You can have a Lamborghini as a car, but when the settings of the engine (mixture/ignition time) is not correct then it's a pain in the ass.

You don't honestly think all software companys are going to say, aha, Bulldozer is out lets spend our profit money optimising our software that works just fine on Intel and current gen AMD CPU's for this low selling Bulldozer CPU do you ... not gonna happen mate ... bit of a cop out from AMD too that they say performance of Bulldozer wont work properly until Windows 8.
AMD have delayed and delayed and delayed this chip for what seems like forever now, and now that its here they are saying Piledriver (their next one) will be the Intel killer ... what about all those false claims of massive performance increases over equivalent Intel CPU's they made too, that's just plain dis-honest, people are going to start thinking ...
fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
I'm beginning to wonder if this fiasco has anything to do with a top AMD CEO being fired recently ... they say the buck stops at the top.
Dont get me wrong, I own an SB I7 2600K and an I7 920, but I really hoped AMD would come back strong this time the way they did about years ago with the FX64 series and Thunderbird/Athlon stuff, my Nephew is wanting me to build him a new PC I asked him to wait for Bulldozer (because of the claims) but I would be doing him a disservice by building him one of these, pricing up an I5 2500K system for him as I type.
It gives me no pleasure to say, but you must be an AMD fan boy mate
or clutching at straws.
