I wonder why people only complain when it comes to AMD threads? Go look in the "Sandybridge," "Westmere-EP," and "Westmere-EX" threads. No one is complaining. This thread is about an announcement. What possibly can you discuss, possible dates of the actual announcement? No chip exists in a vacuum, every chip design is inevitably going to be compared to existing designs. The discussion right now is about "IPC," which is quite relevant to bulldozer since this is the one area AMD is lagging heavily (and is only competitive by ramping up frequency and adding more cores, plus aggressive pricing) IPC is very relevant imo.
