AMD Bulldozer Thread

[jazkat]

I find it a bit ridiculous that JF is getting all this flack.

Most of his posts (particularly those dealing with the "Bulldozer 20 questions" blogs) were factual and really didn't over hype the architecture or the performance thereof. You guys are feeding him to the wolves before the HPC processor he talked about (Interlagos) has even been extensively benchmarked. Granted, there were a few posts here and there that could be picked apart by detractors but for the most part, the information he brought to the table was often insightful and lent some sanity to discussions populated with people who didn't know what they were talking about. Most forums would kill to have someone like him around and yet here he gets crucified.

Even more to the point, you guys seem to have forgotten that some of XS's premier members (and supposedly those who should have been "in the know") and certain websites were the ones who propagated the vast majority of erroneous information to members. To be honest, most of the extreme amount of hype came from people who were doing nothing but musing about what Bulldozer COULD be. I won't point fingers here but if you're butthurt about being misled, this witch hunt is going after the wrong individual.

i 1000000000% agree with you my friend, you are spot on.

some of the top guys here on this forum who most look upto were the ones saying BD was a win, but they have had no grilling and are invisible even tho they gave incorrect info, JF gets it all and i think its unfair.

there followers wont admit it anyway.
