I doubt bulldozer will see 2010. I also still doubt it will be compatable AM3. If it is compatable with AM3, I predict a serious let down on the performance. Similar to that of the original gtx400 fermi's when first released which were suppose to ''crush'' the 5k series of ATI.
AMD needs a full revamp of architecture and a new socket, having compatability with old hardware I think keeps their new products from performing well. I heard awhile back that bulldozer really needs more than 938 pins. I mean look at intel, they have 1366 pins for a reason. So again, I think it's gonna be a huge performance let down compared to even nehalam let alone sandy bridge if it remains compatable with AM3.
