AMD presents "The Bulldozer Blog"

50% better AT WHAT?

For example, if the answer is "peak FLOPS", well, that would be a big disappointment, relative to what the competition is doing with SB, and relative to everyone's current BD expectations based on 256-wide FP.

50% better TPC and SAP-SD? Now that would be nice.

Not specifying what sort of "performance" you are talking about makes your claim of "50% improvement per socket" virtually impossible to interpret.

a joke as usual pls enlighten us what SB will bring of magic IPC performance increase.

Is the Osborne effect ( economics 101 ) : announcing a new product with vastly superior features will make your current product sales plummet, everyone waiting for the next generation.

You are a consumer guy that claims to know all about server, yet you have no clue at all how server companies buy there platforms and what it takes to introduce new platform or updated platforms within a company that is "volume wise" worth mentioning, not some smb who buys 1-2-3 servers each 6months or once a year.

If AMD releases too many details about BD now, with launch somewhere in H2 2011, people might delay their purchases to then, cratering their current sales and creating cash flow issues.

oh and know you know so much that you already know the launch date
