Bulldozer does pretty well in high res gaming environment. On par with i7. Thing is, other productivity, video decoding, etc benchmark isnt so important to me, since i consider the work done pretty fast and not too slow. I dont do videos, so i cant comment. I can say then bulldozer will be awesome in high res gaming, but the problem of price comes into play. I think its just to expensive for a hardware that does one thing extremely good and others mediocre. Intel on the other hand produces products that are priced the same but does everything very well. Unless I see bulldozer dropping to RM600+, i wont consider an upgrade or AMD.

Have you seen tho, how BD perform under linux environment. Its pretty impressive some of the benchmarks. It gives a view of what happens when better optimisation is done. A window to what windows 8 would be....hopefully!
