Interesting, I love to see how Bulldozer is going to perform! :toast:

AMD to demo Bulldozer next week
http://www.semiaccurate.com/2010/11/06/amd-demo-bulldozer-next-week/
THERE HAVE BEEN rumblings of AMD's Bulldozer core being pulled in, and some very wild dates are floating. It is true that they are pulling it in, but not nearly as much as some speculate.

Short story, Llano is set for a late Q2 introduction. Orochi, the first Bulldozer part was coming in Q3. This latest adjustment puts Orochi in Q2, we hear April or May for the first few units, likely before Llano. This is probably going to be announced at analyst day next week when Orochi will be publicly demoed. That is the big surprise for attendees.

Those breathless few who are saying January/February for launch are missing one big thing, validation. Orochi is a server part, and while the platform, Socket C32, is known, the chip isn't. Orochi samples are just going out now, and there is not enough time to properly validate the new chip + old platform.

Any server vendor worth consideration will need more than 2-3 months to validate the platform, BIOS, and new features. Intel says that you need about 12 months to validate a server part, AMD claims a bit less. If there isn't more than a quarter between sample and release, you might want to consider Intel CPUs this round, validation is that important. Bringing Orochi to market is more than plugging in a chip.

In the end, you will see Orochi this coming week in demo form. You will very likely see it later in Q2 in low volume form, and Q3 will bring real volume. Barring last minute glitches, the light is finally visible at the end of AMDs tunnel.S|A

We could also wait until after the event and then talk about what really happened. Well, at least that is what I am going to do.

Will you guys have specific software support? Update to AMD Overdrive, OpenCL, etc? Specific "enchancements"/"tweaks" if your CPU is used with CCC?

No Q1 release's?

I was planning on buying one in Feb

Super XP · Nov 7, 2010

A quarter is a long time. AMD can easily call for a Q2 release, but that could be in late June. That would suck. I was hoping at the very least a March to April release date. Bulldozer is definitely going to be my next processor upgrade with the possibility of the HD 6970 now and another when Bulldozer comes out for Crossfire.
January, February, March = Q1.
April, May, June = Q2.

Finally, do we get some numbers?

Ditto...

Well looks like I'm buying am3 and a x6 to tide me over then.

My AM2+ should keep me going until Bulldozer gets released, but I would like to upgrade my CPU so I can OC up to 4+GHz.

Currently I am stuck at a solid stable 3.60 GHz, a 600MHz OC over it's original speed.

I am server so I can't speak to desktop software.

If by numbers you mean performance, we have always said performance benchmarks at launch.

but why AMD can't released in Q1 2011 ? why not Q4 ? AMD will surely lost if they plan for Q4 because intel will have something much more powerfull by that

You guys will have single-skt server platform this time, eh?

Will i be able to run an Orochi/Opteron-based rig for gaming?

I want to fold on the rig too, so teh higher-quality silicon the Opteron line offers is something I want in my main rig, but I've missed this opportunity since running an Opteron 170.

Listen. If you are, please send one of the guys on the crunching team a rig, so that he can help others get set up. You know exactly what direction I'm headed here...

Many many years ago I got into server hardware, because I had a "Digital Life" vision of every home running multiple "clients" with a main server hosting data/apps. With Windows7 phone, the XBOX360, The MediaRoom platform, and Windows7, the software support for such usage is there, but I do have a bit of issues deciding on which hardware platform is best to base it off of.

But then, maybe I need a new muse. :laugh:
