Pre-ordered Bulldozer and feel a little let down?

I'm interested in either a CPUs on its own or a bundle of some sort (including cooler/mobo/RAM). Willing to buy for knock-down price or swap for barely used reference HD6850 (Powercolor). Your price must include postage to the UK.

Bulldozer is not a bad CPU. You made a great choice. It's all about the whole platform and it does great in Gaming.

Why feel bad?

The 8120 is £14-20 more than a 1100t so it's performance scales with it's price pretty well if you ask me.

It may have single threaded performance - 5 to 10 percent of phenom but it clocks %30 higher or so so works out as an upgrade.

And where it does scale in multi threaded applications it does do better than phenom x6.

It's definitely worth the £20 difference.
