Bulldozer's gonna be on 'da cheapz!

The longer the delay it the higher the consumers performance expectations get.
They are making things difficult for themselves.
If AMD does not make a come back now,things are going to get really difficult for them.

I agree. If Zambezi turns out like the Phenom I. Late and not so great. It will be the beginning of there (real) exit in highend desktop processors. They will be so far behind they will never catch up. They will be nothing but a low/mid end APU processor and GPU manufacture.

Started thinking about it and before AMD bought out NexGen, their own processor design sucked. It was NexGen processor that become the K-6 then the Athlon and on to the Phenom, same architecture just updated. Beginning to think AMD just cant build their own processor architecture.

But then if these rumors are wrong about the delay I could get fooled.

Yes we are, they are starting now I believe. People walking about and sitting down.

Looks like a really low budget, conference.Maybe if the bulldozer is a hit they can get themselves something more decent. :P

And unfortunately they are showing me the worst advertisement ever.
I hate it when I have to see that advertisement on TV and now I have seen it like 8 times and the worst part is you cannot mute the ad.

And I am going off-air again and again is the same thing happening to you.
 
I really do not think AMD's Zambezi is going to be a big disappointment. The DDR3 1866 RAM it uses is about 40 percent faster than the memory Deneb Core processors use. That is a major jump just right there.

But if Zambezi is going to delayed until after July 15th that is going to be a disappointment.
 
I hope it isn't delayed. The faster it comes out the faster we can all buy one :D

The stream is pretty horrible at the moment though.
 
Gah, the conference is almost unwatchable...

Edit: These new Llano fusion apu's have got me kind of excited. if this article holds true, That means much more affordable gaming laptops in the near future. Not to mention a good drop in price for decently powered PC's in general.

I know right? It cuts out. Comes back with bad audio then cuts out, then comes back with bad audio.

Cuts out, comes back 20 seconds later, cuts out and then comes back again..

Repeat.

And it cuts out at the worst times, like right in the middle of the windows/android tablet. That looked interesting, though the actual advantages I wouldn't know cause it cut out.

Has been delayed :(

Not all bad, gives us time to save and buy the right CPU, or what we want, rather than what we can afford :P

Atleast they launched the 9 series chipsets. :D

Well I wouldn't say that if they hadn't released or leaked the model numbers and specs around the net.

Engineering samples are out, and while they might be 20-30% less powerful than the end product, when benchmarks start arising they will give us a good estimate of performance.
 
I just hope that the BullDozer Quad Core competes with the Sandy Bridge Quads,not like the AMD hex/octo core is in competition with the Sandy Bridge Quads.
It should be atleast neck to neck.


Like the Zambezi Hex should definitely be better than the atleast the 2500k
