I'd rather see bulldozer first rather than worry about how piledriver performs.

Exactly!!!

I wonder what is AMD's fascination with naming their products after heavy and slow construction machinery? :hmm:

Last i recall the official AMD slides showed second gen BD going to FMx socket.

FMx seemed to just be a place holder name. It was also used to denote the next gen APU's socket.

So in 2013 this will compete with a Haswell Pentium?

Nah, it'll compete with Core 2 in 2014.
