OOps...my bad...even I went through the Legitreviews link....sorry bro!

Btw..this is an ES chip...dont u think the release SKUs will perform better...with better clocks and stepping and all those stuff?

Arre, its absolutely OK, no probs.

Regarding the benchmarks AMD is already working on the B2 revision AFAIR. The 8130P will probably comes with a default speed of 3.8 GHz and 4.2 GHz on turbo. Apparently these ES and B0 samples couldn't hit the speeds AMD wanted and if we take the benchmark results of these ES samples, they are in dire need for speed.

So far it doesn't look good for the first batch of Bulldozer. Even the 990 chipset is disappointing.

thanks

Update:-

AMD new generation Turbo: Bulldozer FX processor with 1GHz speed can increase

 

[mukherjee]

^Thanks for the cool update bro!

The Delay to the BullDozer coupled with my upgrade bug is making me Move to i5-2400k which I dont want to

Is the i5 2400K available yet? Price?

First saw it mentioned in the Corsair blog some time ago...

 

[Tech_Wiz]

I blame the bug haha.. Its 2500K

Theitdepot - Intel Core I5-2500K 6MB 3.30GHz Processor

So the 16-core server CPU is demonstrated by AMD. See here:-

AMD Shows Off Working 16-Core Opteron "Interlagos" - X-bit labs

And here:-

Amd demonstrates a 32 core bulldozer server- The Inquirer

Nothing has been divulged but the chip is cool-running. Lets hope performance would be hot though.

Now, bring on the desktop Bulldozers.

 

[topgear]

^^ thanks for the news

BTW, can we get a 8 core Bulldozer CPU for desktop

 

[Skud]

The top-end model would be 8-core.

 

[topgear]

^^ glad to hear that - now we only need some really awesome performance from Bulldozer cpus

 

[Skud]

Fingers crossed since long!!!

AMD is delaying launches so much that by the time BD is out Intel will Launch 3rd gen

yeah, so it'll become Sandy Bridge E v/s BD not SB v/s BD.

I'm wondering if they did this purposely, as in, are they confident they can beat the 6 core SB-E with their 8 core?

In another couple of months we will come to know.
