Re: AMD Bulldozer and Llano prices revealed
Before a proper comparative benchmark is unveiled, it is difficult to gauge these prices. With the new architecture, terms like "six core" or "eight core" mean different things than usual. I can't wait for those benchmarks!
I have a feeling that a Bulldozer quad will not perform quite as well as an i-series CPU with four physical cores, Sandy bridge or no. If prices are worked out so that, say, an eight core Bulldozer CPU competes with a Quad Sandy Bridge with Hyperthreading, then I am guessing AMD will have clear advantage, which would be fantastic for the underdogs. Go AMD!
