No, too much power consumption.
If it weren't for that I'd consider one for an HTPC build. I'd like that many cores to help me with encoding as I've got a rather large library of DVD's and Blu-Ray's to deal with.

Wouldn't quicksync take away the advantage of the extra cores?
Agreed, that is a really big deal and those power consumption numbers are effin ridiculous. I think AMD might be in real trouble here. They haven't even been able to get the best of their cheap desktop APU's to market. Not concern trolling at all as I am completely brand agnostic but I am actually a bit afraid for them going forward.
I can't see myself buying an AMD chip for several years now. It's low-end SB for me and then Ivy.

I agree. This is actually that bad. There is not a single good reason to buy a BD over Intel's offering, and I am an AMD fanboy.
This is a huge setback and I am afraid AMD won't be able to recover. This architecture they spent 7 years working on was clearly a step in the wrong direction.
With Ivy Bridge's improvements as well as 22nm tri-gate tech, the gap will widen even more.
What's funny, the one bright spot AMD has which is the APUs, at this point I am not so sure Trinity will actually be better than Llano for mobile OEMs.

Sure, since it's half the price of 2500k which is what I think they intended for it to compete with, but it sure fell short.
But you'd have to be high if you think AMD would cannibalize their Thuban sales. Actually, I have no idea what they're going to do, except shit their pants.
Exactly, Thuban hands this proc it's ass and evens up with it in gaming. WTFF
maybe AMD delayed BD so they could make a 32nm Thuban with higher clocks? Only excuse I would accept
@eastmen problem is overclocking, with BD you need like 200+ watts when you overclock which means you need a more expensive PSU and probably a more expensive motherboard. Not to mention extra heat and power usage you'll have.
It's the power efficiency that kills it for me.
2500k + 1155 is the pinnacle of value right now, and BD doesn't even come close. Even if it was $150.

@eastman
If you have the mobo and PSU already that will take it, sure.
I will keep an eye out. One thing I am hopeful about is that there is something seriously wrong with GloFlos fab process (which Llano sort of shows). Also this cache thrashing issue, maybe that can be fixed with a Bios or a stepping, even a driver.
Maybe those can be fixed, but it's doubtful. I will keep an eye out at least, because I really don't care much for Intel.
all i'm saying is that they are in a better postion than they were with Deneb and Thuban.
The fx 8150 competes in more programs than the x4 and x6 did against the sandy bridge chips .
