Your view on AMD's Bulldozer

“The world’s first 8-core unlocked processor” (that needs 8 cores to match a 4-core locked processor)
They’re just leaving out words ;)

i`m gonna pour soy sauce on AMD if they even attempt to turn bulldozer into fusion APU without fixing bulldozer first... aka trinity?
Edit: first things first, bulldozer atm eats too much power, too high of a TDP to even integrate an IGP -,-
simple solution! reduce the clock speed just like what they did with Llano, oh and do worse than current Llano? sweet~

Trinity is supposed to be based on Pile Driver which is really an "enhancement" to Bulldozer. It should fix whatever is broken with Bulldozer, should be faster, but still speculation.

Which just goes to show: Intel can use twice as less cores, 1/3 less material at 1/3 less space, and still use less power... to still beat new AMD CPU. I mean, I used both in the past and today. My old Semprons or Athlons could never really keep up with modern games (of like 2003-2006). Then I got a crappy Intel Dual Core (wasn't even a Core 2 or anything) and that thing has lasted until this very day. I mean, I have an AMD X6 in my other computer... but it still doesn't mean that an i5 that is only $70 more expensive than my AMD X6 just smashes it to bits. But yeah, there is already the limit to how fast a CPU can go... now all we need is more cores. :P

On paper it looks like 8, but no matter how they word it, it still looks like a 4 to me.
