One word comes to mind: disappointed.
I wonder if this was why the previous CEO stepped down because he knew that BD wasn't gonna turn heads.Last edited by werty316; 10-12-2011 at 07:53 AM.

I was hoping for more of a game changer but still seems like a decent CPU for a good pricepoint but still falls behind Intel

This is what I'm thinking.... Intel drops their prices on the Sandy Bridge lineup, and AMD will be in a bad situation. Though I'm still pretty sure lots of people will buy Bulldozer.
