AMD to launch desktop Bulldozer "Zambezi" at E3 Show in L.A. (June 7-9)

wow so much nonsense in your latest posts. u should read your own posts again and u might see what i point at You should also read more on bulldozer design if you like the concept.

Well, point out what's incorrect. And I know quite much about BD's design. I would say most of what's know publically.

I don't accept avoiding answers like "I'll let you figure that out yourself." Point something out.

I would think the same thing....... BUT I do remember the much hyped (lots of hype from AMD as well) Phenom line of CPU's which turned out to be absolute trash..... also from what i have seen so far in the naming Scheme the FX line of CPU's will pretty much just replace the Phenom 2 name in an attempt to build off the past beastly name.

I think AMD will make some HUGE mutlithreading per improvements and the integrated GPU will be a huge plus over Intel but I can't possibly see how they will come close to equalling or beating Intel in low threaded perf. like say 1-4 cores of workload which represents the majority of even enthusiast load. I have yet to see a single game use more then 3 cores PROPERLY. most conversion prog or photo/music editing progs won't use more than 4 cores... other average use again under 4 cores. In which case AMD might have a tough time beating SB....

One of the best things with BD is that not only is the frequency increased with fewer threads, but IPC per thread is increased as well.
If you have one hexacore i7 and one hypothetical hexacore BD with equal performance at 6 threads, I believe that BD will have quite a performance advantage if both are running only one thread. All the i7 gets is more cache and bandwidth to that thread and higher frequency, while BD also gets higher IPC.
