In AMDs 1Q 2011 earnings call Rick Bergman, Senior Vice President and General Manager at AMD when questioned about the launch dates of different Bulldozer-based products noted that:

"...we indicated early summer for desktops and late summer for servers. And that's still where we're at."

In order to get to the bottom of this story, we have contacted Mr. Drew Prairie and Mr. Steve Howard, AMD's PR representatives close to heart of the matter. We inquired about the statement Rick Bergman made and received the following answer:

"Our public roadmap has not changed."

Yes, the source is the Bull Sh*t Network (BSN) but the source is legit as it is straight from AMD's PR Department.

They would not be allowed to make a statement unless they knew something about the situation.

Early summer = Late June

My 16th birfday will be July 3rd...I hope to have one of the 8 cores and a UD5/Crosshair V in my hands at that point

**zalbard** · 05-26-2011, 03:25 PM

Good to know, thanks.
Now to see some numbers!

**TheBreezyBB** · 05-26-2011, 05:45 PM

I didn't know there was rumors about BD getting delayed anyway. I need an OCTA core system ASAP.

**Chrono Detector** · 05-26-2011, 06:24 PM

Glad its not been delayed, hate it when people make up bull

just to piss everybody off.

Gosh when I was 16 I was enamoured with my P4 3.2C Northwood and 9800Pro. Oh how things have changed.

I wouldn't be anywhere near as well off without chew* (Brian) here, Bingo13 (Gary) and 64NOMIS (Simon) from AMD...
When I turned twelve I built a rig with an Athlon X2 5600+, Nvidia 8800GTS 320MB and nforce 590 sli board...Vista had just been released and things were pretty nice

I didn't really get into OC'ing until early '09 when I joined here, ended up with a Phenom II 965BE, HD 4850 and 790X-UD4P in my hands that christmas...held me over a while

Ummm....

**Daveburt714** · 05-26-2011, 08:34 PM

That's not very reassuring coming from you Bingo....

I guess summer doesn't officially start until June 21st, so July could still be
considered early summer, but I was certainly hoping for something sooner.

**FlanK3r** · 05-26-2011, 10:20 PM

man, I dont know, its so much confusing...

**duron** · 05-26-2011, 11:44 PM

oh the anticipation!

all we can is wait-wait-wait

**Olivon** · 05-26-2011, 11:51 PM

In France, Rumors are more Aug-Sept as I indicated before ...

it doesn't get more trustable just because the same rumor from the same source gets posted on yet another side

**Kingcarcas** · 05-27-2011, 12:33 AM

I've gotten bored with PCs, something cool better come out.

Hardware.fr made its own insight job before posting this newz, they got several contatcs and I trust 'em.
I would be very happy if BD hits the street the sooner possible and brings some competition in the party.
I just share information that I find and, for now, they're not so good regarding hard launch. Hope things will change though ...

**FlanK3r** · 05-27-2011, 01:42 AM

maybe they really only need next time to fixed some "problems". Oh, so much hate this waiting, it is full stressed

**Mats** · 05-27-2011, 03:13 AM

AMD says June, why would they lie about that?

Why should we trust other various rumors and sources over AMD?

Ah, you were one of those.

I was an AMD user at that point on an Athlon XP 2500+ or XP-M 2600+. I'm not sure which I was using at that time. The mobile chip would clock to 2.6 GHz while the 2500 it replaced maxed around 2.3 GHz.

**generics_user** · 05-27-2011, 06:06 AM

gigabyte UD5 and UD7 look very good and tempting

asus is screwing up most of its lates boards in terms of layout and time to market so it isn't an AMD only problem from them (i'm desperately waiting for Maximus IV Gene-Z because i don't like to buy a baby blue gigabyte board for my all black case, 2600k, 4 Hitachi 7k1000.Cs, 8gb Ram, TRUE, Seasonic X560 are already waiting for the board...)

MSI still has to reveal its AM3 Big Band board as the first leak got degraded to a GD80

but amd really has to get their Raid 5 Support together (better: license the IP for a proper integrated raid controller), i'm tired of buying intel boards because i don't want to spend 200€ on an aftermarket raid controller to get more than 100mb/s over my network from the raid 5 array...

and i don't get it why they didn't slap the Llano A75 chipset (which offers everything 950 has + 4x USB3.0 and is ready for launch) onto 990FX

According to AMD:

Both PU's are transition models, Zambezi have old chipset (only slightly different), while Llano have old cores.

When i was 16 i had an Amstrad PC XT (8086) with 512 KB ram, updated to 640 KB, EXPENSIVE!!!!

Come on, those sources are reliable, they are the same ones who predicted the end of the world would happen last week, and they were right!
