Yo bro, what did I say
?
Over 90 days ago, AMD said "60-90 days" till we could buy it.

?For something to be delayed, it has to have an announced release date to begin with. There was never an announced release date, therefore nothing has been delayed

Ok, im about to jump into the Sandy Bridge train, i cant wait anymore... but i wonder if a i5 2500k would work me for a few years from now (2-3 years), that was one of the reasons i was waiting for bulldozer, high power 8-core, but i cant wait anymore...
i have the moneyo for the upgrade since a month ago (gotta pay some bills...) so its not THAT BAD...
so back on the question, do you guys believe that an i5 2500k would be good for another 2-3 years from now ? obvisouly, its for gaming

In the same way that a Q6600 is still alright now, yes. Faster CPUs will emerge but it whatever you have won't stop working (baring failure obs
)Without question

And months ago, when there was delay talk, I'm sure AMD came out and said there wasn't one and they were set for launch in H1 I think it was? Then they announced 60-90 days till launch, the day it had been touted for release.

Intel have SB-E coming out on their enthusiast platform. And IvyBridge next year.
Although, why is that a reason for delay? If anything AMD need BD out before SB-E.
but they didn't give a official "date" i.e October 17th. which normally they do.

No, they gave a window, they had 30 days leverage, and still missed launch. They then hinted September to the E-tailors, and missed that. Some staff were adamant on mid September.
And I've never really known an official date to actually been announced.
More like leaked/assumed/hinted at.
thats what i mean so technical it's not a delay because there've never been a official date ..

You're arguing semantics.
They said 60-90 days to launch, and missed it. Ergo delay.
Back in H1 they said they were on schedule to launch it in H1, they never, ergo delay.
They practically told the E-tailors that it'd be Mid-September, it won't be, ergo delay.
But you don't see it from that point, so fair enough.
But what's not official about AMD, at computex saying "60-90 days till launch"?
And by what you've bolded, I mean about any GPU/CPU product, not BD specifically.
EDIT : Mods have changed the title.
I'm going to assume, they were left thinking it was to be September, which is why they put a date, as I'm sure VK probably went to OCUK (I'm guessing).
But they're now aware of the delay.
Whatever way you look at it, unless it's always been AMD's plan to release October 2011. It's a delay.

Hi Martini, have you got a source for the above statement. I know you posted a slide which was really meaningless because of lack of context. But if the above statement was made by AMD then there can be no arguments. I just cant find any information in-regards to AMD making such an official statement. The statement you have made is a "factual" one, a source should not be a problem.
Maybe, as I already said, I have missed the relevant parts due to the length of this thread.
Edit: Just out of interest is all what your saying based on that one slide?

It was that slide.
The context was their scheduling of launch from the date of the talk.
We had the 990FX boards (Which we have) and the Llano platform (Which came out after)
That was AMD's slide, during their talk at Computex. What's more official?
The whole "Official lark" doesn't make sense to me. From the horses mouth, be that AMD should make something official. And that slide WAS from AMD.
You can argue "But it's not official" till you're blue in the face, or "Where's your source". Point is, it's not here yet, you're still left in the dark.

There's the actual conference ^^, go to 14 minutes on it.
From the horses mouth bro'.

What business tactics? They have nothing at all to counter Intels current offerings, let alone their future products.
They need to get stuff out.

Just look at the benchmarks?
AMD's current stuff gets slaughtered, ANYONE will tell you this.
Intel have SB-E launching later this year, and IvyBridge next year.
AMD barely compete IPC wise with Yorkfield.
Given I've built a shed ton of AMD systems, I'm not biased. It's just the current playing field.

Which benchmarks?
Games or transcoding?
