Company arrogance or internal politics maybe?

Or more likely the BD design has few if any hand-tuned parts and hence those modules were design to be dropped in with minimal efforts into other designs like Trinity etc., and while Stars performed better scaling and adding it into different design may require more work?

I gave up on AMD, they are not going to make a comeback , I wish I could say they are but theyre not. Piledriver will be only a small improvement over BD.

Sandy Bridge cores are too fast and sweet to pass up. As of now the Sandybridge Pentium G630 which retails at like $79 beats the the FX-4100, -6100, and -8120 and thats the low end Intel offering.

Heres the link to verify that.

All current Amd cpu's should be sub $100 but AMD is just saving face. I have a Pentium G850 in my system waiting for the IvyBridge quads, and that pentium puts my old phenom 2 X4 to shame.

What is with this single-minded focus on only gaming? Some people use their computers for other things, and it is NOT true that a SB Celeron beats an FX 8120 in everything. Hardly.

8 cores > 2 cores, for distributed computing, for example.

For multi-threaded apps, I would dare say than the FX 8-core chips blow away the SB Celerons.

Unfortunately, if there is anything keeping the mainstream PC momentum going it is gaming, so I guess it matters a lot.

I understand your point and agree.

A SB Celeron certainly takes the cake in power consumption, I'll give you that...

No way a Pentium or Celeron SB will outperform my FX6100 at its current speed. Maybe close at stock but still, apples to oranges again.
