Ivy's are interesting but they don't interest me as much as Sandybridge E's

Sandy-E will be better than Ivy but ridiculously priced like £500+ just for the CPU. The good thing about Ivy is it's going to be the same price, according to the article, as SB so that should also drop the price when Ivy comes out. Hopefully the 7 series motherboars will be the same price as 6 series ones as well.

The main thing going for Ivy is the power savings, it will make for some fantastic laptops, ultra quick with low power consuption and some really good tablets as well I think and probably other aplications where they need small but powerful cpu's

its called "open to speculation" in fact your the AMD fanboy in the matter, making your opinions into facts which is the first sign of fanboyism.
I will never comment on the performance until i see benchmarks from reliable sources.
If I was an 'AMD fanboy' I wouldnt own and be very happy with an i5 2500K............
I have never made any opinions into facts atall, I have just stated that there are allot of people putting down the BD straight away and thinking and saying its still not gonna beat the 2600K just because they are Intel 'fanboys' when the reality is it most probably will beat the 2600K so why dismiss it straight away? because they are 'fanboys'

FINALLY! Someone who I can confide with ^___^ All I keep hearing is "Bulldozer blows. Bulldozer is gonna be stomped. Bulldozer will never beat SB" Finally, someone who can actually hope that the underdog company could possible rise ahead of the game! Although I plan to get IB-E sooooooo yea XD

To be honest, it's all about the price to performance ratio. When I got my first AMD 64 4400+ X2 back in what, 2004/5, it was a beast. The price was high because dual core was NEW TECH. Still to this day, I received a higher FPS on that CPU @2.4GHz with an Nvidia 7800GT than a Q6600 @ near 4Ghz with 4870x2 OC. AMD CPU's have always been better for gaming. Video rendering is another story.
I do not like 1 company over another, if it's a good price and a good performer, go for it.

Are you an insider, or are you breaking NDA? Or are you just pulling out of your
As far as I can see, I'm a fan of the Bulldozer architecture finally breathing proper fresh air into AMD's desktop processors after almost decade of tinkering. But whether or not Bulldozer can stomp over Sandy Bridge is yet to be official; all rumours, speculation, and possible pre-emptive leaks/smears. I have a slight disappointment that Bulldozer did not integrate the Northbridge on the CPU like their Fusion FM1 kit; and info on EBD, Komodo, FM2, AM4, or whatever is so sketchy that it's making my upgrade path a PITA to plan out. Imagine the improvements between Intel 1156 and 1155, where not exclusively, but in part at least in the improvement was getting rid of the Northbridge bottleneck.

Actually the BD will just about match a 2600K. Bulldozer Enhanced will be better, but will it match Sandy Bridge E? Who knows, by the time it does, Intel may be preparing the launch of Ivy Bridge E.
The reality is it will come close or match the 2600K, not beat it. Nothing to do with fanboyism.

This doesn't get me excited. I can see some people just popping an ivy bridge in their existing boards, and others with a little more cash to splash will get the 7 series chipset boards.

Yeah I agree - unless the GPU will suck up all that extra PCI-E 3.0 bandwidth what's the point?
