AMD Bulldozer is here, oops!

[Rattlehead]

I haven't read the reviews yet. but this is what I was afraid of. I was really trying to hold out for Bulldozer, I wanted to believe that AMD could be competitive and maybe superior to Intel's offerings.

But the continual delays and generally bad vibe I was picking up about Bulldozer made me go with Intel, and I feel sorry for those of you who held out for Bulldozer only to find that a good old 2500k/2600k was there to be bought all along.

The problem for AMD is that Sandy Bridge-E and Ivy Bridge are on the horizon. Bulldozer really needs serious stepping to make a challenge.

On the other hand, if AMD can offer a great price/performance ratio as they have done in the past, then they can still be reasonably competitive with Intel, just not in the absolute performance stakes.
