Seen the benchmark that utilises all threads? Still below i7 2600K. So I've no idea how a new new design can beat SB-E or IB.

Kinda confuse, does "Bulldozer" processor include graphic chips? like the SB does.

No, but thier APU "Llano" have GPU inside if im correct.

i3 2100 ftw

Really no reason not to get a Sany it seems.

Oh well.

think better go to i7 now...
waste of time waiting for new proc...

waited so long for this bulldozer jst to find there's not so much difference performance with my X6 haish...dissapointed wait, Power consumption chugged alot of watts under full load

I'm using Athlon X2 4200+ ... runs most apps ok but not as fast as I want sometimes sluggish

was hoping bulldozer will be impressive... but its ok AMD try again I will wait for Bulldozer2, should be out early next year right?

I don care about having the fastest, just fast enough to run everything available today @ good price...

hope "AMD the smarter choice" will get back its meaning soon! NEVER INTEL, I will wait AMD just get busy and make a nice chip Ktkxbye

what about the improvements seen in windows 8?

what if bulldozer is not really bad, just that the software needs updates to use the new functions/hardware acceleration/whatever that is in the processor??

theres hope for some recovery?

Demmit... should've gone for the i5 2500K or i7 2600K

Bulldozer actually looks good as it inline to the kind of workloads I do often - lots of integer calculation.


The only disappointment is the power consumption.

i think AMD's heading for entreprise market instead...

hey guys,i really need your opinions..i'm clueless on what to do now,i already have a 990fx board for months now,i dont wanna have to change to sb coz then i'd have to buy a new board as well and thats gonna cost a lot..should i just buy a bulldozer just to complete my setup,or should i just change to intel? its still gonna be an upgrade for me tho,currently using a phenom ii x3 710. -was really hoping bulldozer would blow my mind,but it didnt

I'd stick with Amd Phenom II unless there's a big improvement in gaming on the bulldozer which when it came time to play games the BD FX range was really no better than the Phenom II. Making me to wonder how well is the BD 6100 FX performs against Phenom II X6

well for me if u want save some buck u can stick with bulldozer but not for now because of insane price. Wait a while for the price to drop to level that consider fair compare to US.

Then AMD should've stopped the hype telling people that it's a FX revive.. AMD keep claiming that the performance will be mind blowing..
Yes, is indeed mindblowing, in a different way though.

wait for enhanced bulldozer, i think it will come out by beginning of 2012...



ur CPU is good enough for most things now.. unless u r into very heavy gaming.. just wait

all people blame and curse AMD, not knowing that global foundaries (the fab company amd uses) had serious issues, and bulldozer was one of the victims..

AMD always comes back ...

Just go on with PII and wait for Bulldozer 2 and see how it goes for now

pfft.. u mean just 10% improvement on performance next year? while SB is already 40% more efficient and powerful clock for clock compared to current BD? how many years does it take amd to have a comparable cpu compared to current SB?

AMD, im not impressed.

All the hype, gimmicks...

come on guys....atleast they did a new chip....dont need to marah2 to amd....they're working hard...lets just wait for the new gen to come out..but i think i'll just wait for the BD to price drop then i'll buy it...been waiting for long time...
