AMD Bulldozer Finally!

Saying that though, Windows tries to spread threads across all cores I think, so with a BD core, what it should be trying to do is load all the threads onto one core as long as it's not running anywhere near 100%.

I think that overkill load balancing was more of an issue with Windows XP and Vista; 7 is supposed to do more like you suggest. Though looking at my laptop in idle, it's got little spikes in both CPU graphs, so could be wrong :(
 
The title of this thread is really getting on my nerves now....

cant it be changed to something like 'Official AMD Bulldozer Discussion Thread'......
 
HaHa!!!...here he is, the man we will all think is either a genius or a complete doofuss who crushed expectations in a month or so's time...:D

It's not the best timed release though you have to admit. Not for a chip which we speculate will be around Sandybridge level and perhaps better in some threaded areas.
 
It is more important to get it right and slip on the schedule instead of having a flop like SB mobos had with the first rev.

If it's competitive it won't really matter when they release it, as long as it has something to compete with at the time.

It would be a waste of 6 years hard work if it was a fail at launch lol :)
 
I don't think BD will ever come out in it's current form, they'll rehash it to coincide with the release of DDR4 on a new socket and decimate the world with it. By 2013 AMD's market share will be up to 99.999%. Just you wait and see.
