(First off, I want to apologize in advance if the following comments cause anyone to get upset.)
Ouch. If these early benchmarks are accurate, this is going to make Fermi's launch look good. Seriously though... there were a lot of signs that were clear as day pointing to Bulldozer being a flop. The price was way too low for the hyped performance claims, combined with the delays, repeated yield problems, and the deafening silence from AMD and their cheerleaders like Charlie over at "rarely-accurate". Then top it off with the arrogance in naming it Bulldozer, implying it's going to 'bury the competition'.... and you have a perfect storm.
As expected, many of you are having a hard time dealing with being let down, and as SKYMTL mentioned... the 5 stages of grieving are clearly illustrated in this thread.
This is the one and only post i'll make poking fun at the fanboys even though it would be fun to flood these threads with bulldozer jokes and photochopped images like many here did a couple years ago. Oh the irony.
