I was dissapointed with bulldozer specs

[Onceler]

they have 2 integer units to 1 FPU counting this as 2 cores.
would this be a big deal to me? I do video editing and rotoscoping.
I have a hex core phenomII but am waiting to see if it will be worth it to upgrade.

We don't need to make a new thread for every member who has something unsubstantiated ax to grind against a product they have not even seen tested yet, do we?

Surely any of the other existing over-hyped/over-bemoaned bulldozer threads could have been the recipient of the post in the OP without resorting to creating an entirely new thread, couldn't it?

Lulz. And with the delay, we are going to have to suffer through the rumor threads for that much longer. It's been over 2 years already.

Some of the comments in those threads are like listening to a wino blabber on and on about how great and wonderful Ripple is. And just about as coherent. Why do I keep reading them? I guess I can't live without the tic they give me.

You are disappointed by the specs but unsure what the specs mean? huh?

I remember the days when a "CPU Core" didn't include a FPU, that was extra.

Yeah I had a 386sx which mainly meant it didn't have a math co-peocessor on it like the DX version did. I remember buying desktop dyno software when I was into circle track racing in Ocala, FL. I would run different cam profile changes and such to see the power curves each camshaft would provide. You talk about slow! The thing was such a dog in anything that required complex math. It was a Tandy 2500 SX? And it could run at 8? mhz or 20 mhz.
