    At last comes the clarifications. Looks like amd has changed its plan about APU & bulldozer, perhaps APU is in great need but yield is not enough for Llano, so they decided to sacrifice bulldozer, by postponing it about 2 month.
    I'm afraid it's the long-term strategy, that put APU first, then CPU later, to feed the need of APU. I think it's right about this strategy but some high-end user maybe disappointed about this.
    BTW good to hear about the Trinity sample is out, they may have enough time to plan this "bulldozer+APU" product.

    Edit: I think the process node is health because Llano has no problem, the postponing is just a new strategy, being decided when the CEO, Dirk Meyer was left.

    Edit2: I suddenly realized that whether there was any incorrect strategy when Dirk Meyer was still here. AFAIK the amd server platform always comes out first(Shanghai, Istanbul, etc), but this time the Zambezi is aheaded Interlagos for about a hole quarter, it maybe indirectly leaked the Interlagos performance. OTOH, the production shortage of Zacate maybe due to the wrong strategy too.
