AMD Bulldozer Finally!

AMD have not official confirmed anything at all.
I gave up and got a i7 2600K clocked at 4.7ghz
Why the frown face?
The Shareholders quarterly conference call is about as official as it gets to be honest.
An announcement to us is worth sod all, an announcement to the folks who put the money into the company in investments etc is likely quite important. Deviation from a Quarterly report instills worry to say the least, so dont think they would have brought it up if they werent pretty sure they would meet this self imposed deadline.

Sorry I said on sale in August in previous post, its ships for revenue in August, which I'm taking as shipping to OEMs and suppliers etc.

I spotted the news yesterday from tomshardware finland where amd also said that the new 28nm gpus and Interlagos-platform will be ready before the end of 2011.
Well I was holding out for BD in the hope that AMD would have something to compete in a reasonable timeframe.
In the end I couldn't wait any longer, the i7 is a fantastic chip, especially at 4.7Ghz with hyperthreading switched on, will do for probably a good two years.
Just a shame from my perspective that AMD couldn't get BD to market quicker.
I still hope it is a formidable chip for those that do and can wait
Now I am awaiting for the ATi 7xxx GPU
what does that have to do with Bulldozer?
Upcoming Interlagos 16- core server platform is based on the Bulldozer.
Sorry didnt meant to upset anyone.

AMD delayed to relase BD until Sept and then top of the range will be release from 2012 and i think there may some more new CPU during into 2012...
Sorry, I should have read that back before posting it. I didn't mean that to come across as badly as it did. Thank you for the information.

Just thought I'd clarify this slightly, the quote from AMD is initial production will SHIP next month, not START. Basically it means the initial chips being made will ship next month, chips take circa 6 weeks to make, meaning production likely started 6-8 weeks ago as you rarely start shipping chips one wafer at a time, you build up 1-2 months production then release so some volume actually gets around.
So if the first shipments are leaving the warehouses for oems/distro's production at the very worst would have started a couple weeks ago, but probably add another month of production on top and that so they get some real quantity out the door.
If its shipping I'm 99% sure it will also launch and be available pretty damn quickly.

I know when my work will have stock of them but were all under NDA on it but i can say The Drunkenmaster aint wrong
I thought that even revealing that you are under NDA (or that an NDA exists) constitutes breaking the NDA. Since the damage is already done ... Spill!

Taiwanese Motherboard manufacturers have leaked details of AMD’s Upcoming Bulldozer CPU’s and Release Date. According to them, AMD will start Mass Production of B2 chips in August and the processors will officially launch in September (Q3 2011). A recent cinematic trailer has also exposed Bulldozer Launch Date of 19th September 2011 which you can see here in the bottom left hand corner.
