AMD Bulldozer, Llano Pricing Surface

Platibus · May 26, 2011

Two questions:

Is the 8130P the highest end model of Bulldozer? And, will the release of these APUs lower the prices of current CPUs, Phenom and Athlon?

According to that chart the FX 8130 will be the highest model of Bulldozer (8 cores with highest clock speed) on the market for some period of time. Though of course what is considered high end changes rapidly.

And the Phenom II's and Athlon II's already got a price cut this month with anticipation of Bulldozer next month, so i doubt they'll be going any lower anytime soon.

Yes, for now and it should but seeing as they have already dropped in price, I don't know by how much. Not that I would know anyway.

You should also be able to find plenty of used Phenoms for sale at an even better price.

You beat me by a few seconds.

I would seem to me that AMD is pushing more for a core war than raw speed war that they have lost out on for the last 5 years . Intel has the i7 right ? If it takes an AMD 8 core Bulldozer to compete with a Quad core that would tell me that AMD is not really giving any real bang for the buck ( Of-course time will tell as No one knows just how they will perform ) . I hope they are far better than I think they will be . AMD has to step up the game NOW . And if they do manage to blow Intel out of the water then expect to be paying a lot more than this for a 8 core CPU ! Remember FX ? Them AMD FX CPU's were $1000.00 Bucks and MORE ! Not going to get one at them prices I tell you this . I will Not pay more than $350 bucks for a CPU EVER !

@Those complaining about prices:
What were you expecting for 8-core processors, $200?
If the Bulldozer 8-core are overpriced, I wonder what the Core i7 970, 980X and 990X are. :>

Yeah I was expecting around 500.
Shit I just spent $200 on a used 1090T.
Got a Frio cooler with it though. I'll be sticking
with it for awhile. I just don't want to have to
totally rebuild again. Just did it a month ago.
