JF-AMD can i ask something and i understand its all going to be under NDA but can you at least say if BD is going to be any good/worth the wait.
He won't be able to say.

Do you honestly think the poor guy would just say nah sod it, go to Intel anyway even if it turned out to be a total flop. Unless he's been headhunted by Intels marketing team I dont think he could give you a definite answer.
Poss the lack of a reply might say something.
The way i think is if it was good they would be shouting it from the roof tops.
SB was leaked ages before release and look how thats turned out
To be honest I like the way how Intel are announcing and leaking IvyBridge stuff at the moment (Do they know more about BD than we do? and are trying to use terms like 3D to take a little bit of light off AMD?) and am taking the lack of info coming out of AMD as AMD's usual business practice of being quiet about things until launch(ish) time.

To be honest, with most people buying sandy bridge systems earlier in the year, I think they're giving themselves a bit of time so they can sell them for a bit cheaper to a wider range of people.
However, Intel are going to use the lack of information given out about BD to their advantage by pretty much saying "what another few months and you can get THIS".
That's my take on it.

Fud are suggesting the 8 core fx desktop AMD chip will only just catch up with the 2600k
Im itching for a 2600k+Z68 mobo kit and Vertex SSD Be a lot better to wait for a better graphics card this fall imo.
It's not looking promising is it..
With this whole "Module" thing, it could possible be only as fast as a Phenom II 2 per clock :S
Shame my 2500k is in the cupboard =/
Would like to see how Bulldozer stacks up against Ivy Bridge.
Am not taking the not shouting it from the roof tops as an admission its disappointing, if he did start shouting it did this and that and it left Intels latest offerings lagging, we would just turn around and ask for proof which he wouldn't be able to give us at the minute anyway, so its kind of a no win situation at the min for him at this time anyway.
Like Cat said we can make up our own minds anyway after release, and I wasn't having a go at JF, i was just pointing out hes kind of in an impossible situation to be asked the question should we wait or go to Intel, (for the sake of a few weeks am waiting anyway).
