AMD gases up Bulldozers for Intel push back

[jamescv7]

Advanced Micro Devices is in a number of tight spots at the moment, but the company is hopefully optimistic that its future "Bulldozer" Opteron processors due later this year will let it dig in and grab some desperately needed - and profitable - server market share from archrival Intel.

The first Bulldozer Opteron chips, the 16-core "Interlagos" processors, are still on track for production in the second quarter with a formal launch sometime in the third quarter, Vlad Rozanovich, director of the enterprise and public sector business at AMD, tells El Reg. These chips will be used in servers with two or four processor sockets and will plug into existing machines that use the G34 socket and that currently sport the 12-core "Magny-Cours" Opteron 6100s.

I have looked at amd's price and the 6100 is the best choice if you wanna buy a server cpu. Just imagine for cpu of a 8core cpu with nice overall MB Cache (lvl 2: 2mb & lvl3:6MB) compared to intel's Xeon that has low Cache

I don't know if I am AMD fanboy but they better than Intel performance per price
