Everything I read about Bulldozer seems to indicate that it is far from impressive. I am, however, perhaps more optimistic about the future of the micro-architecture than most.
I believe that if they can knuckle down and reduce the uncore to a more reasonable size and introduce a die shrink to 22nm, the processor will reach around 5Ghz overclocks on a decent watercooling setup.
Question is, are they going to 22nm in Piledriver or in Steamroller?
Another question is, when are they going to move past AM3+? If Piledriver ends up being the final AM3+ processor, I'm just going to skip AM3+ and wait for whatever comes after it.
