A 4CPU AMD will easily crush a 2CPU Intel.
AMD Bulldozer News and Discussion
My point was it is not going to make the top-end CPU of the competitor redundant like they did with Athlon64 (desktop). But good to see, there's quite a bit unearthed potential in BD. Hopefully, Piledriver is going to correct a lot of things.

hope things will change with PD.

which cpu

may be eh is talking about opteron.
4CPU interagos vs 2CPU SB-E.

why are you comparing those two?
nope it is not.right now it is even worse than athlon II X 4
why are you comparing those two?
Instead of buying a dual CPU 8-core SB-EP setup worth $4k (of which the stillborn kids are SB-E), an IT department person will buy 4 Interlagos 16-core chips worth $2.5k.
16 cores vs. 64 cores where 64 cores are cheaper. See what I mean?
revolt, wait for windows 8.

win 8 is too late and don't expect any win 7 patch so only hope is PD or BD revision B3,if they went bad then thats it, no one is going to wait.AMD should bury themselves after bulldozer >pile driver >excavator..... burier and at last the Intel architecture will be condolence.
Even after stating to reviewers that there will be one early next year?

if PD Fails intel i3 will be 10k and PD 8 Core will be 5k

@extreme gamer,
what will come early next year?win 8?I don't think so because now only they have released developer preview.so next will be beta after a long time because from the developer preview only you can find that it is still incomplete.so after beta it will take some more 3-4 months for final.so can you expect it to get released early next year?
win 7 patch,i don't know much about it.if it is coming then it is a good news but still to get full out of you need hell lot of optimization for almost all softwares,which AMD can't expect in a market where people and developers are completely biased towards Intel.so AMD only should do some optimizations in their hardware and release it to the market.
@ranjitsd,
if PD fails then even don't expect that AMD will retail it.today you will hardly will be able to get your hands on a BD processor.

This is what they should have done with the desktop BD part: can it and instead utilize the resources to Trinity, Piledriver.
