My 1055t at 4.0Ghz is better than Bulldozer in most aspects of computing.

Really?

...really?

 

[BlueTac]

yeah, bulldozer didn't really go to plan :/

 

[Princess Garnet]

Yes, really.

I should contemplate buying one of these and putting it through my uses (where two cores is generally enough and IPC means a lot more) and laugh at my Core 2 Duo outdoing it while using like 1/4th the power draw.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm disappointed in the matter, and not in a disgusted way, but a concerned way (no, not for sake of AMD going out of business, but more for things regarding the enthusiast market; stagnation could mean price gouging from Intel, and speaking of which, here comes LGA 2011 as we speak!).

As far as I'm concerned the enthusiast market is now a monopoly. Which is bad because Intel is already sandbagging their chips and disabling overclocking on most of their market.

No competition is making it a field day for the boys in blue.

Wow.

 

[dhenzjhen]

That's why I am not really bothered about BD because I've seen how interlagos performed.

FAILED AGAIN!!!

AMD also shared with us that Windows 7 isn't really all that optimized for Bulldozer.

Is the OS REALLY a factor?

Sounds like an excuse.

Bulldozer, you're a flop.

 

[Diabolical999]

Yes, no point upgrading from Phenom II to Dullbozer.

This.

First it was all released benchmarks prior to the NDA being lifted are not representative of Bulldozer.

Now a windows excuse......

Something is wrong here.

At least it breaks world record = 8429.38MHz =

Isn't this all about "effin" 8 CORES BULLDOZER!!!!
