Says who? They apparently have working silicon now. More than likely under one year.Originally Posted by STaRGaZeR
AMD is not within 6 months of a launch... maybe not even 12 months
Sorry, that was too easy.

As quoted by LowRun......"So, we are one week past AMD's worst case scenario for BD's availability but they don't feel like communicating about the delay, I suppose AMD must be removed from the reliable sources list for AMD's products launch dates"
You think AMD is going from first silicon on a BRAND NEW microarchitecture on a brand new process to launched parts in *under* 1 year? They would have to be extraordinarily lucky.
And what makes you think they want to give A0 silicon to a review site??!! These things typically run at low clocks, major functionality can be bugged, etc., etc. It would be a PR disaster.

AMD doesn't need to give anything to a review site. They can simply release the information on a slide at some future event. Let's hope for the sake of sane CPU prices that AMD can get something out the door before September 2011. I'm personally going to SB myself as I'm not going to wait for AMD. I had a spark of enthusiasm in the other AMD thread, but after seeing some SB numbers, that spark is extinguished.

I would wait for the S2011 SB and by that also BD should be close around the corner.
