Personally I got tired of AMD's BS and just bought a SB system. I couldn't be happier. I'll be recommending Intel systems to friends, family and my current customer base. If you're on the fence waiting for AMD, jump off. Don't financially support a company that doesn't give a rat's ass about it's customers. Just my 2 cents.

Two things will happen to you when BD is released.

1. You will be glad you made the jump on SB and brag about it endlessly on forums.

2. You will come to realise two months went by so quick and you couldn't even utilise SB to its potential and regret not waiting 2 months.

ok. and wish Intel will lower its retail pricing after it gots 99.9% market share in PC processor sector.

Not everyone has as much money as you. That doesn't make them an idiot.

[insurgent]

Life's pretty simple and you guys just complicate the hell out of it. If it's not ready then it's not ready. If you can't wait then don't, stop posturing like the world stops to care just because you can't get your early performance previews. I've had my rant and moved on but some guys just go on and on and on like a whiny energizer bunny.

[sin0822]

act like adults guys, no need to swear at each other over this.

Not true; for the amount of time some people have been trolling here, it'd be extremely easy to get dosh for a decent chip. Plus there's always resale...


Back in the days people OCed for fun, bargain chips were in, and nobody took sides; look at what these bunch of divas are. Ugh. Worse than women.

[jimbo75]

Oh whats wrong? Did I offend all the itty bitty AMD fanboys? Go yourselves.

You'd impress us a lot more if you had something more worthwhile to do with your new SB instead of trolling on forums with it.

[Dimitriman]

I cant remember his name but there were a few chips that were leaked to show gaming performace and for the first time people could break 25k 3d01 with a stock card.

A64s were pounding intels chips and amd had them leaked.its perfect marketing to slow sales down from the other side.

Just like we get reviews of up coming ssds to stop you from buy one thats out now.

quote me right now,BD WILL FAIL,that is why the freaking ceo was fired right when the sandy bridges benches came out.they new there chip was going to fail against SB.

Challenge accepted.

Who cares about IB? SB is out since March(sata mobo bug),this year. That is 3 months of retail availability.Zambezi will launch @ end of July.So we have BD desktop effectively trailing SB desktop by 4 months.Wow,a massive difference!
IB is Q2 2012 product and Haswell is Q4 2012 or Q1 2013.By the time Haswell arrives we will not only have 20 core enhanced Bulldozer out,we will have real next gen bulldozer with GPGPU coprocessor on-board(and software stack in place).So ,who cares about 2012/2013 products again? Stay on topic which is Zambezi or go to some other thread and discuss end of days year all you want.

SB is out since january, not march.. many people got their systems between january-march and replaced the motherboard.

from the lion's mouth: "zambezi PIBs scheduled to be available late summer 2011" "60-90 days from cumputex 2011"

good luck on finding a zambezi to buy in july...

[Sparky]

I think this is pertinent and applies to several people. I therefore use it again.



Also, to a few of you,

Late Summer is August in any civilised northern-hemisphere country.

i laugh at idiots that thinks that are not.

[El Mano]

Late Summer is September here.
Perhaps we are not a civilised country nevertheless

Well late August is "late summer". You could stretch it into September if you really wanted.

The point is, nowhere in the civilised northern hemisphere would claim that July was "late summer".

+1 Autumn begins on September 23rd of this year in the US and Canada. I'd consider late August / early September as late summer here.

Hmmm rinta,

didn't you try out one and said AMD had nothing to worry about ?
Was yours a good sample or you just made a guess?

Crippled but not much as one in video.
Most likely same chips that goes for manufactuerers for motherboard testing.

AMD intentionally cripples the chips in order to hide their true performance, but there is nothing to worry about for AMD considering what it goes against in its price range.

[Swingline39]

I guess it makes me a stupid AMD fanboy that I'm still excited for BD. I have no need and no money to put towards a system right now, so there's hardly a sense of urgency, just anticipation. I'm witholding judgement until there's an official release.

[rintamarotta]

Arent we all stupid AMD fanboys? Having fristfights about what BD is going to be like, super slow fail, super fast intel killer or not eather one of them.
Time to turn into VIA fanboy? Ehh?

[Chaserjzx100]

there goes another bulldozer thread down the drain..... just here for the wank actually ^_^

[tbone8ty]

dude mods seriously close this thread, I expect more from XS members FAIL

[god_43]

lol!!!!

Eh I just bought a 2500k to mess with just because I'm always tinkering with new technology. It's not that much more impressive than my previous 1055T and 840T X6 TBH. But power consumption is much lower. If BD kicks ass I'll just sell my LGA1155 setup, if not then I can wait till next year and upgrade to IB (BIOS update hopefully) or 2nd gen BD.

Some people really know how to ruin a perfectly good thread, jeez if you don't like it just stay away from it.

disscussion, different opinions make up the world. people like to debate a topic, they also like to vent their frustrations.

What is the point in all of these ridiculous trolls coming in to proclaim that they got tired of waiting on BD and bought SB instead?

Don't you get it? We couldn't care less, nobody could, and we're not going to give you a pat on the back for selling out. The really stupid thing is, AMD could launch BD on desktop within the next 3 weeks and they'd still be in Q2. Not saying it will happen but it just shows how ing retarded these comments are.

well if you believe that they are trolls then adhere to the first rule of the interents...dont ing feed them! also you could be so banned right now, all of these slurs at attacks against other members...calm down a bit eh?

i had high hopes for via and nvidia merger, but alas it was not ment to be. nvidia decided to whore themselves out to arm.

[freeloader]

Sorry for my little outburst. I'm just a little miffed with AMD lately. Considering I've been a loyal AMD customer for the last 12 to 14+ years (the last Intel system I ever owned prior to my SB system was a P3 600mhz Coppermine and I've probably built 1000+ AMD systems in that time) it hurts me to see AMD can throw away any customer loyalty by deceiving it's customers. That's how I feel I've been treated by them lately. We can argue about that all day, but this isn't the place or thread for it.

[richierich]

I just find it funny how some certain members on another forum *cough* @ *cough* think that this is going to represent the actual performance of retail BD. AMD priced it near the 2600K. I would assume it would perform near that or better.

And for anyone that thinks I'm trolling here's my previous desktop processor history: AMD K6-200, AMD Phenom II X4 920 (1/09), 550 (6/09), 555 (3/10), 1055T (4/10), E5200 (1/11), Q9300 (1/11), 555 (2/11), 955 (2/11), 840T (4/11), 2500K (6/11).

[Manicdan]

if BD performs as bad as a quad core deneb, i will buy one, and pee on it, and upload the video for all you to see
