What a shame, I was really hoping for some healthy competition in the CPU market. Intel has pretty much had the upper hand ever since Core 2's in 2006.
wow, what a dissapointment. All the leaked benchmarks put the writing on the wall; I guess I was really hopeing for AMD to pull a rabbit out of the hat.
Huge dissapointment. I have supported AMD since my old athlon2400 but maybe its time for a change but my 4Ghz Phenom ii x4 may see me out this generation and if not theres still hope for AMD's next processor socket improving on this like phenom 1 am2+ to phenom ii am3.
Well, I was hoping in the spirit of supporting the underdog that AMD would be able to pull it out of the fire again like they did with the K6 and original FX chips. I'm disappointed, but I'm glad I waited for reviews before making my final choice.
tbh, the divebomb isn't a great surprise. Tis a shame tho, I was hoping for Bulldozer to be half decent so Intel might drop their LGA1155 prices a little.
Well that was pretty disappointing. Nice write up guys, makes for an interesting read, it's just a shame about the price/performance of it. Makes me happy I splashed out for my i5-2500k rig back in Jan though.
The Shogun benchmark was a particular highlight for me, it actually made me laugh out loud.
Oh noes, disappointing to say the least. I really wish they could at least give Intel a run for their money on some level so as to benefit us as consumers.
AMD simply doesnt have the money or resources to go up against Intel and build a processor for 2 markets (home and server). Its a shame but good on BitTech for being honest. But from the perspective of someone working in a Swedish University IT dept, I am sure my colleagues who source and update the servers here will be looking out to update their Opts soon enough.
I purchased a 2500k setup two days ago and had it running yesterday. Was a bit concerned that AMD would really come around this time and make something great but alas. I am happy with my 2500k.
I like the horrendously negative conclusions coupled with the poor but not altogether terrible score. Jeez, what does a processor have to do to get a 5/10 or less, kill your mother or something?
I find myself wondering why AMD bothered to release this at all. I am reminded of the original Phenom launch, where pretty much everything across the board was late to the party and stil failed to compete.

ReplyIvy Bridge here I come I guess.
You have to say that 8 times. One for each core.
Two words that fit this CPU perfectly...
"Bull" and "Dozer"

oh and "which in understandable on one hand" first page.
Now I think it's time to buy that 2500K
Damn shame.
