Jesus Christ...
Reviews are trickling in, this leak was NOT wrong.
AMD has delivered what will be a disappointment to many. The Intel fanboys have won this round. There just isn't any way around it. AMD fans, get ready to eat crow. If you expected something to outshine Sandy Bridge in terms of performance overall, it is just not there. frown
Bulldozer has surely been built with the future of computing in mind. And seemingly a lack of backward vision whatsoever. In single threaded applications Bulldozer gets its ass handed to it by Intel's Sandy Bridge Core i5 and i7 K series processors. Conversely, the moments where we see Bulldozer shine it is deeply computing through multithreaded applications, but even then it is not shining that brightly. Still Bulldozer's sum is greater than its parts as the metrics have shown.
It gets outperformed by Phenom IIs in traditional applications. WTH was AMD thinking?

Well to be honest a 32nm octo core phenom II would best the FX-8150 probably in everything and shave off close to 1B transistors. This is actually a massive failure, when 2B transistor CPU beast can at best only match 1B from intel your screwed, and intel 22nm is probably ready to go right now but they can at least now delay it a good 6-8 months with no competition.

It's not a matter of Besting Intel, it's a matter of creating options for consumers so one CPU giant doesn't dominate the market.
With nothing to compete with Intel, we're left paying whatever Intel deems their processors are worth. If there were serious competition, everyone would benefit.

Beat? No. I did expect their flagship to at least be CLOSE to the I7 2600k in practical applications and power use.

For real competition, it has to go back and forth, more like nVidia and ATI. This Intel steps on AMD repeatedly doesn't bode well for competition.

As an Intel employee, I am rubbing my hands together gleefully, a la Mr. Burns.
Okay, not really.

It seems to me that AMD still has the price point to performance ratio.. do they not? I think it was just to early to release an 6/8 core CPU either way.
IMO I think AMDs future will be in their APUs.. If they can get them to work side by side with higher end cards then that would be something to look out for.
