Perhaps they didn't want to risk casting a dark shadow over their very good quarterly report a couple days ago? If Bulldozer's performance is not up to par, then holding the info until after their stock is adjusted according to their earnings is a smart play.

On the other hand, if the performance is huge.... I'd think the shareholders would want to add icing to their quarterly piece of cake.

Either way, the cake is a lie.
We didn't know much at all about Radeon 6000. We did know alot about Phenom and Phenom II including som performance numbers, how did that turn out? We didn't know anything about Radeon 4000, not much about 5000 or 6000. It seems like less information from AMD means better performance.
