    Starting to look like BD is a total dud. Sorry, it hurts me to say this but I believe OBR is correct. I just hope I didn't wast $230 CDN on a Crosshair V mobo.

    BD = DNF of processors. ???
    As quoted by LowRun......"So, we are one week past AMD's worst case scenario for BD's availability but they don't feel like communicating about the delay, I suppose AMD must be removed from the reliable sources list for AMD's products launch dates"

    If it's true it means there is a problem with yields. It does not mean that BD has bad performance of some sorts.

    It's capacity problem, which occured with old 90nm X2.

    I think everyone especially AMD would be happy to sell as much as they did in 90nm days

    I hope you can show us some tricks then, if not you better start learning some. I'm pretty sure he's going to be right about sub-par performance and the actual date you can purchase a CPU (October).
    I really hope AMD ditches SOI and just uses a bulk process in the future. SOI has been the thorn in AMD's side for a few years now. Always causing
    delays on a new process node.

    I seen benches from multiple sources now and I can't believe they're all fake. I seriously think BD is a dud. Starting to remind me of the original Phenom launch.

    And what are those multiple sources? Everything I know about was from OBR and that Turkey site had just some fake benches from OBR.

    Can you explain why the price for BD will be 300 dollars when Its performance should be worse than even SB 2500k and is released almost one year later.
    On the other hand I can pretty much agree on the date you can buy It. Release date in September with availability in October.
