I think I'll tear up. :'(

Although.. I don't have high expectations. Just excited.

LOL

God sure hope bulldozer either blows intel away or performance is a bit below it.

Don't wanna see any freaking fanboy flame wars when processors are neck to neck...threads about it won't ever end.

Hope its good the green team needs a comeback and i hope they deliver :thumbsup:

This sucks. The iPhone 4S review NDA lifted an hour ago. I haven't gotten through them all yet and now I'll have to choose between reading iPhone reviews or Bulldozer reviews.

Here is the english subtitle version of the Donanimhaber review video: http://www.donanimhaber.com/islemci/haberleri/AMD-FX8150-islemci-incelemesinin-ingilizce-altyazili-versiyonu-yayinda.htm

I can't believe it, all the leaks and rumors were true.. it's a piece of garbage that's slower than an x6 in many tests. Looks like an i7 in my immediate future, god.. I feel like such a tool for waiting to upgrade since last April.

To hell with SSD's and cell phones, this is what our ancestors came to anandtech for all those decades ago!

Anand has said on twitter that he won't sleep until its done, so I expect it sometime this evening as well.

Somehow, have been getting the distinct impression that reviewers under NDA have better drivers/bios updates than we realize. Would fit with the delay on shipments. Going to have to stay up now and check the different reviews and trusted opinions.

This kind of ties into the fact that Anand is rushing to get the review finished before launch

Maybe. Or maybe BD will actually manage to out-Barcelona Barcelona...D:

What about this? oZeros » Review: AMD Bulldozer FX-8150 :hmm:

I think that AMD FX-8150 Bulldozer Preview from lab501 should be included as well.

Edit: Just a bit too late, StrangerGuy beat me to the oZeros review.

It's surreal isn't it? Is this how you pictured it? With forty-three days left in the year, AMD is finally letting us publish benchmarks of its long awaited Phenom microprocessor. The successor to K8, AMD's most successful micro-architecture to date, and the cornerstone of AMD's desktop microprocessor business for 2008: Phenom is here.

But shouldn't there be fireworks? Where's the catchy title? The Star Wars references were bound to continue right? Why were there no benchmarks before today, why are the next several pages going to be such a surprise?

AMD had been doing such a great job of opening the kimono as its employees liked to say, giving us a great amount of detail on Barcelona, Phenom and even the company's plans for 2008 - 2009. The closer we got to Phenom's official launch however, the quieter AMD got.

Wow. Everything was true. It's not even competitive with the 2500k once you reach a common overclock (~4.5ghz), all while consuming TONS of power.

This is AMD's Prescott. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

BD 1st gen can only be a value processor line.

AMD can indeed fix things with another stab at it though, sort of how PhI went from meh to PhII being fairly good all things considered.

when is Anand's review coming up?

yeah at stock speed it is sometimes slower than the Phenom 2 X4. wow, I feel sorry for gamers that waited for this chip.

Pretty much dead even with my 955 in the games they show.
