basically all that Bulldozer needs now is 32nm tech verification! AMD isn't going to make another K10 mistake and go with old process and new architecture.
We can see now that what K10 needed was 45nm tech to show it's true value. If only IBM has perfected SOI on Immersed 45nm tech when was promised... definitely Sony and AMD suffered most 'cos of that delay.

with 32nm tech and state of things in GloFo, story with 32nm tech will be completely different, and AMD could start verification of Bulldozer uArch with first tape-out of 32nm wafers in summer 2010...

what's really encouraging is the fact that even in these hard times AMD is on track to maintain tempo of new uArch every four years... K7->1999, K8-> 2003, K10->2007, Bulldozer (K11) -> 2011
