Let's see what the price/performance is like. Hope AMD got this one right.

$250+... ridiculous. AMD really aren't aiming for competitive prices. They're hoping big numbers sell. Most people don't know clock speed and number of cores don't mean squat.

I'm just hoping that the price reflects the actual performance in a good way. Time to upgrade my machine!

so based on price... the performance is between an i7 and an i5?
let's hope so.

these chip have to be real good for those prices, and not the 10-15% improvement over BD. Reviews should be out soon.

regardless of performance, AMD has to cover costs and make a profit....

never said they did not

You guys are trying to gauge the price by the expected performance....but the performance makes little difference to the price. Even if they perform closer to the Athlon64 X2 5600....AMD still has to cover their expenses. Can't sell at a loss just because the performance sucks.

I like my Bulldozer. Never had a problem.

Zambezi needs a 250-300 MHz boost over Vishera to beat it.
4.5 GHz Vishera = 4.8 GHz Zambezi

Just an engineering sample. I expect retail with polished mobo bioses performance to be better.
I wont upgrade anyways. What I have now run anything I need optimaly. Ill wait till visheras go down in price in like a year or so.
