AMD Bulldozer Finally!

Where is Grandmaster (I think that is his name)?
He was so pro-AMD, I couldn't believe it.
He has gone a little quiet?

Is there any point being an obvious troll?

suspended, usually a 48hr ban.

A 955BE will hit 4GHz more oft than not, so you are going to need a 4.5GHz FX4XXX minimum to keep up with an £85 almost 3 year old tech Phenom II.

That's hardly a resounding success...

That sounds pretty bad when you put it that way.

Unfortunately, AMD had to release this CPU, if only so they could start making some money from it. Had they delayed it or tried to develop it further, to make it faster, they would've been increasing costs, while receiving no revenue.

Also, had they delayed the CPU (to develop it further), they would've been up against Ivy Bridge, next year...so the competition will have improved further.

I think AMD made the right decision to release it now.

it's better than being the biggest troll of the forum (drunkenmaster) in disguise

should give him enough time to catch up on his maths homework

Why was he suspended?
Did he throw a hissy fit?
It would've been amusing to see him put a positive spin on the the BD CPU.

Indeed but there is an ignore feature on this forum for a reason

TBH i'm suprised Big wayne isn't back given that the NDA has been lifted now

He did..............................including some outright inaccuracies.

WHAT there is a ignore feature? WHERE????
No seriously where?

Would most of you agree im better off changing my phenom 2 x3 720 with a phenom 2 x6 in my am3 board? (chiv formula)

Yes, or a 955 depending on what you use it for

Grinning from ear to ear SB lads

Haha! Thank you!
You know I was wishing for this kind of feature last night actually!
But better late than never eh!

I can't believe AMD released a CPU that was actually worse than the previous generation. Fabulous.

I can't believe AMD released a CPU that was actually worse than the previous generation. Fabulous.

And over twice the transistor count. Remarkable achievement IMO

But its ok because it has 8 cores even though most things dont use 8, didnt you hear? im sure AMD said it somewhere....

Where's JF-AMD ?

 

[Avathar77]

Now I am not an AMD fan boy, but surely with these kind of said "Improvements" there must be something wrong with the way current software is taking this FX cpus?
Maybe some optimisation in the software side is needed! but that will take time I think.
