Bulldozer vs Core i7?

[ambam]

I know that AMD's bulldozer chips are just a few months away from becoming available to the consumer. I was wondering if there are any benchmarks available to compare the bulldozer performance to the Intel Nehalem.

The Bulldozers allegedly have quad-channel DDR3 memory while the Nehalem is only tri-channel. Intel's enthusiast 8-core Extreme Edition Sandy Bridge processors won't become available until Q4 2011.

Do the Bulldozers have hyper-threading? I heard that each Bulldozer core has Two CPU modules in them, meaning that a quad core Bulldozer has 8 CPU modules.

It's nice to see AMD put out a blazingly fast enthusiast CPU. The Phenom II's were kind of mediocre.

Was that slide mentioning that the BD 8 core would be 50% faster than the current phenom 2 x1100t and i7 950 proven fake?I am a bit behind on the these news.I I seriously hope BD can compete with Ivy Bridge though,not sandybridge as this will push the competiton and price wars amazingly. The 8 core BD should be just as fast core for core as the i7 2600k at the very least.If not I'll ocnsider it a failure as I don't see it being priced any lower than that.That's my 2 cents.

So you'll consider Bulldozer a failure if it's not 40% faster than a 2600K when it's going to be priced about the same? Highly doubt AMD is going to sell processors that out perform Intel's Extreme Edition models for a mere $300. :lol:

I said I hope it will compare to Ivy Bridge,but I will consider it a failure if it doesn't match the i7 2600k core for clock.I don't mean to be rude,but please read the post you're quoting twice before responding next time.

Yah know what ? all this negative feedback such as demoting group's of people that love amd, and calling them fanboy's is really annoying. Please if you dont like the individual's prefrences...keep it off the thread. Yes amd might be the forrest gump of the cpu market, but think of all the potential it has into blosseming into a downright good cpu manufacterer with decent prices...I mean id be a fanboy for that, wouldnt you ?


Oh and im not a trolling person lol, I couldnt think of a better name.....I really put a hole in my boat with this one

I agree. Fanboys are generally clueless. I would hate to see either AMD or Intel as our only CPU provider. As each respective fanboy apparently wants.

Remember when the <insert any computer product here> was the only decent one available? The prices for it were ridiculous, due to no-competition.

Thank <some higher power here> that corporate wars exist.
