Bulldoze that Sandy Bridge

[JF-AMD]

No, I want JF to convince me to cancel my 2500k order by showing me something (I'm not part of the dual-socket crowd, I'm talking about mainstream Bulldozer). Throw me a bone willya JF? lol.

The best way to convince you would be to let you buy it and then face buyers remorse later, right

Just watch all the rumor mill sites take this as: JF-AMD states Bulldozer will ROFLPWN Sandy Bridge!!

I think it will with ease! [for server workloads]
8 cores vs 4 cores + HT, in most well threaded apps 4 module BD shouldn't have problem with i2600K. Of course Intel will have their 8 core SB on the market before end of year, but the question was about 4 core variant .

I wouldn't put much hope in SuperPi scores on AMD to catch SB, but gaming should be much better than on K10 and that means at least not so much behind SB.

I really can't wait to see even Stream benches, if not more! Where is s7e9h3n when you need him most

Intel already have 8 core Nehalem (Beckton), much less 8 core SB (which due to the ring bus, should be easier to scale to many cores ).

Well, I knew that. That's the reason of '8 core SB' in my post, specifically pointing to Dusty Bridge architecture variant for LGA2011. That's where all the fun will happen end of this year.

AMEN! He normally crops up around this time.
