AMD presents "The Bulldozer Blog"

[tifosi]

No point in buying AMD-based desktop motherboards that will be rendered totally outclassed by a new uarch in 9-10 months.

Why, I realize customer relations and marketing are the least of AMD's concerns, but perhaps you could go the extra mile on this one time? Otherwise, you're just warming a seat.

There are three things that i'd like to say:

1) At this point in time, any money spent on buying desktop hardware from both Intel and AMD is a questionable spend, what with the platforms changing. You could buy Magny Cours (8-core chip) based system for about the same price as an i7 system, which will be somewhat futureproof, as it supports upcoming BD processors.

2) If Intel/ AMD would actually continue with a given platform, they'd freely admit it. For one, it gets them a good chance of retaining a majority of the existing customers. If you haven't heard about it, it is most likely due to the fact that it may be up for a revision. BD is a new architecture and most likely will have a new socket(on desktop line as socket G34 continues in Server arena)... I think a look at Socket G34 will give us some idea about the newer platform, as it supports upcoming BD processors.

3)Please, "would you mind not shooting at the thermo-nuclear warhead." This is what Travolta says in Broken Arrow. Loved that film . Anyways, please don't say anything remotely derogatory to anyone, least of all, someone who you want some priceless information from. JF is more than just a trusted source... and i'm sure there are many (apart from me) who do not find your post in good tatse. Trust me, if he could, he would share information.
