Wouldn't surprise me a bit if all these 'leaks' are orchastrated by intel's investment wing (who've been implicated in stock manipulation in the past) and/or AMD shorts to affect AMD stock value. AMD finance message boards and tech forums are infested with intel shills and viral marketeers. It's glaringly obvious. Here's a couple examples.
Elmer Phudd the moderator is the biggest intel shill around. And now moderating an AMD finance message board?

Yahoo AMD finance message boards are a cesspool of intel shills (set your rating to 1 star to see any relevant posts).

The same guy necro-posing this thread in Anandtech forums is posting the same crap on Yahoo forums.

That's just the tip of the iceburg.
AMD has said repeatedly that performance numbers will only be revealed through their blogs. So are all these fake and unrealistic 'rumors' floating around just intel fanboys having fun? Doubt it. Is it designed to disrupt and manipulate stocks, cause uncertainty? It's starting to look that way.

This just made me LOL litterally,you do know that intels big dog Ivy bridge chip just got delays to 2h2012 right?
Why would they delay there ivy bridge? because maybe they are waiting to see how well BD does against sandy. if sandy is a better performer they have no reason to put out ivy bridge yet since they will pick up sales from people that were waiting to see how BD will stack up against sandys.
Things get delayed from both sides,its not intels fault that BD is not out yet.It is AMDs fault that Ivy is backed up tho.There is no reason for intel to put out Ivy since there is no BD yet.They can easily sell a crap load of sandys while they wait for BD to hit the streets.

When a rumor is start we just wait the rumor be clarify, or somebody may complain about the rumor, but when you continue discussing based on the rumors are TRUE, you may dive into flame war.
Don't believe in Fudo, nobody can sure whether IB is delayed, and nobody can sure amd is delayed, too.![]()
So you're the one who'll cut his own face to spite others? Intel's shareholders will bloody murder the people in charge if they found out that they are holding out on new tech which will potentially give them higher margins per chip. Well, smaller chip mostly translates in reduced cost and the shareholders love nothing more than a bigger share of the pie.
Now BD... i know someone personally... i guess that person wouldn't mind giving out the date of the launch... let me see what i can dig up! However, it is a different region and i guess the availability dates may not exactly be the same as in US.
You do know intel makes its money from the server market right,like a 8 billion dollar profit last year from there server side.
Those chips are 1300 each.Intel is selling sandy just fine and will wait it out.I mean they did just put out sandy to begin with and we have been waiting for BD for over 5 years.Do you honeslty think there investors will murder them for waiting 3 months longer to come out with Ivy? what about the money they lost in the sandy recall that they rushed out.
Ivy's launch has nothing to do with what AMD has going on, Intel's isn't going to sit on a new process/fabs that cost billions of dollars in R&D, they need to turn that R&D investment back into profits ASAP. From what I've read FinFet is no piece of cake to make, Intel has been working on it for eight years already, when its ready to mass produce they aren't going to wait on anyone, doesn't matter what AMD or anyone else has.
In the meantime, If BD starts to cut in on Intel's share they would just make some price adjustments (price cuts). I'd love to see a CPU price war!![]()
