The constant hype ( either direct or simulated ) and raising people's expectations while at the same time downplaying the competitor's products created a certain aura around Bulldozer. While obviously, this is beneficial for your company from a marketing POV, at the same left you vulnerable.You've engaged with speculators ( like Dresdenboy ) and offered inside snipets from time to time directing him.
The question is why are you offended by the prank ( albeit a bad taste one ) :
- your name in it ? Like I've said, self-inflicted. This is what happens when you loiter on an enthusiast site where the average age is 16 years and everybody's problem is how to OC their microwave. Of course, going into real server forums with real server people and engineers is a very different league with other expectations.
- are the predictions too close to reality ? If so, kudos to Dresdenboy and his research. His ambition and your snippets put him on the right track. At the same time, this let's the sniffers at Intel to sense that something is going on in this direction. Whether they've already studied the work of Dresdenboy or they are currently, is a different topic. With 1 year to go, this might give them some threshold to aim for with Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge.
Psychosis ? I beg to differ; my only weapons are logic and good old common sense. Somehow, you seem to lack at least one of them.
