JF-AMD has vehemently stated in this forum and elsewhere that desktop would come in Q2 and server in Q3.

Aug-sept is neither early summer or Q2.

If I recall events properly, last year AMD said Bulldozer is H2 2011 product.
Then Llano got delayed past 2010, to Q1 2011 and then again to Q3 2011. AMD came forward and said they moving Bulldozer 1Q forward to Q2 for Desktop and it will launch before Llano.
Early in Q1/11 Charlie wrote an article saying GF manufacturing problems with Llano are sorted and it might move forward by 1Q to launch in Q2 instead of late Q3.
I bet that's what happened and AMD again moved BD back to Q3 2011 due to volume manufacturing constrains.

Just my guess, but if someone is bored can research all the info on iterwebs
