At the loss of profit from Gulftown sales.

Clear out old stock before pushing new stock. Business 101.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you should have probably waited for BD, from what I can tell. It will be better than the 1090t.
 
is the bulldozer cpu good ? better? than a 1090t cpu if so better by how much?

I'm pretty sure that Gulftown has run it's course. It's the people like you that have them and want to upgrade that will bring the greatest profit.

Yes, and quite a bit if anything we know is true.

Not if they already produced a lot that need cleared out.

If they felt any need to release SB-E, they would have. We've been seeing board shots for months. The parts are available, they just have no reason to release them. Their only competition in the segment is themselves, and they can just wait to release to achieve both clearing out the old stock, and to sell a bunch of new stuff upon SB-E release. Best of both worlds.

They already shot themselves in the foot then. Anyone interested in spending that much money on a CPU is educated enough to know that SB-e is right around the corner. Ask AMD how Phenom II sales are going.

No, because they still get those sales when it does release, and they still sell the current top end until then, albeit at a reduced rate, but still selling better than if SB-E was already out. Selling the old stuff at a slower rate is way better than not selling it at all. When it releases, the new stuff will sell regardless of how long they held it for.

The only reason they would have had to release SB-E already is if there was another competitor in that market. There isn't, therefore the need does not exist. They can sit on it as long as they want, and still pull in money on Gulftown sales, for which there is also no competitor. PII sells poorly because there ARE other competitors in it's market segment.

This is why I want AMD to compete up top. We would already have SB-E out to compare.

I see what you are saying, but I dissagree. They aren't going to sell their stock before SB-e hits in a month or two. SB is already cannabalizing Gulftown sales because the performance difference between the two isn't worth the price difference at all. The segment of the market that is willing to pay that much is so small that nearly everyone that is willing to pay that price already has, and I still think their best bet is to launch it for the people like you that are excited to upgrade.

I have always respected you and your posts Wile E, but I really do think they would make more money by releasing it.

The price difference being worth it is irrelevant on the top end. Top end customers willingly pay the premium for the small increases. SB is not cannibalizing Gulftown. Only for gamers or bang for buckers. Those represent an even smaller percentage than the already small top end.

Look, they know more than both of us. If they felt that more money would come to them, they would have released it already.
 
month ags ffs when is this bd realresed????????????

Good point, but I don't think Gulftown will be a good seller between now and the point that SB-e is released. And we don't know anything about the yields for the chip, there are a billion things that could go wrong and that could be why it hasn't released already.

Supposedly next month. No one is absolutely sure though.

You can sell your 1090 when BD is released and take a good chunk out of the CPU cost of Bulldozer if you want to though.
