How about you chief? My guess is AMD probably needs customers like me more than sycophants like you.

That was before you got in nvidias pants and started bleeding green i bet. I have and still do own amd systems btw.

From your own link trollo:

Despite of adjustment, Intel continues to lead the market with 54.9% share, Advanced Micro Devices is distant second with 24.4% and Nvidia Corp. is about five million graphics adapters behind AMD with 20.1% of the market

K, thanks for playing!

Like I said, personally I don't care if AMD makes ALL of the cheapie chips welded to motherboards, NVIDIA has the lead in the discrete market. If we were to discuss PC GPUs in total like you are trying to because it's the only way ATi "leads" we'd have to say both ATi and NVIDIA are small players, with intel dominating GPU tech.

You also foolishly posted that AMD was "making a bunch of money" from their GPU division when they're actually losing milllions. LOL

Not to mention, they always have their GPU division that is making a bunch of money since they took back majority market control from NV...

About the stuff in blue, when did AMD ever sell their chips for quite a bit less when they had competitive parts? AMD can't go into a price war right now. Those charts we don't know what the performance of bulldozer is, my guess Intel is still going to trump them based on pricing.

Red part says who? Last I heard nV gained market share last quarter in over all, lost a little bit in discrete 5% (which is actually low end discrete so little money in that segment) or so but gained in notebook....... greater than 8%

here if you want to know:

Keep in mind this is discreet only, integrated graphics AMD will have more but if you want to factor that in AMD and nV both get crushed by Intel. But there isn't much money in the integrated market anyways unless you have Mass sales, and AMD really doesn't have that when you look at that extra 5% they have over nV when you factor that in.

Is there any news on the release date?

Most recent I can find is Oct. 12

If it's not out by the 20th I'm going to have to go with SB... really hoping it's out by then.

There were pics leaked today from reviewers of the packs that were sent out to them (FX cpu + ASUS crosshair formula V mobo) so the 12th seems likely. 1 week to review sounds about right too.

excited to see what they bring out

Seems Bulldozer got bulldozed by sandy bridge. Really sad TBH. Was hoping Bulldozer would be decent.

Though those results could still be fake.

He is a pretty trusted member over at Extreme Systems. I have a feeling they are real.

I was hoping it would have released a week ago. My EVGA board died and took my Xeon with it. So i needed something fast and I must say. So far this SB chip is very nice. Fantastic preformance for a very little price.

that could explain why AMD was so quite about these chips, doesn't look that promising.

where does fx 8150 fit? top model? middle?
