    Do you really think Intel need to launch 2700K/2800K

    I don't think so IMHO ...

    I know what SKU is in it and I know the prices. Can't reveal obviously, but based on our 6100 series prices that could be ~$15-$97,000. Give or take a dollar here or a dollar there.
    While I work for AMD, my posts are my own opinions.

    If it interests anyone there appears to be a complete CPUID dump for a quad core A1 stepping Zambezi engineering sample posted on this site. The site appears to have a fairly large collection of CPUID dumps for various CPUs. I can't link directly to the dump but its at the end of the AMD section and the model number of the cpu is "AMD Eng Sample, ZD302046W4K43_36/30/20_2/8_A". I believe this is the first known complete CPUID dump for a bulldozer chip. I checked a few of the registers, ie the processor specification registers Fx8000_0002 through 0004, and when decoded to ascii from hex, they agreed with the alleged processor specification. The CPUID Fn0000_0001_ECX register also indicates the CPU supports AES and AVX, so it isn't a blatant fake based off deneb or thuban or something. (Of course it could still be a very painstakingly created fake) I'm wondering if any further information can be gleaned using AMD's CPUID Guide.

    Oh, that`s really one spectacular guess. You only gave or took some $82,000 here and there :-).

    I think they will! I also think Intel is going have to pull rabbits out of their hat after Zambezi launches, and I also don't think Intel 2700 or 2800 whatever is gonna cut it!
