All we know about Bulldozer, is it's years in the making, is a new architecture, comes in different flavours, and is AMD.

Definite info or proof of what it tastes like or your point is not valid![]()
I m really looking forward to it.
I would like an upgrade, but I would hate my self for 'upgrading' from a 4 core C2Q to a 4 core 2500k.... even if it is better performance I would be disapointed.
An upgrade should be next gen. Next gen for me from a 4 core C2Q is an 8 core cpu....
Thats leaves the 2600k or a BD..... which one will offer a better price/performance?
Hopefully the BD.
On the subject of cores, as I understand it not all the 8 cores on the 2600k are equal. 4 of them are cores the others are just simply hyperthread cores.
On the BD chips are all 8 cores of equal power?

DragonQ, you are propably right. And if building purely gaming PC i5 2500K would still be very competative as only few of the games supports over 4 cores (any?). However in the future things might be different but then again Intel also will bring 8 core cpus someday.. Uh this race seems neverending.

4120 & 6120 come later. Everything else in August, apparently![]()
Interesting, Anyone know if the TDP rating only effects Turbo, or if manual overclocking can exceed this?
And thanks Emlyn we can now start on discussing what is and what isnt a pointless discussion, so I'll free some time up in my diary.
If you put more Vcore into it and clock it, TDP will raise?
It looks like the quad core Bulldozer CPUs will have the fastest cores as they have the most L3 cache per core. 12MB is a lot of cache.
No.Anyone got any info on the integration of DDR4 into BD? Like if it will happen?
Depends if the company will update the bios on the board.Also (not been on here much for a while), do we know for sure yet if it will work in 890 chipset boards?
Presumably, yes.so what do "P" stand for for unlock multiplier i guess ?
