AMD Bulldozer Finally!

124a58p.jpg


Release next week is 100% confirmed.
 
i wonder what kind of improvements piledriver and steamroller (or whatever crappy name next gen BD is called, i forget) will bring. they can't increase the clock speed much higher than it is so IPC will be the key. does anyone know what is currently limiting BD's IPC? (i know this may be a tough question to ask before it's even been released). could it be insufficient cache? etc etc
 
Not checked this thread in a while so would anyone be so kind as to give me a recap on what's been happening over the last few weeks with BD?
 
I've been thinking of upgrading to SB but I've held off because of AMD, I'd go for the 8120 but that depends on how much better it is compared to a 2500k.

Last time I had a AMD it was an Operton 144.

I'm not sure if the 8120 is going to be as good as the 2500k, at stock.
Also, don't forget that the the 2500k is a fantastic overclocker and it is highly unlikely that the AMD Bulldozer 8120 will overclock anywhere as well as the 2500k.
We shall find out the benchmarks in a few days anyway.
