Guys looking to watercool and thinking it may be worth waiting for this chipset, but does anyone know when its due or what the precise benefits are?

Many thanks in advance..

I was originally going to get one of these till they were delayed till April, HOWEVER, they have confirmed bulldozer support as far as I know.

Hmmmm, so should I wait! lol

Will Bulldozer run on the current gen?

I'm waiting till the 890 chipset's comes out then make the switch from my intel c2d rig to amd.. Don't like the upgrade path's for the i5/i7/i9 chips i.e to much money and yes i know they have hyperthreading. But i just game with some not a lot of encoding. I'll wait till amd brings out hexcore's i read somewhere that they will be around £250-£300, is this correct?. Then i will spend the money i save for a better gfx card.
