Intels top chips are 6 core and Dozer is 8 core? All comparisons have been between AMD's 8 core and Intel's 4 core. Intel does have chips with higher core counts but they are Server chips where AMD has not released benchmarks.

Jim, > Intels top chips are 6 core and Dozer is 8 core? Intel's top chips are both the 6-core Westmeres and the 4-core Sandy Bridges. By the way, AMD is calling Bulldozer an "8-core chip" because of pure marketing. In reality, Bulldozer is a 4-core chip that has SMT. Tenchusatsu

Jim, Re: "... Intels top chips are 6 core and Dozer is 8 core?" But if "BSDoozer" 8 cores cannot come close in performance to Intel 4 core ... Then not much for Intel to worry about. Remember, "AMD Smokin" (tm McMannis). Mahmoud

Jim, Re: "Bulldozer might have looked better if it was released a year or two ago?" Can AMD's Bulldozer Flatten Intel? "...A year ago, I thought AMD was worth about $10 per share based on the upcoming Fusion and Bulldozer products. I don't think so anymore if this is the best Bulldozer can do. And then we have a board that makes the CEO check his back for daggers every morning. The magic moment won't come. Intel looks much more attractive than AMD today. The performance crown looks safe for the foreseeable future, the stock trades at a very reasonable 10.5 times trailing earnings, and you even get a generous 3.7% dividend yield." Some good advice there ... INTC trading at 10.5 PE and 3.7% dividend. Mahmoud
