[Idontcare]

Can you link to a transcript of this new AMD conference call? I can read up on it and make the necessary updates. Thanks.

the presentation slides was on Opteron roll out, nothing on BD.

Just because a CPU has 128-bit internal registers doesn't mean that carries to the outside world.
Doesn't anybody remember the 386SX?

 

[Borealis7]

Right, 128Bit is not only for memory addressing, could be used for instruction speed up if you pre-load values onto the instruction word like a "01010101" mask or something instead of creating it in during the instruction execution.

Release in 2011? I really hope that better be one hell of a CPU because until then AMD only has Phenom 2 which is only competitive with C2Q and even that segment is going to replaced by Nehalem...2010 is gonna be a year of hurt for AMD.

They have a couple of interim products coming in 2010 to help weather the storm. Some 6 core phenoms (thuban or something I think?) and the 12-core Mangy Corps also coming

yes the new Anand article on upcoming road map confirms this as well, AMD has little in 2010. So probably see some price drops.

"Mangy Corpse" ***snerk***

Greyhound was the engineering code name for AMD's Family 10h processors. Not K10. This was something an overzealous marketing person used in an offhand interview which then got picked up by everything on the planet.

Bulldozer is Bulldozer.

Let me add this whole K10 nonsense has been rehashed before:
