go for bulldozer or current amd line-up?

[doomgiver]

should i wait for bulldozer price drops for 3-4 months or just go for a bulldozer supported mobo with a current amd cpu?

The least u can do now is wait till June 6th when Bulldozer launches...the picture(and ur decision)and will become clearer then....

OMGOMGOMG!!!! i hope the prices are as good as the current ones

I hope u saw the tentative prices that I posted in the bulldozer thread here

 

[doomgiver]

but i dont know how they compare to the present generation of cpu's

Please post your current system specifications and intended usage.... In any case, you must wait for 6th June.

naah, i just want to know if early adopting is better or just stick with the best you can get right now.

also, i think amd will reduce prices of its older cpu's, no?

^^ yep, Phenom II's price will be reduced by 20%.

BTW, It's better to wait for Bulldozer and I think they have some serious performance boost under the hood

Its crossed when is the launch of the new amd cpu. Where is it available.

i saw somebody saying it is postponed to september

^^ it's the truth. God amd keeps screwing themselves up, and they seem to love doing it all the time.

I hope they do it purposely

when it's business everything has a purpose and due to AMD's delays intel has delayed the release of their several cpus

Intel has taken a wait and see approach to the AMD's upcoming Bulldozer cpu line up and is readying their cpu arsenal to compete with every Bulldozer models possible

:tut: :tut: too many SKUs, and all they mention in the ads is Intel 2nd Generation Core processors!

All people get the el-cheapo non-turbo processors for the highest price.
