AMD - Bulldozer Chitchat

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

It looks like some benchmarks of an early Llano engineering sample have been leaked:

It is hard to say whether Turbo Core is fully functional though.

The CPU score indicates IPC is a tad better then the current Athlon II X4:

The GPU seems to be similar in performance to an HD4670 or HD5550 when the CPU is at low clockspeeds.

However,if the CPU is overclocked it seems the performance is closer to a GT240 DDR3 or 8800GS.

Never seen that before and thats funny. Should have ran that one on the TV it would have sold more Athlons

This article also has a Best Buy video about the APU:

Nice to see retailers are enthusiastic about the new AMD CPUs.

Edit!!

Supposedly Bulldozer is being delayed:

However,it is hard to verify whether this is true ATM.

The quad core price has baffled me since I saw it

I wonder if the CPU they are talking about is Bulldozer or Sandy Bridge E??

Il bet on neither tbh... gotta be something else considerably less important but they wnt complain about people thinking its one of the above now will they!

Here are some pictures of the mobile Llano processors:

The dual cores and quad cores seem to share the same die.

It seems the specifications of the mobile Llano processors have been leaked:

It looks like the A4 dual core has 240 shaders.

Some more details about how both Llano and Bulldozer are positioned:

According to AMD the highest end mobile Llano at launch has around the same 3DMark Vantage score as an HD5650M:

Considering the TDP of the package is less than a mobile Phenom II X3,HD5650M and a dedicated northbridge this will mean the Llano laptops will probably consume less much power.

hope the pricing gets leaked soon, need to know how much im saving for the 8 core range .

Its sad that i cant wait for bulldozer to come out, albeit my cpu is 3years old now so its time to upgrade!

You'll kick yourself if you don't wait, whichever brand you go with.
