You know, something that confirms that A* silicon exists in-house and can at least boot Windows and show the 8 threads chugging away. Like AMD did for Barcelona back in 2006.
They are already sampling Llano to some select partners and have never even demoed a system running a simple thing as task manager.What makes you think they will "show off" the current state of Bulldozer design,the one chip that will be the bread and butter when it comes to revenue and competing with intel for the next couple of years?
BTW we now have a confirmation that Ontario(Bobcat-the new uarchitecture as D.Meyer said it himself a few days ago) is also ready and being tested and this one is even done on a whole different node(40nm bulk;Llano and BD are 32nm SOI HP).
