Thanks for the roadmap.

Looking forward to Bulldozer APU. The enhanced bobcat cores also sound really interesting.

That means we will get our hands on Zacate this Christmas. Woot!

Wait, did it specifically say that in the slides, or are you just speculating? I'd love to see zacate before year's end, but I was under the impression we wont see it until January.

Why not? Since we see finished desktop motherboards before the corresponding new CPUs even launch, so I'm under the impression it will be the same case for laptops/netbooks, merely waiting for Bobcat to be plugged in.

Looking at the SB thread it also sounds like that's when SB will be released. January cant come soon enough.
