Wait I am not ready and when she finally is ready she looks at me while in the "f" ing car and tells me HOLD ON I have to PEE ! Yeah AMD is just like my wife always delaying me and delaying me !

Dude.....there is no delay. Q4 is Q4. October is Q4. The only time you will be able to bitch AMD did not deliver is January 1st of 2012.

Id rather have amd delay somthing like this for a month then have it come out and have problems.

LOL just like my wife .
If AMD is having problems NOW at this POINT in the game after all the previous delays what will it matter now ? I do not think 2 weeks will fix any thing . I think it is to get the stock they have out off the shelves like TheMailman78 said .

This keeps up Pile driver may come out first..... or we may all be the victim of the biggest April fools joke ever all it'll take is a few more delays and some liquid nitrogen! Amd .... stealth.. evil... genius..es. Intel will release 10 new cpus....... wait...... they're in this together!!!! oh the humanity

some confirmation about the overhead in adding a second core to the module (about none) that some were complaining got explained

The overhead from sharing is pretty low, so you get pretty close to the same performance. Running one thread on each module vs. filling the modules means that, to run the same # of threads, you will be doubling the amount of power required because you have fired up 2 modules.

hope this clarifies some doubts

not without hte sentence in front and behind that statement. It doesn't give the smae info without those other sentences.

I think the architecture is the same in the server part. And he states the 4C/4T only sucks more power than 2C/4T in BD and adds no performance gains. So this can also apply to desktop parts.

Server is a completely different ballgame.

That ...mber 19th is/was the joke of the year, just saw these slides:

Thx@deadohiosky

i guess the next bet is on october.

EDIT: @linoliveira
the 2 images seem to line up identically so i would presume that they are of the same slide and AMD was "taking the piss".

i thought he was saying that pushing 2 seperate threads into 2 separate modules would provide almost no perf gain in most cases and only increase power consumption and lower turbo headroom.
EDIT:NVM thats what u ware saying..wait what do u mean 2c/4t? argh need to go to bed. its too late.

I also saw that, but "...ember" could be September, November or even December! LOL
when the video first came out i didn't even realize that the month name was not complete

Some of you that come into these Bulldozer threads ever other day to post the same regurgitated crap just need to give it up. We understand that you don't like waiting. We understand that you are impatient and this may be too much for you to handle. So, if someone feels like posting useful information.. go for it. If you want to complain, post off topic, post nonsense, etc. Go away. I'm not talking to anyone in particular, but those who this post seems to relate to will know this is for them.

If you want to find Bulldozer information, search through the various news articles here.
