Yeah, Bulldozer is an epic failure, I built a 990FX system all ready to go hoping that Bulldozer would deliver but apparently didn't. I have no more hope for AMD when it comes to CPU's anymore. and I doubt their next generation would be any good as well. The gaming benchmarks were the worst though, and power consumption was insane despite that its slower than the i7 2600K, not worth it. Not going to buy Bulldozer anymore.
