It cuts both ways. I am also taking a very heavy risk if I wait for a new processor from AMD to build my rig without having even an iota of knowledge about the product or even specific month of launch. Especially, when we know that Bulldozer was supposed to launch in 2009. wasn't it?

The problem is that AMD is the only competitor of Intel and unfortunately we have pretty good idea about how Intel's next CPU is going to turn out. You can't keep enthusiasts, most of whom in fact care about AMD, in dark and just give them empty words to cling on. Intel is a tough beast to compete with but more secrecy from you guys doesn't really inspire confidence.

I sincerely hope some solid info is coming next week... no performance data but at least a working chip shown in public and a specific launch schedule.
