Preliminary Bulldozer and Llano Pricing Revealed

[zalbard]

Maybe it isn't supposed to compete in high end? Why does a 320$ CPU have to compete with a 800$ orwhatitspricenow? Those Intel 6 cores are a giant ripoff in my eyes and I am sad people fell for it.

You aren't reading my posts. I explained the pricing situation (no competition). And i7 970 can already be had for $400, you know...

As for being demolished, do you assume AMD's R&D department ceases to exist after releasing bulldozer? Will that be the last chip AMD ever releases to the market?

Typical fanboy overreaction. I never said that.

That's the problem. It's NOT that obvious. It's a new architecture, unlike anything we have seen so far and we already know there might be new and interesting approaches how single threads are being processed. Saying single threaded performance = multithreaded peformance / number of cores doesn't work when you have strong turbo modes and a very different architecture, how cores are being defined.

Intel has turbo, too, you know. And is already way ahead on single core performance. Let's just hope AMD can catch up. If they get ahead then it means that 8 core BD will be the fastest thing on the market BY FAR, which means that the pricing is going to be very high.
If they do catch up then it will be a nice competitive product in both well and poorly threaded applications. With advantages in well threaded applications, obviously.

Yep, I quoted that because I found it interesting to how much conclusions you arrived at after this 99% rumour info.

Once again, you aren't reading. I explained how I got to my conclusion. Yet you fail to see that and for some reason decide to insist on your way of ME coming to MY conclusion, lol.

Yep, AMD is doomed.

Once again, typical fanboy overreaction. I never said that.

Drop it, seriously, it doesn't make you look good.
