AMD Bulldozer release date may be pushed back?

Until AMD say anything, the official word is Q2. JF-AMD over at OCN isn't saying anything either.
 
I am wondering if AMD is going to delay the release of the first Socket AM3+ processors. I get the feeling they are up against the wall for the June 30th deadline and that they might not make it in time. I just hope that the delay won't be any longer than 20 more days.

I've heard as late as Sept. Needs new stepping. Remember when Phenom came out with the bug. The new stepping took four months to get out. You got to test the stepping. Then do all new runs of wafers then test some more. Then build up enough amount of the production chips before releasing them.


Bulldozer micro-architecture will be 60 to 90 days late and will emerge in August or September, according to the company

god i want an official announcement for this, i really want it out so i can just see how good it is, and then hopefully prices on other cpu's will drop and then i can afford something worth getting and not a pile of trash.
 
What do you have presently in your system and what are your wants? AMD Deneb Quad-Cores are powerful processors. I own one and love what it can do. Zambezi processors are just going to be better than Deneb processors.

Edit: I do not think that a Zambezi quad-core processor is going to match a Sandybridge quad-core processor. But I do think it is definitely going to give video game users all the processing power they need to run the software they want.

what does a denab have trouble with now? There isnt anything that has pushed my AMD yet but im curious what its limitations are. How much faster can winamp open up?

I think the way AMD is setting it up.

Zambezi 2 module/4 core vs Intel Dual core with HT
Zambezi 3 module/6 core vs. Intel Quad without HT
Zambezi 4 module/8 core vs. Intel Quad with HT
 
well right now i'm in the middle of getting the money for my build which will take a good while, as in like after ivy bridge is out at this rate, but after i get my b-day and christmas money i should be fine, but for now i'm on 2 oem's, a compaq with an athlon xp 2400+ @2.0ghz(no oc'ing on via chipsets) with a radeon 9600se 128mb oc'd a litlle, and an emachine with a pentium dual 2.2ghz @ 2.5ghz oc'd on an integrated 7050 geforce, for the build i've already gotten an apex vortex 3620(case), and a rosewill 500w with 2 +12v's at 20amps for 480w peak, 4eggs at newegg for each and both were on sole when i got them so so far i've gotten 115 worth for ~72. and currently looking at getting a (if i get the money anytime soon since my parents owe me 125) am3+ from msi (i think) with unlocking then a phenom x2 555be which will unlock to x4 @ 3.2ghz then oc a little and i'll be happy

i doubt that's the way it'll be since if the quad is around 190, and you say the quad will be = to a dual with ht which would b the i3 2100 which is only 125 at newegg and 100 at micro center, only places i really check, idk y, then they are setting up to fail since the only diff. will be having true cores for better multitasking, and $65, and they've always been less for more in the past other than their lack of performance that this is supposed to change for them, so they should price aggresively to get a better consumer market and when they find the right price for performance and cores they can bring in crap loads more profit, and if they can't figure that, then i won't pitty them if the entire company crashes and burns (other than the workers who would lose their jobs :(), but i think with all those people someone has to think of that and that will be the key to winning people looking at the i#'s

hopefully someone understands this since i like to ramble, ADHD!!!!!

edit:
and i just read this article linked to a post a couple threads down that i hadn't read, but looks like it's plausible

and a little more on llano and some other bulldozer related tings

Well considering the 8130P/8110/6110 and 4110 never really existed. None were ever released and motherboard manufactures only received ES models to test on their boards. I would say the price list was as bogas as everything else. AMD hasnt even got a stepping ready for release yet. So the price list is as fake as everything else released so far.

Rendering really pushes my AMD Deneb Quad-Core, but nothing else I run really does. When I used to play with Flight Simulator X that game would really work my Phenom II Quad-Core. The most taxing program I run presently is GTR2 (a racing video game simulation). My video card and Phenom II 945 processor handle GTR2 easy, but the game was released back around 2006.

well you don't know that, i don't know much about this stuff, but isn't it possible that they created a working model that worked as good as it needed to, then on closer inspection they realized they could make it even better by changing something to get a little more power under the hood, so that they could pull it closer to or hopefully further from, as in faster, than the i#'s,i mean why release something that could be made better to a consumer base already going the other way, when they can make it amazing and pull people that went the other way along time ago in too, they might just want to make it the most amaizing processor to date so they can be in first, or the more likely 2nd with something with similar performance with the only true advantage of their turbo's clock speeds and their 8 true core for multi tasking.

You saying I am a liar?

True!

Ramble.
 
other than the ramble part, this is like the best quote ever :D, and i'm 14, i know i don't know everything, only 99.99999999999....% of things, not like i'm a know it all:P.

Messing with the wrong guy there pal. :P ;)


Even I think the price list is fake and also all the CPUz screenshots these sites have been coming up with.
Has any other processor before has been hyped about with this much?
I mean were people doing all this stuff when phenom or i7 were to be released?

And even if they were was it this much and were this many threads and discussions were going on at that time or this is a special case with the Zambezi??
 
zambezi is being watched so much because it is supposed to be amd's comeback, where intel has always been known for their speed and amd for their # of cores for the money, this is supposed to be amd's comeback into the hiigh performance area. that's just my speculation but who knows. and also think about the amount of rumors that there are, and how much attention rumors are known to bring, if you release a bogus bit of info, people will look, add another and people talk (more), then random b.s. is created by retards and the ignoramuses that can't tell the difference between rumor and horse shit, so they talk and talk like i am now and then all of a sudden it's one of the most talked about things on the interwebz, then there is final realization that you have absolutely no life cuz you just read a ton of b.s., j.k. and not j.k. as in retard rumor b.s. (ha you thought i was making fun of you and the post was a joke, or maybe not, wel i don't know you so whatever) but back to the point, either AMD is smart enough to distract people with b.s., or too stupid to know b.s. from the truth that they are the creator of, which is actually more likely than i think anyone would like to admit, since in the world today there is a startling lack of plane common sence and i.q. points, i find school laughable in easiness, and more so when i listen to other people's q's, and btw, i env all thepeople reading this who will be gone by the time i am an adult cuz supposedly where i live has a very high average in comparison to the rest of the state, which is ga, which has one of the better systems for scores, so we're ****ed especially for inovation in this stuff if people can't understand the stuff we get taught that i learned and fully understood years ago on the science and discovery and similar channels, and they still don't understand now, i have no clue how i got this off topic or if anyone is reading this far in, i would haave hit back or skipped a while ago, but still, wait, what was i saying b4, well hopefully the bulldozer will be the thing that brings amd back so that intel is forced to work harder, thus ending with a win win for the consumers looking to upgrade, cuz at the same time when the 2 have = performance, neither can pull an i7 where the best out at the time can put its prices through the roof and floor of heven and beyond, talkin 980/90x's people, cuz they have a product that they have to compete with for pricing. i'll shut up now cuz i'm giving myself a headache thinkin about all this stuff and a ton of other things right now.

and mirhir, i mess with everyone no matter and do it way to much and too far, which isn't a good idea but it's the way i am, but i can also handle myself too, if i take it too far and someone wants to do something about it, then they're screwed cuz believ me, i'm not a scrawny chorty nerdy kid, although i'm too lazy to do it, the second the football coaches saw me they talked to the teachers and sent my mom emails trying to get me to play if that tells you anything, and no i'm not black, nothing racist but thaught that assumption might be made on this subject.

AMD is really gonna have to pull the cat outta the bag to beat Intel's 2500K and 2600K. They're having to play catch up ever since the 1155 CPU's when they're still pushing the Phenom's and stuff

You couldn’t repair your brakes, so you just made your horn louder.
