AMD to Sample Bulldozer Architecture in 2010, Sets Product Priorities

[a_ump]

so yea, bulldozer "sounds" awesome but so did phenom before release. But ima give AMD the benefit of the doubt, i have high expectations and think AMD will deliver with bulldozer. Also, did anyone else read that Anandtech article bout bulldozer's implementation of Multi-threading? From what i got amd is going to use a better method than what intel's HTT but its going to cost die space.

AMD has no choice. Bulldozer has to be successful or they are done. Stock price would tumble if Bulldozer is not revolutionary. Just looking at its core design (AMD still holding off on showing other details about the design) this thing is going to be a multi-threading monster and soon enough AMD will integrate a GPU with the Bulldozer which will make it even faster & efficient.

The key here is Bulldozer needs to be much better than when AMD released Hammer and slapped Intel’s Pentium line of CPU’s.

i have a feeling the first implementation of Fusion will wipe the floor with the Clarkdale as of FPU performance. AMD is currently testing a new metal for the 2011 and beyond nodes

Can't wait for 2011, should be a great year for a new PC gaming build. By then we should have Crysis 3, Left 4 Dead 3 and

perhaps better code for such games. I just hope this year is great all around

2010 looks like a tricky year because both amd and intel don't have much showings. Even Intel seems quiet. It looks like both companies are working hard to ensure proper execution of there new CPU designs coming in q1 2011 Right now I say lets enjoy gaming the way it was meant to be played
