Bit worried about the performance, FX-8 good old CPU is like 2600K only,

A8 APU also much uncompatitive?

Hope to see more

AMD's Bulldozer May Only Due in September

what is DNF stand for?

Looks like Bulldozer is delayed and production will begin by August and on sale by September only. link 

AMD Confirms FX Pricing: Mid-$300 for an 8-Core Processor

The price of a FX-8130P is confirmed to be at $320 or about +- RM1000. Comes in a nice packaging as well. 

More.


Wait..? Lose Phenom II x6 1055T? 

Yep.
26s for single threaded in SuperPI.


Looks like the sample got some problems. 
Unstable and Performance does not proportional to clock.

Ultrabook is the concept that comes along with Ivy Bridge and it is set to be launched around April next year. Most probably AMD can't deliver the performance that you seek if your work is very CPU intensive but I don't see the harm trying out Llano anyways.

Lets just say that the price of the A8 is RM2100, add in a 120GB 3rd gen SSD which should amount to ~3k and you have a solid laptop for just about anything. IMHO a SSD has better noticeable performance gain in terms of system responsiveness than an upgrade to a better CPU.

Yes, generally SSD gives you the most significant performance boost. A known fact.

We do not know how ultra portable Llano is. And what are the models available for Malaysian market. 12"? 13.3"? 14"?
MYR2100? I'd consider an Acer 3820TG or 4830TG instead. I reckon it is approx MYR3000 too (+ an SSD, of course).
Balance performance of both CPU and GPU.

Time to put some GDDR5 sideport memory on it. 
Or recommend performance RAM for the users?

Exactly... Some more the price is at rm900+ for FX-8150! Wtf man. Intel ownage liao!

The difference is Nvidia have the performance with a larger more power hungry chip, it beat ATI completely. But here.... AMD, they are neither. Big for nothing. the 16MB cache is a waste of money.

They should have take Phenom II X4/X6 and tweak it, shrink it down to 32nm for higher frequency or add two more cores to become X8 using the smaller 32nm tech. All these can easily finish SB 1155 in multitask area better than the stupid BD now. And the R&D is also much cheaper, because u take an old chip and tweak it.

The only last hope they have is like what Anandtech said, to repeat the success of Pentium 4 northwood. pentium 4 northwood does beat the AthlonXP by seer amount of extra GHz without hitting the power consumption too much. It actually fix what Willamate Pentium 4 cant do. Not until Prescott Pentium 4, Intel just broke their own arm by increasing the pipeline further in Prescott. Infact Intel manage to increase the pipeline of Prescott without sacrificing the IPC, but unfortunately they ignore the heat and power wall they gonna hit when they reach 3.8GHz. In this case they have to rely on the mature 32nm global foundry tech or may be even smaller to archive it.

BD should have clock @ 4GHz+ not 3.6GHz. If they have release BD 1000MHz extra @ 125w TDP from now. nobody will have complain.
