Looks like both the i5 and i7 version will hit 5+ghz on air alone. Pretty impressive.
I'm definitely upgrading from my 775 CPU.

22nm hits 2012, much more interesting architecture from AMD comes out in 3-4 months
why wouldn't I wait a 3 or 4 months/year unless I really needed it?
|
I don't think anyone actually needs 5+ ghz so I'm not gona be upgrading anytime soon
|
yeah i got a new computer over the summer she runs great and was perfect for my budget, i can only hope the next time im looking to get a new comp in a few years that processors will be 1000x more powerful then this, but hey those are some impressive stats
|
Yeah while I don't actually need it, the intriguing question is what kind of B&M discounts will Microcenter be running? I mean if the online price is $216 for the 2500K, what is Microcenter's price going to be?

Depends what you are currently running.
I still have an E6700, so im upgrading

You're delusional if you think bulldozer is ready for a Q2 2011 launch. Availability hasn't even been announced, no performance numbers have been touted, and motherboards have yet to been sighted. Sampling has barely even started -_-
I'm upgrading to a 2500k from a E6750.

Yeah AMD has been pretty good with their forum presence via "JF-AMD". Certainly different than how they handled the Barcelona launch (barf). That said, he's been pretty tight on information, or more importantly, relevant performance numbers. I mean, I can understand that they don't want to reveal anything to Intel, but SB is launching in just over 2 weeks now.
I've already expressed my frustration on the lack of information (and you'll probably see my posts in the H and XS threads lol).
I think the rosy sentiments for the Q2 launch is from this rumor pic:

Hmm reading the H thread, JF-AMD actually posted "Q2" in his Dec 20th post. Maybe that is giving more credit to that picture then...
|
Yet AMD has always been tight on releasing information ...
Q2 is when Bulldozer is slated to launch. Whether it's going to be delayed is another story.
|
the Sandy Bridge that will be released in the next 3 weeks will be the mainstream version.
if you want the performance enthusiast version , you gotta wait until Q3 of 2011 
the new i7 LGA2011 will be the shiznit, ill be upgrading from my P4 3.0GHz

2500k/2600k here i come. cannotttttt wait.
|
I held off getting an i7 870 from my E7500 for this. Either way waiting will be worth it.
|
I have a E7200 and it still works okay, no need to upgrade until I absolutely need to.

Its nice for ps2 emulation

This is good news, I've been saving for a new pc the last 5 weeks and I've already banked £650 (abut $1000) so by the time these come out I'll have a cool £1000 ($1500) ready to go. Can't wait :D

Yes. P67 / H67 are being released with these processors.
