AMD Tapes Out First "Bulldozer" Microprocessors.

[flippin_waffles]

Intel only knows how much technology they have stored up, but considering Intel has not slowed down its research efforts considering their R and D spending and has simply just slowed down the release of its products, regardless of how good BD is, Intel likely has something waiting to crush it.

Deneb wasn't even that good really. It basically something that caught up to core 2 quad in speed and even here it still slower clock for clock.

Dude, put down the pipe. The last 2 revisions were istanbul and magny cours. Both of which came out ahead of schedule and higher than expected perf and perf/w and perf/$.

Edit:

And case you choose to count desktop as the only architecture that matters, Thuban was also released with much higher clocks than expected and is trading blows with the competition.
