Faceless Clock posted:Bulldozer is the underdog, and while no one can predict performance before a product is actually out, I think it would be a huge surprise if Bulldozer was on-par with current Intel Sandy Bridge products. I think we'll have to consider Bulldozer a relative success if they manage to catch up to Nehalem. I will admit to finally going back to Intel after nearly a decade with AMD. I respect the company but I just couldn't find it in myself to wait an indefinite amount of time to be able to upgrade to the next-gen tech. However, I would be terribly sad to see AMD start to falter, but as far as I can tell they've put themselves between a rock and a hard place with Bulldozer. Even if they can manage spectacular performance(and price ratios as is their way) compared to Sandy Bridge, it seems like they'll have taken center stage just in time for Ivy Bridge to come around.

You Am I posted:AMD will find someway of screwing it up, like dodgey third party chipsets or some CPU bug. My guess would be a failure to compete in price/performance, or a failure to compete in overclocking - both would be strange reversals for AMD so I hope I'm wrong! My guess is just because the 2600k as a target for a 'top end' chip is deceptive because it's reasonably cheap for Intel, and also overclocks like crazy.
