CPU/Mobo AMD Bulldozer Discussion Thread

Now that is a better overclock than 4.6GHz, something to talk about.

5.1GHz is great on air, for an ES. I'm wondering how much the final chips on stock cooler would be able to do.
 
If the stock clock is really in the late 3s and Turbo somewhere in the mid-4s, we should be seeing 5 GHz overclocks minimum.

hopefully.. these clock speed increases would also translate into better single threaded performance.

This is something I am soo uncertain, how do we define single-threaded for AMD now, 1 module or 1 core per module. Does AMD count their processor as a 4 module one(like intel's 4 core 8 thread thanks to HT) or 8 core one.

This high clocks thing is making me jumpy, cause in the end, when a commoner reads 3.8GHz AMD processor barely competing with INTEL's 2.8GHz processor(god forbid that happens), they would say MEH to AMD, since they wont be knowing AMD's architecture is meant to work at high frequencies, and scale to high frequencies, much like NetBurst.
 
true.. Bulldozer is just a modification of HT, i think AMD call it a "strong thread' or "Two strong threads".so it is still modular, so i guess it would be performance of the module.
 
Direct comparision, seems pretty legit to me. Only downer is AMD's BD sucks at Super and Hyper Pi.

so what kind of performance are we looking at here?
will bd blow the competition straight out of the water? (at its price point, of course)
or will it fizzle out?
 
Fingers crossed., i am so damn excited for the bulldozer and HD 7000 , and yes the current leaks do look authentic, hoping the b3 stepping would be more better, read the same on sofpedia for a price point of 15k INR .... ATM that looks like a kikass performance but too early to say , :cool2:

I think you forgot to update the table properly and did not insert the pipe. Only figures for the red chip are visible...!
 
Yeah, with all the delay, i see the wait is worth it. for some reason we like to see the underdog win .

just imagine, bulldozer matching i7 990x, wonder How INTEL would respond to dat :eek:hyeah: ,

Sandy Bridge E, obviously.
 
^^Lol. Ivy Bridge not even able to surpassSB (acc to the early benchmarks leak). Ib is more of a die shrink with 3d transistors than a complete new approach.

Plus IB focuses more on graphics as Intel will release better IGP in it.

I don't think I can believe those benchmarks, since we are only what A YEAR away from it's release. Whereas, these BD leaks, (not the ones happening 1-2 months ago), the most recent ones, are REAL, we are close to launch after all, maybe 1-2 months.
