not handicapped. all but 2 of dx11.1 extensions are supported. those 2 arent required for games. therefore no ms certification.

I played the hell out of this!

yes it would show how crappy consoles really are!:roll:

red box bluray $1.50 and rip em. no contest!

You follow the money. 90% of people can barely operate a computer, click on browser,read email. im someone and post on your wall, play flash game or twitter some crap. They dont even use the potential of their pc. Why would they need more? answer they don't.

they dont need the enthusiast market. they need more of the server market. we all love our custom desktops. we are a dying breed. smart phones and tablets and laptops are profitable. Its like fast food, people love it. servers are the workhorses with high margins. just look at consoles.The...

llano is the direction AMD is going. trinity is the next step. bulldozer is module for a reason. desktop is not profitable for amd in performance or enthusiast. Amd knows what will sell in their target demograph. llano is selling. interlagos will sell. bulldozer is the red headed step child.

fx bulldozer is merely a pipe cleaner cpu for future trinty apu. fx=k overclocking capable. christ they will probably release trinity b4 bulldozer. Its like fermi with nvidia. release than tweak. next node competitive. IT IS A SERVER BASED CPU!

It wasn't designed to compete in mainstream. It was designed for server. This is their goal. That is where amd needs to be judged. Did they succeed at its intended application? we dont know because we dont have those figures on performance.

If prices are correct. It make sense for bulldozer to be lower. Due to the fact they already have llano covering mobile and budget desktop. AMD would price themselves out of the performance desktop market with oems. I would think their strategy is to sell oems a complete platform with a...

you wont want to play bf3 on that cpu. you will be dissapointed. look the specs up and you need vista or better no xp. dx10 is the lowest it runs so if you have that cpu I will assume you wont meet minimum requirements for an enjoyable gaming experience. its frostbite 2.0. new engine revision...

not in all games. a strong 4 core is becoming the norm. going to an i7 920 was a big improvement especially in minimum fps games. 1920x1200 first game game i realized i needed a a 4 core with a high ipc was supreme commander. That was how many years back? I think 2007. amd 4 core with 500 units...

slide show to say the least. its becoming the norm. the next dare i say consoles will make this more evident.

amd despite not being a top performer in all segments. Has some good performance for the money. Im curious to see how interlagos performs. I would like to see some numbers. Cray likes them. I feel the need to remind people that this architecture is not desktop based. :) I believe with node...

I am in agreement. This seems to becoming a pattern. One can speculate as to not having a strong ceo and as of until lately any ceo as lack of dare I say mismanagement. I believe amd has some great engineers.
