    sir, i think it's more on d board compatibility side instead of chip. i got sticks which can happily run 2.1k on one board but disliked by another.

    agreed. it also depends on whether or not the imc of the chip play nice with the ram being used.

    i thought the IMC has the upper hand when controlling or having compatibility issues

    not necessarily coz sometimes same chip & ram can yield different results on different boards sir.

    Man I can't wait! My mother has been wanting a new computer for a while, so when I told her that her next computer could have 8 cores instead of 6, she immediately told me she would wait and she's on pin and needles with excitement, waiting for BD to come out. I'm building her a high powered Adobe Suite Graphics Station. Possibly later with a second screen. I can't wait till I get to mount that new CPU!!!

    Is it true that you get better faster processor for the same money as for buying Intel cpu?

    I don't know, but I know BD is gonna be real fast.... and I don't buy Intel because of their business practices, so really for me its the only other option. Even though there's two companies with lots of options to choose from, it still feels like a very limited choice. I really wish AMD would get its act together and recover from the blows its suffered.

    no, that's not true.

    What you will get is a competitively priced CPU that will be better than Intel at some some, while worse at other things. It may be a little cheaper for the power you get, as AMD doesn't have quite the reputation as Intel.

    As for the upcoming BD chip from AMD. I suspect multithreaded apps it will be better, while single threaded it will be worse (for your money anyway). Will you notice.... nah, I doubt it.

    I hope they're out by the end of September. I'm more than ready

    After that I'm going to upgrade my GPU with AMD's next big thing when it hits.

    Waiting on FM2 probably is a wise move. I'll be happy if overclocked BD can hang with overclocked SB well. If FM2 ends up blowing BD out of the water in performance, I'll eventually move to that.

    I'm tired of playing the waiting game so I'm snatching up BD when it hits.

    Bulldozer has nothing to do with Netburst. It has high clock potential,that is the only similarity.

    What's the expected price on these? I'm not crazy about the FX returning, they were as bad as the old P4 extreme chips with way too high a price for what they did not do.

    Wooo! 2 posts since 08', darn forum change over

    gotta support the underdog, intel is a damn monopoly!

    the anticipation for both BD and the HD7000 series is killing me....

    Having speed demon design does not mean it's like netburst.....
    BD will have higher IPC than K10.5, while Netburst had lower IPC than Pentium 3.

    It's like AMD decided to make it a speed demon AND a brainiac chip at the same time.
    And they designed something superior to hyperthreading (modules).

    Actually pushing higher IPC was not the design goal in BD.

    Can you elaborate on that? I seriously doubt that BD wasn't meant to be faster clock-for-clock. AMD hasn't pushed real IPC improvements in K10 so that would mean that they would be satisfied with IPC that is comparable to K8 (2003?).

    IPC may not have been the largest design goal, but it has indeed increased in the BD core regardless.
    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Rule 3:
    When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    Random Tip o' the Whatever
    You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.

    But they did push IPC. It just wasn't the only thing they pushed.

    Indeed,IPC will probably increase with Bulldozer core but not by much- think 10% in int and similar for FP (without recompile). With Llano we had a >6% (AT measured up to 14% and as low as 3%), just by some smaller tweaks and upping the L2 cache size to 1MB. With BD ,we have a whole new L2 cache that is now shared,we have some massive pipeline changes (to allow higher clock) and we have some major uarchitectural improvements in instruction fecth,decode,branch prediction and last but not least prefetching.All these are a big step up and will offset any IPC impact that longer pipeline (or 3rd ALU) might have had on Bulldozer average IPC.
