AMD: No 'Bulldozer' Anytime Soon

[humand]

it's a shame. from what i read and heard bulldozer had potential. seems like amd goal for the near future is to improve power consumption and not speed. that will still give the intel the edge in speed and their processors will continue to be rather expensive. i think amd's got the order wrong if they want to compete with intel. wake up amd!

He does make some very good points, and its nice to see they have a sence of humour.

these CPU's all better be 64-bit because after hearing all the performance increases in 64-bit, im not upgrading until i know that they are. The Intel Xenon's are not... the Core 2 Duo dual cores are not (according to Windows Server 2008)

Ehh? Since when are C2D's and the new Xeons not 64 bit?

pretty much all processors sold since 2006 are 64bit enabled.

Not Much on BullDozer. Yet, reason TOP Priced Models are So OverPriced IS To Limite testing to chosen large venders, If Public could get BEST Stuff, ruin test with hacknyed assemblages, throwing test off kilter to point that defective next generations would be result, by keeping TOP Performer isolated to IT Dept Run Large Systems(Whom Pay NO Additional Premium Fee), TOP IS Advanced, Bit By Bit.

This might be true for the low margin consumer market but it is completely different in enterprise market when the price is actually one of the least deciding factors (far behind reliability and performance(absolute/per watt)) and margins are super high for whoever puts out the better chip.
What concern in enterprise is the cost of HW when you pay much more for annual support service? The damage caused by a failed/undeperforming HW may be just as high as the cost of the HW itself after a single day (or hours/minutes depending on the business).
