Have you guys seen this?
AMD Cancels Next-Gen Komodo Processor, Corona Platform in Favour of New Chips.
AMD's Readies Vishera CPUs, Volan Platform as Next-Gen Desktop

So Socket AM3+ lives on in 2012 with nice super fast Piledriver 8 and 10 Core CPU's... Good move AMD IMO.

bummer... I was actually hoping for a FM2 PD release around summer 2012. :banghead:

I hope AMD sticks with AM3+ at least for another CPU generation; I wouldn't want to buy an AM3+ PD setup only to find out that it's the end of the upgrade path.

So Vishera is AM3+ PD and Komodo was FM2 PD then. I had those two mixed up.

Well I think you are right, by the end of Q4 2012, that is when I think AMD is going to move to Socket FM2.
I can see why AMD chose to stick with Socket AM3+ for the remaining 2012, if people knew about then dumping AM3+ they would have had bad Bulldozer sales IMO.

i think AMD will stick to AM sockets for a little longer than that.

llano is more of a power efficient, compact kind. the AM processors pack the real punch.

Fear, uncertainty and doubt, frequently abbreviated as FUD, is a tactic used in sales, marketing, public relations,[1][2] politics and propaganda. FUD is generally a strategic attempt to influence public perception by disseminating negative and dubious/false information designed to undermine the credibility of their beliefs. An individual firm, for example, might use FUD to invite unfavorable opinions and speculation about a competitor's product; to increase the general estimation of switching costs among current customers; or to maintain leverage over a current business partner who could potentially become a rival.

The term originated to describe disinformation tactics in the computer hardware industry and has since been used more broadly.[3] FUD is a manifestation of the appeal to fear.

In general - it SUCKS. :laugh:

BTW: this is the last day of September - less then 2 weeks & Dozer is out; October 12 - this is the release date still, is it? :toast:

It freaking better be. I just bought a 990FX mobo and if I don't get BD I'll be :mad:

next step

and then

and will be forced to buy an i7 2600k which i'll finally :respect:

to Intel after i'm done :rockout:

to my new cpu.

GloFo 32nm yield issues

The low yields at GloFo are most likely what has been delaying BD.

There was an article on it 3 weeks ago @ semi-accurate (forget about the title, probably refers to server part):
http://semiaccurate.com/2011/09/07/bulldozer-finally-shipped-last-week/

...If you want to look at it the simple way, on average, each wafer will yield X Llanos or Y Bulldozers. On average, each Llano will sell for $A, and each Bulldozer will sell for $B. Assuming that AMD will be able to sell everything they make, likely at this point, so the math is simple. If X * A is bigger than Y * B, make more Llanos. If X * A is smaller, make more Bulldozers. Yield improvements, customer bitching, and many other things come in to play to influence the split, but the gross calculation is simple. You run the one that makes the most money in the end...

So, Llanos have been selling like hotcakes, so they prioritize Llano production over BD, and delay BD release.

I'm still with rig listed in my sys specs, nothing changed; will wait for TPU (or few more tech sites) to cover/review FX-8150, get rest of the planned setup (Sabertooth 990FX, 2x4GB DDR3 1600, AX1200W) & live happily with what it gives in apps i have (games, Photoshop, etc...); job opportunity still missing, but i still search for anything Web designing & stuff. Seeya in October 12. :toast:

P.S. If there's someone @ AMD that plays Carmageddon 1 & 2, the complete lineup of CPUs should read like this (i exclude the years): Bulldozer, Piledriver, Plow Mk. 4, Semi, Dump Truck, DaPanzer (TDR 2000) & Suppressor. jk (Unless they'll actually call 'em like that. :roll:

)

Goodman · Sep 30, 2011

Are we going to have Bulldozer before the year end?

Meanwhile, AMD's server processor codenamed Interlagos will also have difficulty shipping on schedule and is expected to be delayed to November

http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20110930PD207.html

I hope it was a typo & meant October not November...?

TRWOV · Sep 30, 2011

Wait, didn't Interlagos shipped already? :confused:

EDIT: It did.
http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=151727

Maybe the digitimes article refers to a second batch or availability in China.

Bulldozer is still on schedule for October 12, 2011. BD does not have yield issues, and it would be nice if Global Foundries get's that 32nm out the bloody door in good time.

When to expect the review? October 11? 12? Hope they (AMD) will release all models in one shot: BANG & quadie, hex & octo-cored monstrosities out. Also October 8th Serious Sam 3 is out if i'm correct, so twice the fun - both OpenGL benchmark of game & FX-8150 among the others (FX-4xxx/6xxx/etc...). Month of great releases, thanx.

Super XP · Oct 1, 2011

In my honest opinion, this is the reasoning why Bulldozer was pushed back by more than a month (Release Date: Oct. 12, 2011 - Bloody F'ing Finally).

1) 32nm Issues. (No issues with the Bulldozer Design)
2) AMD delayed the release for 30+ days to ensure there's enough stock for retailers/etailers.
3) Apple is sucking back a lot of the 32nm and AMD/NV are taking it from behind.
4) None of the above...
5) All of the above...
6) Only answers 1) & 2) are correct...

Now hurry up AMD, my ASUS Crosshair V Formula (ROG) masterpiece is looking for some Bulldozer Blood.....

Not sure if it's a legit benchmark. Anyhow if it is, then Bulldozer looks very good. What I am looking for is for Bulldozer to blow away the Phenom II's by at least 30% to 50%. Anyway we can also look forward to Piledriver (Bulldozer II) via Socket AM3+ (We Hoping)...

I assume this was benched without Turbo Core enabled... Still Synthetic Benchmarks mean Jack, what we need is Real World Performance, something AMD claimed that is where Bulldozer's strength is at.

Inceptor · Oct 1, 2011

Well, that benchmark puts it right where everyone thinks it will fall, in between the 2600k and 2500k, in synthetic benchmarks.
But no information on the chip, which suggest to me it was an engineering sample. There's no reason for Passmark to have a retail sku.

Nesters · Oct 1, 2011

Benchmarks on that site can be published by anyone who uses the suite and the score is average of all uploaded results (there's only one FX-8150 tho).

What revision is it? B2? Or ES (B0)? Someone needs to roll out B2 (or better yet C0) results. If rev. B2 CPU turns out slightly better than 2600K - ace; but if rev. C0 comes - say - few weeks after rev. B2 - better wait for rev. C0. :toast:

I would have wanted this to beat the 2600k, but I have to admit that I'm impressed it even gets this close in the first place, since it had a big ground to cover

Seriously why would AMD even consider releasing a product the performs worse than it's last generation?

Do people think AMD wants to commit corporate suicide? :laugh:

lol I think he was just mad and didn't read into it with a clear mind. That happens a lot in the US. :laugh:

I will buy one bulldozer most likely. I buy something from every company's generation just to see how it compares but there is no way that I expect it to compete with Intel's higher offerings. I just hope it will have something unique to offer. Either features or price per performance. Or even performance per watt. Just don't count on it being the "Smarter Choice". I always thought it was rather arrogant marketing that would insist "Smarter Choice", like buying Intel is a bad buy.

eidairaman1 · Oct 2, 2011

erm i suppose, tbh i dont care if its not any faster than wut intel has, it suits my requirements for a good machine. I just know for my bros machine the last AM3+ Bulldozer or w/e its called will be dropped into it to replace the BE 555 Unlocked to 955, n max the ram out
