AMD Zambezi news, info, fans !

I don't know about you, but I see my self as an enthusiast. As an enthusiast I like "kick-ass-hardware", basically, I don't mind buying the very best, no matter the price - even if we are talking about $999.

And as an enthusiast AMD will disappoint me if Bulldozer not will delivery performance that is worth an upgrade over a Phenom II x6. I would rather see a chip at the price level of $500-$999 that out perform intels i7 processors then this comprimise in price/performance.

We want performance, but gets price/performance. IMO that sucks.

*Still I'm quite sure that I will pick up a 8150 at the release day, if it will be available *

(Based on what these slides and other leaks have shown so far)

your not the market they were aiming for. their market was mainstream and highend. the chips that go for 1000$ are only like 2% of the income because of how rare they are sold.

And I respect that, but performance sells. Intel is a very good example of that.

They sell caue that is all anyone knows, they sell cause every windows based software company has recomendations of Intel bla bla, or better in the hard ware requirements sheets (excpet some games now days). That's the only reason my company sells and install Intel, is cause "it said we had to"

^^ Well said... They sell because of their huge marketing budget. They have managed to brain wash and condition the masses of people into thinking that Intel is the only way.
Oh, and lets not forget their anti-competitive / illegal / bullying practices not so very long ago which gave them a huge market advantage.
