AMD Bulldozer: Will it be an Intel Killer?

[Bread]

Hey guys,

I'm getting ready to build my next setup and I was looking at the new AMD bulldozer, do you guys think it will be as good as AMD is saying it will be?
Will it actually give AMD a larger market share? Will the bulldozer even compare to Sandybridge?

Compare to Sandy Bridge? Yes.
Compare to Ivy Bridge? No.

Intel will never die, AMD has usually been a step behind with the exception of a few releases.

no. AMD sucks.

Intel is the best.

^ That's amazing, but before people start comparing Sandy Bridge i7's to Bulldozer, they should note that Ivy Bridge is around the corner.

Intel has made a good series of CPU's with the Sandy Bridge, and the upcoming Ivy Bridge. It is very difficult to compete with such good series, especially if a company like AMD, which don't have very great budgets for R&D.

But AMD made a step in the right way, and the processors are going to be as powerful as the Sandy Bridges, but for a way better price. But this serie can't compete with the Ivy I think.

L0Calh0st you Dutch?

AMD has done a wonderful performance with this new CPU, but over the last years Intel has led the market, so I don't think we should expect a radical market change...

Everyone knows the answer to this question: no.

They aim for 200-250$ CPU segment, not for the fastest processor in the world. They did it with Phenom II, offering faster CPU for the same price range, and that is what counts...

It won't be an intel 'killer' lol, it will be competitive, not out of the game...

[cyano]

no.Intel is the world's best leading processors makers fr a decade or so lol.Amd has been good but not matched up to intel's level
