about frustration for the users.
You all know that a...

Muzi... frustration of waiting for something is sometimes stronger :)
I don't have a problem with it ... many will not have problem with it. But it's all about marketing and market momentum :)
...

By launching the BD in September, they will loose all the momentum ...
If that's true, fail.
Those who really need a system now will go with Sandy... and those w8 for a serious upgrade later this...

Nice to see on that article that "they use scaled-down and locked "engineering samples" " for testing... :x

Oh boy ... my i7 920 is still "alive and kicking" ... i can w8 ... but for those of you...

Ahahah... AMD did a really good job of keeping everything "secret". People are going in circles, coming up with "news" that surfaced some months ago ... just to keep this "speculation" running :)
...

Oh... ok... 07.06 and 11.06 ...

Ok ... It was just trying to understand those numbers... :P

LL = Llano?

Jeez... that cheap? ...

Hmmmmm ... let's see how it goes then ... :P

can't really think why they thought that a plastic shroud will enhance any thermal dissipation at all ...

Plastic is not a good thermal conductor ... it's more the other way around, it conserves...
