If "around the corner" is "6 months away", then yes.

Bulldozer has been "around the corner" for ages now.

Because they've been jumping their own deadlines for ages now, in fact from 2007.

Anyone wanna give me their opinion on whether or not prices of used i7 970s are going to drop, and if so, what price is a decent price? Am I correct think that a 4GHZ i7 970 beats a 5Ghz i7 2600K if multi tasking is used?

Also, is it completely not worth it? I will be using a few virtual machines and as many as 6 not very demanding games at the same time. I just bought 24GB for multitasking etc as well (and perhaps sometimes have fun with RAMDisks)

I definitely agree with that.

Just like intel, but probably for different reasons.

I can't think of an Intel architecture that shot off its target release by 3~4 years.

Larabbee is dead. Doesn't fit into this argument.

No, it's not.

That's why I said they had different reasons.

It will never be released so that is "dead" the way I see it. But maybe we are perceiving "dead" to mean different things. If you are making the loose interpretation to mean its technology will live on in other more advanced versions then I guess I could see that. :confused:
