AMD Bulldozer Finally!

[Martini1991]

No way can a B0 stepping get 6 GHz if they are delaying due to their chips not being able to clock high enough.

B0 was unstable.
B1 was stable but couldn't clock.
B2 is both.

Mmmmm 60-90 days and 6ghz on LN2...... Whens the Sandy-E out?

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Oh sorry, missed the LN2 bit.

So maybe the chips are hotter than Sandy Bridge and that's why they apparently don't overclock as well?

According to Anandtech the B1 stepping seems to run fine at 3.8GHZ, but if it exceeds the targeted TDP it would need further tweaking and this could explain the delay.

*EDIT*Who are ATI?

 

[ng93]

It's on Liquid Nitrogen ... Thuban goes well north of 6Ghz on LN2. So yes it is perfectly plausible.

How large a market segment is the on-LN2-max-overclock crowd of enthusiasts? 0.01% of overclockers?

and overclockers are probably about 1% of the total market if that

Who are ATI?

the only good thing about amd.

Where is ATI?

So, they're not around anymore?

Absolutly disgusted with AMD! I mean what am I going to do gaming wise, I've only got a 1090T that can't play any games.

I don't know why most people moan, not as if they don't already have good CPU's / systems already I'll buy bulldozer whenever it comes out, next month - whatever.

 

[kieves1]

amd sucks at making cpu's & they would suck at making gpu's too but good thing Ati makes them not amd.

I needed a new sig so thank you

Bulldozer will be out when its out.Just have to wait a bit longer

coulld a moderator change the title from:

"AMD Bulldozer Finally! 25 Day Countdown!"
TO:
"AMD Bulldozer Finally! 30-60 Day Countdown!"

Fixed.

Schedules it for "late summer"

During its big conference at Computex, AMD officially broke the news that the Bulldozer is delayed to "late summer".

Although the new 9 Series chipset is now officially announced, it looks like that FX Series, codename Zambezi CPUs based on the Bulldozer architecture will have to wait a bit. AMD didn't provide the official date but just rather said that the FX Series is coming in "late summer", which means that it might arrive in late July or even in August.

In case you somehow managed to miss it, the FX Series is made in 32nm and will be available in 4-, 6- and 8-core flavors. It is made for AMD's latest AMD 9-series AM3+ chipsets, but will also work on some AM3 motherboards as well, without AMD's blessing of course.

So it's true then..

Why don't ATI make CPU's?

 

[as905]

Why don't ATI make CPU's?

probably for the same reason why Nvidia dont make them.

 

[Martini1991]

I'm going to stop trolling you now.
It's too painful to watch.

So it's true then..

I want to support AMD, but they are making it hard for me to do so, at least in the CPU division.

We'll see what happens in 60-90 days.
But if it doesn't come out, or it's a flop, I'm done.

I seriously can't fathom waiting another 3 months.
