u guys will know it 1st if it's available. so far no shop carry that cooler yet... 

btw, something just arrived... 

those waiting for BD,

Bulldozer 50% Faster than Core i7 and Phenom II
Here, take some salt. AMD reportedly gave out performance figures in a presentation to its partners, performance figures seen by DonanimHaber. It is reported that an 8-core processor based on the "Bulldozer" high-performance CPU architecture is pitched by its makers to have 50% higher performance than existing processors such as the Core i7 950 (4 cores, 8 threads), and Phenom II X6 1100T (6 cores). Very little is known about the processor, including at what clock speed the processor was running at, much less what other components were driving the test machine.

Taking this information into account, the said Bulldozer based processor should synthetically even outperform Core i7 980X six-core, Intel's fastest desktop processor in the market. Built from ground-up, the Bulldozer architecture focuses on greater inter-core communication and reconfigured ALU/FPU to achieve higher instructions per clock cycle (IPC) compared to the previous generation K10.5, on which its current Phenom II series processors are based. The processor is backed by new 9-series core logic, and a new AM3+ socket. AMD is expected to unveil this platform a little later this year.

@cloudwan

outperform 980x? for real? so how much will be the price then? not going to be cheap.. funding now

sounds promising. but wonder this is  true..

all we have to do is wait

is am2+ support BD? just asking..
cuz got ppl said that the IMC, the prob that AMD cant go far in ram clocking is because the IMC got both ddr2 and ddr3.

Hahahaha take it with a grain of salt bro, as long as the cpu isn't out and done benchies by tester worldwide i won't take the news wholeheartedly yet..
The price depends on the performance i think, if let say the performance is around 90% of intel's new replacement LGA2011 i think it will price itself accordingly below it i think..

Just to clarify a few things is that BD won't be able to be use on AM2+, only on AM3+, AM3 cpu's can be use on AM3+ mobo but not vice versa
From where i see it is that they gotta scrap the DDR2 support to let them use a better IMC on the new chips and let them support officially dual channel DDR3 1866mhz..
I hope by then my DDR3 2000mhz can at last be fully use lah, that's if i still have the moolah & heart to upgrade somemore

ya loh.. fogot that BD only on am3+.. been reading confusing articles...so that details like that also been twisted..

1866mhz support by AMD..means a divider or what? if a new divider, wow.. if only supported by OC..not a wow since most motherboards already stated DDR2000 support on most 8series mobo..kekeke

btw..still very early to figure things out.

Hahahaha, actually 1866mhz is a standard set by JEDEC, according to them DDR3 standard are 800mhz, 1066mhz, 1333mhz, 1600mhz, 1866mhz & 2133mhz
I believe it will be on a new divider..

Wikipedia

Gosh. I thought BD only got 8 cores CPU. but it actually got 4/ 6/ 8 core in total l n it's 32nm.

most likely to have anew divider.. this will take ram oc another step forward..but im sure wont as good as intel tho
if got x2.. i will buy it..kekekek

imma cheapskate 

would BD surpass Phenom II juz like SB did on i7?
can't wait for review. but wouldnt chg until 22nm?  I'm an cheapskates. too

maybe will have unlocking again
imma cheapskate too
but i doubt that will have unlocking again...

Added on January 13, 2011, 11:29 pmOT: i see a lot of butthurt inhell fans with the news

i still can't get past d 4.0GHz mark, it makes me extremely depressed 

is it possible wif vcore lower than 1.5v? currently around 1.45~1.488v, multi @18 x 220MHz

i only use 3.6 ghz for daily use

wont see much difference

how good intel is, i'm sure getting more interested in AMD. cause the community here is more interesting than intel. wkkwkkwk

1~2fps diff in gaming wor, who knows if go pass 4.0GHz can get another 1fps?  :/P

i guess i have to live wif my current speed... *sigh*

btw, i very the jeles wif those who get to pass it  </_<
