AMD's Bobcat and Bulldozer

[blindbox]

Sandy Bridge LGA-2011 will come in 8- and 6-core flavors for the desktop. (in Q3)

There's a table toward the bottom of the wiki entry that may help you keep track of all the variants:

Something more official would be nice. Everything has been word of mouth lately. 8c without a doubt will come to servers but what about desktops?

Though I think we can trust ajaidev's words but yeah, it'd be nice to have an official word or slides, just to remove all doubts.

with HT too,8c/16t and 6c/12t.correct?ive been hearing so many different things
now that the 1155 preview was done,and i think the s2011 keeps getting lost in the mix.is there any definitive info on this?
and also ive heard that the second iteration of BD might have 8c/16 using cmt instead of smt.any truth to this?that would be very sweet if its true

Bulldozer is pretty much an optimized CMT. CMT's supposed to give you twice a core's performance for even greater die-size but AMD settled for greater die-saving but for 80% of a core's performance.. I'm just quoting the slides.
