AMD to start Bulldozer AM3+ production by March 2011, launch in April 2011

So that people can immediately stop buying current product and wait? This isn't about intel.

Great. You get to piss off customers twice. The ones who will wait will be pissed if they find out that BD sucks and the ones who don't wait and buy SB will be pissed off if they find out that BD is great.

AMDs' policy is totally ed up. Release a few numbers or loose customers.

Let me get this straight.....I'm average Joe who wants to purchase a computer one week from now. I have a look at Intel and discover this fantastic chip called Sandy Bridge, great performance for the value. I say to myself, "I wonder what AMD has to compete?" Looks around, nothing to compete agains SB. I think I'll buy SB. So how are you losing sales when the person has no intention of buying AMD chips anyhow? Don't you ever think to yourself that by releasing a few benches, you can stem the tide of people (even a half of 1%) from purchasing an Intel setup? Think outside the box man.

And I thought Hector ran the company badly!
