I am not under NDA. My sources, and information at my disposal back the October 12 date that has been floating around the internet.

So the 12th is the TPU approved date?

No, it's the btarunr approved date.

I'll trust you, and look forward to the 12th then.

Haha, my local PC shot is expecting Bulldozer shipments within the 1st week of October. He also told me to keep it hush hush

As for prices, he wouldn't tell me, except that his head office will deside.

AMD Announces Preliminary Third Quarter Results (courtsey of btarunr)
AMD Shares Plunged: What You Need to Know (courtesy of twilth)

It's confirmed, AMD has serious issues with 32nm causing a 14% drop in shares upon announcement.

Those who voted for "worrying" got it right. AMD is selling them for cheap because they can't sell them for more (without a significant drop in volume). Wait for Bulldozer II on 22nm.

Probably Initial Stepping, May change for second stepping, but not to worried at all actually.

Global Founderies has issues with producing the 32nm, AMD has no issues with 32nm nor with it's design. Hopefully GF takes there heads out of there aries and starts pumping them out fast...

Like a lot of people have been looking for BD information I see they have a FX-8170 due to come out in Q1 2012. That makes me wonder why this is so? Unless they added it to compete with the upper performing Intel's.

This ^ /thread. AMD FTW!

Damn_Smooth · Oct 7, 2011

Proof of 6Ghz with phase change. In the comments someone claims 6.4 with 100% load on all cores.

OFN.

They already benched 6.5Ghz vantage when they came out with the clockspeed WR. :cool:

I found this too. I hope it's real because this game is what makes me want to upgrade. Does anyone know what the x32 means?

I can't wait to find out max o.c. on air.

Goodman · Oct 7, 2011

All we seen so far are ES Bulldozer can't wait to see the final product revision B2G , B2F or what ever it will be called?

Thanks man, I was drawing a blank there.

Waiting to grab an 8 Core BD chip

, is there even a solid release date confirmed? I'm hearing Oct 12th, but as far as i can tell it's still a rumor.

It is still a rumor but a lot of people that know a lot more than I do are suggesting that this one is true, so I'm going with it.

Super XP · Oct 8, 2011

I don't think AMD will have another cancelled release date, I believe it is going to be October 12, 2011 or the press will kill them. Depending on the price, I am aiming for either a nice AMD FX-4170 or AMD FX-8150. The 8-core version maybe better bang for your $, but you never know, that Quad-Core may hit the sweet spot in $....

Model Cores Threads Frequency Turbo Frequency L3 cache TDP Price
FX-Series FX-6100 6 6 3.3 GHz 3.9 GHz 8 MB 95 Watt $175
FX-Series FX-8120 8 8 3.1 GHz 4 GHz 8 MB 125 $205
FX-Series FX-8150 8 8 3.6 GHz 4.2 GHz 8 MB 125 Watt $245

If this is true, BD is just a big fail. Revolutionary architecture my ass. It has higher clocks, bigger cache and still lags behind Intel. Not to mention SB is almost a year old now. Weak.

That's AMD's fault for not calling them by their true name, "a processor with 4 modules and 8 threads" and not "a processor with 8 cores". They will fool a lot of people (average Joe types), so no worries for sales... the downside is "an 8 core AMD CPU struggling against a 4 core Intel CPU" backlash from the community starting next month.

Actually, they are 2 physical cores per module, so it is an 8 core. You just have angry internet users who can't tell the difference between hyper-threading with virtual cores, and splitting tasks amongst smaller real cores.

@heky Are you just copy and pasting that same phrase in all FX threads?

i spent a good 5 minutes figuring out how to reply to his post, but his attitude is just depressing. he seems like the kind of person that if he was involved in horse racing, he'd shoot his horse in the head if it didnt come first in every race.

@techtard
Yes i am, just to inform people who miss out on stuff.
@Mussels
What really is depressing is seeing you grab on that imaginary string that BD will perform. Well guess what, that is just not gonna happen. Get over it.

SaiZo · Oct 9, 2011

Is this CPU out in the hardware stores yet?

since when did i care? i'm not upgrading to it.

your attitude only makes sense if you intended to buy bulldozer, and you are disapointed because of it... but if its slow as you claim, why do you care? you arent being forced to buy it. just posting shit like "OMG SLOWER THAN INTEL HAHAHAHA" is so... i dont know any other word than retarded.

its like you NEED it to be faster, just so you can buy it and brag to everyone who has last generations fastest, that you have something they dont and now your evil plan is ruined.

heky · Oct 9, 2011

Ever heard of the term competition? If AMD doesnt bring competition to the table, we are all f-ed. I am not braging about anything. I bought Intel becouse at that time it was the bang 4 buck. And seeing AMD perform would just lower the Intel prices too. Thats why i care, becouse it is a dissapointment to wait for so long for a chip that "underdelivers". And with posting in all BD threads i am jut trying to inform people of the newest news.

But i am not stuck on Intel forever, if AMD performs better, i would switch without breaking a sweat!

AMD FX Processor Prices Lower Than Expected

These latest prices...

...are worrying, perhaps AMD is falling behind in performance

...are encouraging, perhaps Sandy Bridge is in for a cost-performance shock a là Radeon HD 4000 to G
