Your view on AMD's Bulldozer
nstgc:
Everything I've read about the Bulldozer's architecture screams "revolutionary", and I am an AMD fan boy, but when I went to build a new computer over the summer, I ended up buying a i5-2500k because it was more cost effective than AMD.

Still running on a oc'ed Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 @ 3.33 GHz. I don't really game a whole lot anymore (that might change with BF3 though) but I am already feeling age of this PC going (also running an HD 4870). Would love to get a new system soon, need to find some work first lol.

Duh... it's better than the X6 1100T and it is only what? $20-$30 more expensive? Will Bulldozer bulldoze over Intel? Not likely. Intel is miles ahead of AMD but it's nice where AMD is at in the mid-level market for cost effective builds. Is the i5-2500k $20-$30 better than the 1100T? Probably $50-$100 better...
As for purely Bulldozer talk, It's just going to replace the Phenom II line of processors. They probably won't be any better than the top of the line i7 if not far worse. Expect prices to be around $200-$350 when they first come out.

I really hope that Bulldozer will be slightly better than Intel just so they get back in the race.
In my ideal world Intel and AMD would have 50/50 market share and both have big budget to compete so that we consumers get cheap CPUs ;)

According this, pricing won't be be over $300 dollars but below.
