I am looking forward to these, and I will definitely get one. Cool

However, since it's still almost impossible to get your hands on a Fusion CPU three months after the release, I don't expect to be buying a Bulldozer any time before September... Rolling Eyes

Appears to be a disappointing entrance for the Bulldozer.
On par with the Intel i7-2500K and only slightly better in multi-threaded applications. Power consumption is a lot more still.

I'm aiming for the 22nm Intel Ivy bridge CPU's but I might, in a weak moment, decide to buy a i7-970 6 core to replace the 920 4 core before the Ivy bridge comes out. Smile
