Meanwhile with Bulldozer

[Herpicus]

They've misplaced 800 Million Transistors. Where could they have gone!

This is a bit unusual. I got an email from AMD PR this week asking me to correct the Bulldozerhttp://www.anandtech.com/show/4955/the-bulldozer-review-amd-fx8150-tested transistor count in our Sandy Bridge E reviewhttp://www.anandtech.com/show/5091/...dy-bridge-e-review-keeping-the-high-end-alive. The incorrect number, provided to me (and other reviewers) by AMD PR around 3 months ago was 2 billion transistors. The actual transistor count for Bulldozer is apparently 1.2 billion transistors. I don't have an explanation as to why the original number was wrong, just that the new number has been triple checked by my contact and is indeed right. The total die area for a 4-module/8-core Bulldozer remains correct at 315mm2.

AMD was already done with the battle against Intel, now they all up to Mobile devices and so on.

Doing it wrong.

its all about intel now... =/

I think GlobalFoundries is at blame here...

Yeah they messed up but it happen's thats why i did not buy it but there will be a version 2 and I will be getting it i think its called vishera. <3 amd forever
