I would definitely be willing to spend $190 on a quad core.

it makes a lot of sense that Sony would switch to AMD given the direction nVidia seems to be going with GPUs.

What does that mean, exactly?

It would be pretty strange and amazing if MS uses a revamped Cell and Sony goes with a BD variant after pimping Cell as the end all be all of the future back when they released the PS3. Its almost a total reversal in each company's design ideology.

It's not really strange or amazing that Sony promoted something new and expensive and it turned out not to be the next big thing.

Last I heard, late August for desktop Bulldozer parts. Server chips should be out any day now.

Whoa, that's closer than I expected. I might actually have the patience to wait and see if it's something I'd be willing to buy. Thanks.

If those benchmarks are true: I wonder how the four-core model fares (there's no emoticon for that).
